Setting up the SDC 8200 system
54
Interconnecting the consoles
To interconnect the consoles via the system cables:
왘
Connect the black RJ 45 plug of the system cable to the OUT socket
of the console.
왘
Connect the grey RJ 45 plug of the system cable to the IN socket
of
the console.
Note!
You can interconnect up to 20 consoles in one cable string.
Connecting a cable string to the central unit
After having interconnected the consoles, connect the cable strings to the
central unit. You can connect up to six cable strings to a single central unit.
To connect a cable string to the central unit:
왘
Connect the black RJ 45 plug of the system cable to one of the RJ 45
sockets labelled PORT 1 to PORT 6
of the central unit.
왘
Connect the grey RJ 45 plug of the system cable to the IN socket
of
the first console of a cable string.
왘
Initialize the consoles as described in the section “Turning on the
central unit for the first time” on page 86.
Interconnecting several central units (SDC 8200 CU central unit only)
You can only interconnect SDC 8200 CU central units. The length of the
system cables between the SDC 8200 CU central units must not exceed
10 m. If you wish to interconnect several SDC 8200 CU central units, we
recommend mounting the central units into a rack.
To interconnect several SDC 8200 CU central units:
왘
At the first central unit, connect the black RJ 45 plug of the system
cable to the MASTER OUT socket
.
If the SLAVE IN socket
of a central unit is not connected, this central
unit automatically becomes the “master”.
왘
Connect the grey RJ 45 plug of the system cable connected to the
“master” to the SLAVE IN socket
of the second central unit.
If the SLAVE IN socket
of a central unit is connected, this central unit
automatically becomes a “slave”.
왘
To connect additional “slaves”, connect the SLAVE OUT
socket of the
first “slave” to the SLAVE IN
socket of the following “slave”, and so
on.
Note!
The entire conference and interpretation system is configured,
managed 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.
