Vote 1 of 5

In “Vote 1 of 5” mode, you have the choice of five options (1 to 5):

To cast your vote, press the corresponding key	below the display.
Your vote is counted.
If voting is not secret, the corresponding voting LED			lights up.

After the voting session, the result of the vote is shown on the displays of the consoles.

Note!

If your conference system comprises conference consoles with three and five voting keys and you carry out a voting in “Vote 1 of 5” mode, this will falsify the voting results. In this case, always choose the “Vote 1 of 3” mode.

Using the chip card slot of a conference console

If the conference consoles feature a chip card slot and if your system is PC controlled, you can:

ymake sure that only authorized delegates can participate in voting ses- sions.

ytake roll-call votes, i.e. you can see the name of each conference partici- pant and his or her voting position.

Operating the VIP units

VIP units are special delegate units which have the “rights” of a chairman unit.

yWith a VIP unit, you can take the floor at any time, regardless of the con- ference mode and without first having to be assigned the “speaking right”.

yIf the chairperson presses the priority key , all active conference con- soles – except for the VIP units – are turned off. The chairperson cannot withdraw the “speaking right” from you.

yThe VIP units are operated in the same way as the delegate units.

Note!

You can configure VIP units either via the central unit’s operating menu (see “Configuring additional VIP units (VIP)” on page 91) or via the software control of the conference system.
