Ericsson EDACS IPE-200, User Manual, Page: 5 / 56

INTRODUCTION
This manual describes how to use the IPE-200 Port-
able Radios. The IPE (Infinity) is a synthesized, micro-
processor-based, duplex portable FM radio providing
reliable two-way communications in Enhanced Digital
Access Communications System (EDACS) trunking en-
vironments.
Duplex is provided in EDACS systems while operat-
ing in the Telephone Interconnect Mode. At other times,
the radio provides simplex communications, i.e. when
placing group calls in the EDACS environment. In an
EDACS trunked environment the user selects a commu-
nications system. In this mode, channel selection is
transparent to the user and is controlled via digital com-
munication with the system controller. This provides ad-
vanced programmable features and fast access to com-
munication channels.
The exact operation of the radio depends on the radio
mode, the operating mode, the radio’s programming, and
the particular radio system. Most features described in
this manual may be enabled or disabled through pro-
gramming. Consult the system administrator for the re-
quired features to be programmed into the radio.
