Possibilities of usage of the software and the conference system
The “Conference Manager” software allows you to conveniently manage and control the conference system. With the software, you can plan and graphically simulate conferences. Various configurations can be saved and thus be reused for other scenarios. In addition, you can use the software to control conferences. Conference rooms and conference participants are represented graphically, allowing you to keep track of and securely manage your conferences.
Hardware platforms for the software
The “Conference Manager” software can be run in two different ways:
The software is preinstalled on the central unit. In order to be able to use the software, you have to connect a screen, mouse and keyboard directly to the central unit (see “Preparing the central unit’s integrated software for use” on page 50).
Using the software on a Windows PC | Alternatively, you can install the software on a Windows PC. You then have to inte- |
| grate the PC together with the central unit in a network (see “Preparing the |
| Windows version of the software for use” on page 50). |

| Establishing a connection between the software and the conference system |
| In order to be able to control a conference via the “Conference Manager” software, |

| software preinstalled on a central unit can only be connected to its central unit. |
| If you want to preconfigure a conference system, you can also use the “Conference |
| Manager” software if there is no connection to the central unit. |
