The red signal light rings and the “Microphone active” LEDs on all conference consoles start flashing.

Choose “Delete Unit”.

The text “Micro Number = 00” is shown on the display.

Choose the “reserved” microphone number and press the ENTER key.

Choose “Add Unit”.

The signal light rings	of the conference consoles not yet initialized
remain flashing.

assign the previously reserved microphone number.

Selecting a conference mode

By selecting a certain conference mode, you can strongly influence the character of a discussion:

yYou determine the level of control of the chairman.

yYou determine whether the conference participants can take the floor any time or if they have to “apply” for comments.

Note!

By pressing the MICRO key of his or her console, the chairman can take the floor any time, regardless of the conference mode chosen. In addition, he or she can turn off all active microphones by pressing the PRIOR. key.

To choose the conference mode:

From the central unit’s operating menu, choose “Conference” and “Operating Mode” one after the other.

The current conference mode is shown on the display.

Choose the desired conference mode and press the ENTER key.

Note!

The selection of the conference modes “No request”, “With request” and “With Req. No clear” only makes sense if your conference and interpretation system is PC controlled.
