14. FUNCTION SETTINGS
14.1. Setting the Maximum Number of Open Microphone
Using the Number of open microphones setting switch on the
Central unit, set the maximum number of conference units that
can be simultaneously activated.
Set the switch to [1], [2], [3], or [4] depending on the type of the
conference. These numbers indicate the number of units that
can be simultaneously activated. (This switch is factory-preset
to the [1] position.)
Note
When the Talk key is pressed at a unit exceeding the set maximum
number, how the corresponding unit operates can be determined
in the speech priority settings referred to in the next section.
14.2. Speech Priority Settings
Operation following the depression of the Talk key on a
Conference unit, when the maximum number of speakers that can
be simultaneously initiated is reached, can be selected with the
Speech Priority Selector switch on the Central unit.
14.2.1. First-in/first-out priority
(FIRST, factory-preset switch position)
Speech is initiated on a first-come/first-served basis. When the
maximum number of speakers is reached, subsequent speech
requests cannot be accepted, even if the Talk key is pressed.
• Example when the number of open microphones is set to [2].
14.2.2. Last-in/first-out priority (LATEST)
When the maximum number of simultaneous speakers is reached, input from the most recent subsequent Talk
key-pressed Conference unit takes precedence, thus rendering earlier speaking units inoperable.
• Example when the number of open microphones is set to [2].
