System requirements

The operating system required

The SDC 8200 software requires Windows 2000 or Windows XP.

Note:

Both programs (“Confsys” to control the conference system and “IntSys” to control the interpretation system) require one free COM port each (RS 232 interface)! The SDC 8200 software therefore does not function on PCs which do not have at least one free COM port not assigned to another software – e.g. Hotsync (software for data transfer between a PC and a Palm PDA)!

The network

You can install the software on up to eight PCs in a network. One of these PCs must be configured as the “master” (see “Configuring the PC in a network” on page 44). The master PC gives you access to all functions of the conference and interpretation system. The dongle must be inserted into a free USB port of the master PC.

Up to two PCs can be configured as “slaves” (see “Configuring the PC in a network” on page 44). A slave PC also gives you access to all functions. The slave PCs do not require a dongle.

Up to five PCs can be configured as “video PCs” (see “Configuring the PC in a network” on page 44). A video PC does not give you access to the functions of the conference and interpretation system. Projectors or monitors connected to the video PCs are only for displaying data to the delegates or guests. The video PCs do not require a dongle either.
