In general, existing systems do not require new flexible B34 IPE cards if their
Loss Plan stays the same. Those systems use the existing Loss Plan.
Newly installed systems have the new flexible B34 cards and can operate
with either the ETSI or the existing loss plan.
Systems using both B34 and non-B34 cards use the existing Loss Plan.
