The conference menu - overview
Default values of the microphone system
A number of default values will be loaded into the system the first
time the CPU5500 boots. These default values ensure a correct
operation of the CPU5500 conference system. When parameters
are changed, then they will be automatically saved by the
CPU5500.
To operate the microphone system of each delegate the conference
system needs to initialize the microphone system.
Initializing the microphone system
The first time you start using the TCS5500 Digital Conference &
Interpretation System in a new set-up you have to begin with an
initialization. The initialization can take place in two different
ways. You have the choice between an automatic initialization and
a manual initialization. Both options have their advantages and
disadvantages, which we will pinpoint in a moment.
The automatic initialization is very useful when you want to
initialize the conference units without initializing each conference
unit separately. When you enter the automatic initialization menu,
then the conference units will have initialized themselves. You will
be informed to wait a little. After pressing the
ENTER button the
units will be initialized, starting at port 1 of the CPU5500.
If the order in which the conference units are initialized is
important, then you are advised to use the manual init. When the
manual initialization is active, then the red signal ring of all the
conference units will begin to flash. Notice that only the delegate
units will begin to flash and not the interpreter units! The
interpreter units do not respond to an initialization of the
conference menu because these are managed by the interpreter
subsystem. Pressing the microphone button on the conference
units, and if present, any button of a voting panel, will signal the
central unit that the microphone and voting panel are initialized. If
the microphone is accepted by the central unit, then the red signal
ring will stop flashing. You can now initialize the conference units
in the order you desire.
In case you already have a room configuration set up which you
want to keep, and you want to add a new unit, then you can select
the
Add Unit menu item. When the menu item is activated, then the
red signal ring of all unknown conference units start to flash. The
new units may now be initialized by pressing the microphone
button.
