Modes of operation
The CDS 4000 system can be operated automati-
cally and in FIFO mode when a CU 4005 or CU
4010 is used alone.
Together with the MC 4000 or controlled via the
optional RS 4232 board, the CDS 4000 system can
also be operated manually.
In short, the operation modes are:
•
Automatic
Delegates are allowed to switch their mi-
crophones on and off themselves by means of
the ON/OFF-button on the microphone units.
The red Speak light indicates that the
microphone is ON.
•
FIFO (First In First Out)
The same as above, but when the limit of
allowed speakers is reached, the next delegate
pushing the ON/OFF-button on the microphone
unit will not go On, but will be placed in
Request. So will all the next.
They will all be placed in a request queue with
the first in the queue flashing with the green
Request light indicating that he is next to speak.
When one of the open (ON) microphone units is
switched off, the next will automatically be
switched on. Usually this mode is used with
Max. Speakers set to 1.
•
Manual
Delegates cannot turn their microphone on
directly, but only make a request to speak by
pushing the ON/OFF-button on the microphone
units. The microphone can then be turned on
from e.g. the MC 4000 or a PC. The green
Request light indicates that a "request to speak"
has been made, and the red Speak light that the
microphone has been turned on by e.g. the MC
4000 or a PC.
Delegates can still turn their microphone off
themselves in manual mode or they can cancel
their request to speak made.
