Structuring and controlling the conference system

Large conference system with redundant ring topology

The redundant ring topology ensures that, should one conference unit or system cable fail or be manipulated, all other conference units of the cable ring will continue to function reliably.

For setting up a large conference system with redundant ring topology, you require one ADN CU1 central unit for controlling the conference and additional ADN PS power supplies for powering the conference units. The conference units are interconnected in rings and two rings can be connected to each ADN PS power supply.

Calculating the voltage supply of the conference units

The “ADN Cable Calculator” software allows you to calculate the voltage supply on the individual sections of a cable string or cable ring and to plan the structure of the conference system. The software is available from your Sennheiser partner or from the “Product Downloads” area on the product page at www.sennheiser.com.

For further information on the installation and use of the “ADN Cable Calculator” software, refer to the help section of the “ADN Cable Calculator” software and to the detailed instruction manual “ADN Conference System”.

Configuring and controlling the conference system

For configuring the conference system, you can either use the operating menu of the central unit or the “Conference Manager” software. The software also allows you to control conferences via a graphical interface.
