If feedback is not responsive enough (which can be due to a large number of seats
all “buzzing in” at the same time, or to EtherNet propagation delays), people often
will hit the button again. This is not a good thing since the request button is multi-
functional. Therefore, if you experience such delays, we recommend “debouncing”
each button with a long delay, such as 2 to 4 seconds, to ignore additional button
presses.
Another strategy would be to flash the button quickly until the feedback signal
comes in. This flashing generally statisfies people and they will usually wait. The
downside to this scheme is that the feedback may never arrive if the seat is not
welcome into the queue at that moment, such as when the floor is not opened for
debate (signal block disabled); or if the seat has already spoken the maximum
number of times.
