• Swyx Directory - only one search result shown, if entries with identical name attributes but different phone numbers exist.

Known restrictions:

• The new as-feature events are not supported for the legacy SwyxPhone D881 (End of Sales)
• Easy provisioning (Adding new handsets to the system) does not work reliable in an environment with more than one DECT system. Sometimes it needs more than one attempt to register. Workaround: Restart the handset and retry the initial provisioning.

Introduced with Swyx 13 SwyxDECT 800 can be operated in 2 different modes.

• Swyx DECT Integration: For the initial set-up of the Swyx DECT Integration the DECT Master should be updated to the present FW v.13.1.2 (as usual). The update of the antennas ("slaves") and the handsets will then be done automatically as part of the Advanced DECT-Integration for SwyxDECT 800 feature.
  Before updating your DECT 800 system, please check carefully if your installation meets the requirements for the operation of the Advanced DECT-Integration feature (Swyx Online Help).  

• Standard installation w/o DECT-Integration for SwyxDECT 800: If your SwyxDECT 800 system does not meet the requirements for the use of Swyx DECT-Integration (e.g. Usage of Ascom Unite, IP-DECT GW, usage of multiple SyncMasters, Mirroring), you can continue to operate the system as usual. The update of the base stations will then be done as before, as well as the update of the handsets via the optional programming cradles or Ascom Unite.  

For installations with Advanced Swyx DECT-Integration, the firmware package is automatically made available in the Swyx Control Center in a timely manner. For installations whose components are updated via a local software distribution, as well as for standard installations, suitable firmware packages will be made available for download in the Enreach Partner Net on a short notice.
