How does the E-IPA card work in E1 antenna mode
Using EHX v12.1 firmware or later you can set your E-IPA card to work in E1 mode
This allows current Freespeak II (FSII BP) users who use the dedicated E1 infrastructure to expand their systems using E-IPA cards
note:
The IPA card must have 32 or more ports licensed needed to activate the E1 mode
Complete Card mode switch (E1 or IP )
E-IPA in E1 mode works like an E-QUE card
Up to 50 Beltpacks (1.9GHz) or up to 40 beltpacks (2.4GHz)
10 TCVRs
Roaming between cards (E-Que & E-IPA (E1))
Clear-Com specific fibre SFPs are required between the E-IPA card and the FSII-splitter (FSII -SPL)

You should NOT mix FSII-E1 Antennas in the same RF Space / Zone as FSII-IPT antennas if the IPTs are running in BV32 code mode (== x10 BPs per IPT antenna)
mixing the FSII E-Que/ E1 antennas and IPA-IPTS in the same RF zone has an issue where they wouldn’t work within the same RF space
The main issue is the EIPA and E-Que FSII don’t work together and interfere with each other and you will find system DECT IN-stability , with BPs and antennas dropping of line
If you set the IPTs into G722 mode then you can mix E1 and IPTs in the same RF zone. However the IPTS will only support x5 BPs per antenna
See FAQ: Matrix: Can I run FSII E1 antennas and FSII IPT (19) on the same system
Please note there is no option for a E1 CAT5 (copper) SFP from the E-IPA card to FSII-SPL
You can only connect E-IPA(32 port) card <Fibre> to FSII-SPL
See PDF for additional information
NOTE: Both single mode and multimode SFP’s are supported by E-IPA in E1 mode with splitter.
