12.3.1.1 Prepare hardware
*All DECT base stations must be connected to your LAN and switched on.
*The DECT base station that you want to provide as the master base station must have Ascom AG firmware 11.4.4 or higher.
* 
If you are already operating a conventionally configured DECT system in your network which should remain, you must also update its base stations to firmware 11.4.4 or higher.
When the new system is provided, the already configured base stations remain assigned to the existing DECT system and are not automatically provided for the new system.
 
* 
If your DECT base stations are still operating with an older firmware version, you must update them manually.
You must also update the bootloader manually on the master base station.
