Conference

7 Initialise Units

Operating the components of the SDC 8200 system

Depending on the type of delegate unit, conference participants can:

ylisten, take the floor or make a request to speak,

yreceive simultaneous interpretation,

yparticipate in voting sessions.

In addition to the functions and features of the delegate units, the chair- man unit allows to:

ystart a voting session (SDC 8200 CV only),

ymute all active delegate units (priority function).

The interpreter consoles are exclusively used by the interpreters.

The central unit is operated by the conference manager – either directly or via an optional PC with software control.

Turning the conference and interpretation system on/off

You turn the conference and interpretation system on by turning on the central unit(s) (see the following sections). In doing so, all connected con- ference consoles are also turned on.

y The central units are turned on if the POWER switch	is set to position
“I” and the start display is shown on the LC display.
y The central units are turned off if the POWER switch	is set to position

“0” and the start display is not shown on the LC display.

yThe conference consoles are turned on if the “Microphone active” LED

lights up or flashes after the microphone key has been pressed.

Turning on the central unit for the first time

When turning on the central unit for the first time, the text “Init Refused” is shown on the displays of the conference consoles connected to the central unit. The conference consoles cannot be detected by the cen- tral unit, since they have not yet been assigned a microphone number. Your conference system is not yet operational.

Note!

Once you have configured your conference and interpretation system, the configuration will be retained in memory on turn-off. When turning on the central unit again, your conference system is immediately oper- ational.

￿First, initialize the conference consoles in order to assign each console an internal microphone number. You can choose between two initial- ization modes: automatic (see page 85) and manual (see page 85) ini- tialization.
