Configuring the conference system via the central unit
If the maximum number of speakers who can take the floor simultaneously (“Microphone Limit”) has not been reached, a further speaker can take the floor immediately.
Situation | The maximum number of speakers who can take the floor |
| simultaneously (“Microphone Limit”) has been reached. |
Event | A further speaker presses the microphone key on his or her |
| conference unit. |
Behavior | In “Direct Access” mode: |
| The speaker has to wait until one of the current speakers passes |
| on or loses his or her speaking privileges. He is then automati- |
| cally granted speaking privileges. |
| In “Override” mode: |
| The speaker can take the floor immediately. The speaker with |
| the longest speaking time loses his or her speaking privileges. |
|
|
•“Request” mode:
For this mode to function, a chairman unit is required.
In “Request” mode, the chairman receives requests to speak and grants speaking privileges according to the FIFO principle (First In – First Out), i.e. the speaker with the longest waiting time is granted speaking privileges.
Situation | The maximum number of requests to speak has been reached |
| (“Request Limit”). |
Event | A further speaker makes a request to speak. |
Behavior | The speaker can only make a request to speak if the maximum |
| number of requests to speak drops below the specified limit |
| value. |

Adjustment range: “1” ... “10”
The “Microphone Limit” menu item allows you to set the max. number of speakers who can take the floor simultaneously in all conference modes. Please note that any connected chairman unit is counted against the microphone limit. If you set a higher value (adjustment range “1” ... “10”) than the one determined by the number of connected chairman units, the system will reduce the microphone limit to the maximum possible value (see examples in the table).
Chairman units | Possible “Microphone Limit” values |
0 | “1” - “10” |
4 | “1” - “6” |
10 | “0” |
