Adjusting the conference mode ￿ Select the desired conference mode from the “Conference Mode” drop-down list.

Possible settings: “Direct Access”, “Override” and “Request”.

•“Direct Access” mode and “Override” mode:

These two conference modes do not require the use of a chairman 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 or she is then auto-
	matically 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.
