Chapter 8 - Management Tools
The following modes are available:
—Circular - The system allocates the next available sequential unit in the order in which it is numbered on the card according to the unit numbers. For example, if the last used unit is 2, the next time a conference is run, the system will allocate units starting with unit 3 (provided that unit 3 is free). This mode should be used when you suspect that there may be faulty units, allowing the system to allocate other units for the conferences while the faulty units are replaced, or reset. However, this mode should not be used when debugging the system, as the problems will be inconsistent if the problematic units are not used constantly.
—Terminal - The system always starts the unit allocation from the first free unit on the first card. This mode may be problematic when there is one faulty unit (especially if it is the first or second) that prevents the system from running conferences. However, this should be the selected mode when debugging the system.
