Note!

The entire conference and interpretation system is configured, man- aged and controlled exclusively via the “master” central unit.

All operating controls on the “slaves” are locked, except for the F2 key. This is indicated by a “key” symbol () in the lower right corner of the display.

Activating the master/slave mode

Turn on all central units.

To set a central unit from master mode to slave mode, press the F2 function key and keep it pressed for three seconds.

The operating controls are locked. The “slave” icon appears on the display.

Note!

The SDC 3200 CU-M central unit cannot be set to slave mode. There- fore, no “master” icon or “slave” icon appears on the display.

Exiting the “slave” mode of a central unit

If several SDC 8200 CU central units are interconnected, the operating con- trols of all “slave” central units are locked, except for the F2 function key. With the F2 function key, you can unlock the operating controls of a “slave”, which then automatically becomes a “master”. This allows you to e.g. configure the AUX outputs or to divide a large conference and inter- pretation system up into several smaller systems. Please be aware that the AUX inputs of the slave central units will be disabled in a Master-Slave- configuration, only the AUX inputs of the master central unit will be avail- able.

To unlock the operating controls of a “slave” central unit:

Press the F2 function key and keep it pressed for three seconds.

The operating controls are unlocked. The “master” icon appears in the upper right corner of the display.

Note!

Please note that the new “master” central unit is no longer connected to the conference system.

To reintegrate the “slave” central unit into the conference system and to lock the operating controls:

Press the F2 function key and keep it pressed for three seconds.

The operating controls are locked. The “slave” icon appears in the upper right corner of the display.
