3.3.4 Operation
Before a meeting starts, the conference units need to
be configured by the operator, including: numbering
and testing. During the meeting, the participators can
use the conference unit to sign-in, activate microphone,
request to speak, vote, etc.
3.3.4.1 Delegate unit
We take HCS-3660DBE as an example to introduce
the operation of M-series discussion units.
HCS-3662DB does not feature all of these functions.
1. Number
First of all, make sure that the conference units are
connected properly to the CMU. All conference units
must be numbered when the system is used for the first
time or when adding or replacing conference units. The
numbering function can be activated by menu
operation on the CMU front panel or by application
software.
After selecting “Numbering” with the “MENU” key, two
options “All” and “Append” will be shown on the LCD of
the CMU.
When the system is first in use, “All” should be selected.
Press “MENU” to confirm and a “Numbering” prompt
will be shown on the LCD. When “Numbering” is shown
on the LCD, all the LED indicators on the contribution
units connected will blink. Now press key “1”
(discussion unit with voting function) or “Mic ON/Off”
key (discussion unit without voting function) on the
contribution units one by one to number each unit. The
number starts from “1” and the next number is
increased by 1. When numbering, number the
contribution unit one by one in a certain order, make
sure not to press more than 1 contribution unit at a time,
otherwise repeated numbers may arise and complicate
the management of the conference. When finished,
press the “EXIT” key to select “End” numbering, the
CMU will automatically test each line and read the
number data.
Now the CMU needs to restart.
In case the number of contribution units is increased or
some unit is replaced, the increased or replaced unit
can be connected directly into the current system and
there is no need to restart the CMU. Press “MENU” to
select “Append”, and then choose “Add from number of
maximum”; at this moment, all the indicators on the
contribution units connected will blink, just press key
“1” (discussion unit with voting function) or “Mic
ON/Off” key (discussion unit without voting function) of
the added/replaced units to number them. Those units
numbered previously do not need numbering again.
After numbering, presses “EXIT” to finish, the CMU will
test the lines automatically and read the data.
2. Sign-in
(application software needed, HCS-3662DB
does not have this function)
To carry out voting, discussion units with voting and
IC-card reader should be registered via key press or
IC-card. With application software, registration is
available by choosing “Seat Sign-in”.
Key-press sign-in
In key-press sign-in status, the indicating light of
key “1” will blink, press key “1” to sign-in and the
indicating light will be turned off.
IC card sign-in
The LED indicator will be on for units without LCD,
after the card is inserted, the LED indicator goes out
with a chime to indicate the registration. If the LED
light remains on means that the card is inserted
incorrectly or is invalid. Please insert the IC card
correctly or contact the technical support.
3. Speaking

section 2.1.4)
