TCS5500 – the Digital Conference & Interpretation System

Overview If you require high-quality conference and interpretation equipment

to support the communication process, then the TCS5500 Digital

Conference & Interpretation System is the solution to your

problem. The TCS5500 Digital Conference & Interpretation

System exploits all the advantages of digital communications

technology and offers its users a series of important features:

clear sound reproduction,

a full Digital System,

Flexibility in design and integration

extremely easy to operate microphone units,

audience interaction,

advanced functionality,

the possibility to be combined with an infrared Language Distribution System.

The TCS stands for Televic Conference System – the new

generation of fixed and expandable conference and interpreter

equipment.

The TCS5500 Digital Conference & Interpretation System is the

perfect choice for fixed installations such as conference centers,

international institutions, parliaments, city halls, ...

Page | 4

Components of the TCS5500 Conference & Interpretation System

A TCS5500 Digital Conference & Interpretation System basic

setup consists of the following components:

TMS5500 (microphone system),

TIS5500 (interpreter system),

CPU5500 (central unit, rack),

system cables,

and if required, the software control suite for the conference system.

It is possible to extend the system in a multiple room control

system. Therefore you will need the Televic Room Coupling

System (RCS5500).

TCS5500

Page | 5

TMS5500

TMS stands for Televic Microphone System and consists of

microphones, loudspeakers, voting units, intercom (room

equipment):

INT5500 : delegate controller interface

SPL5525 : digital signal splitter

DM(L)5500 : delegate microphone

CM(L)5500 : chairman microphone

DCS(L)5500 : listening unit

IHS5500 : intercom unit

LS5500 : loudspeaker

VFB5500 : voting units

Custom units (AIP, MAOP, …)

TIS5500

TIS stands for Televic Interpretation System and consists of

interpreter units of which three different products are available

(interpreter equipment):

ID5500 : interpreter desk

PIO5500 : programmable input output panel

DIOP500 : digital input output panel

An extended amount of functionality is made available on the

interpreter unit by the easy to use interface knobs and buttons and

the LCD display.

Central equipment

The central equipment can consist of various products

CPU5500 : central unit of the system

EU5500(L) : extension unit

PRC5500 : passive room coupling unit

AIP5500 : analog input panel

AOP5500 : analog output panel

PS5500/10..20A: power supply 48V

RSU5500 : Room switching unit

RMU5500 : Room merging unit

Page | 6

The CPU5500 central unit is the core of the TCS5500 Digital

Conference & Interpretation System.

During the conference, the central unit will manage the speech of

the delegate units and the interpreter units.

The system cables

The system cables transmit the digital audio and status information.

They also provide the power supply to the interface, conference

and interpreter units.

For the correct functioning of all equipment, each specific cable

has a specific color.

The system cable has a yellow color. This yellow cable has a black

plug and a gray plug. The black plug is dedicated to an OUTPUT

(from CPU5500, INT5500, EU5500…), the gray plus is dedicated

to an INPUT (INT5500, ID5500, FOC5500…)

Use of the correct cables and a proper connection of these cables is

of utmost importance for correct functioning of the system.

Please note that the use of a regular patch cable cannot be used.

The wire section of the system cable is AWG24, and therefore

thicker than a regular patch cable (AWG26).

The software control suite (optional)

A conference manager can control the entire conference via a PC if

he uses the optional software control suite. The software control

suite provides several extra functions, next to the functionality

provided by the central unit:

Additional functions for microphone management: the conference manager can easily monitor which delegates

have made a request to speak, which delegates are currently

speaking, activate certain microphones, etc. Two possibilities to

manage the microphones are supplied: the first is a schematic

view of the room and the delegates; the second is through a list

of names (nominative view).

Display of voting results as diagrams: the results of a voting can be represented graphically and can, for example, be

displayed in the conference room by using a projector. Voting

in combination with badge verification is also possible.

Interpreter management: the conference manager can configure each desk in each booth. Configuration includes assignment of

languages to interpreter units (both for the A and B channel),

operation modes, etc.

Delegate database: the delegate database allows the conference manager to specify delegate information. This information can

then be displayed in the nominative and the schematic view of

TCS5500

Page | 7

the microphone management screens. It is also possible to use

the information contained on the badges.

The technology used

Both the control and sound transmission of the TCS5500 Digital

Conference & Interpretation System are digital, resulting in

excellent quality. The language channels are transmitted over a 16

kHz bandwidth at a 16-bit resolution.

The delegate microphone units are connected to the delegate

controller interfaces. The interfaces are connected to each other and

to the central unit by means of system cables.

Power Supply The CPU5500 has an internal power supply of 10A (500W).

However, when there is use of EU5500 extension units, or when

the internal power supply is insufficient, a separate power supply is

necessary (PS5500/10 or PS5500/20).

Two essential criteria need to be taken into account before the

installation of the TCS5500 system takes place:

the power consumption of the system must be estimated by using the appropriate “power calculation table”. All the

units that are connected to the TMS- or TIS network have a

known power consumption that has to be taken into account

for the total power consumption.

the voltage in the TMS or TIS-network may not be lower than 36V. This concerns specifically the cable lengths and

associated cable losses.

By means of an example, the above items are explained.

An example

The central unit forms the heart of the system from which a TIS-

network originates consisting of 6 interpreter units. The TMS-

network consists of 3 branches of 10 interface units. Each interface

has 4 microphone panels (DML5500).

The power supply to be used

Data:

Internal power supply in CPU5500: 48V / 10A

Interface unit and microphone panels asks 5W.

Interpreter unit needs 5W.

Question: Which power supply is needed?

Page | 8

Solution:

TIS: 6 * 5W = 30W

TMS: 3 * 10 * 5W = 150W

We need a power supply with a capacity of min. 180W.

The power supply 48V/10A can exactly produce 480W (branches

533W out of the net), but there must be a reasonable reserve of

20%. The internal power supply is sufficient in this case.

This example is a basic power calculation in order to estimate.

Larger installations need a more detailed calculation that takes into

account the cable length of the branches

Loss of voltage

The voltage of an interface unit may not be lower than 36V. To

calculate the loss of voltage one must take into account the number

of interface units, the devices connected to it and the length of the

cables (with its losses) connecting the interface units.

A program, PowerCalc, has been created to calculate this. The

program asks some details: the power supply, the number of

interface units, the connected devices, the branch and the distance

between the interface units. The program calculates the voltage at

each interface unit and the total cable length. If the voltage

becomes lower than 36V, a new branch must be created from the

central.

PS5500

Description

The power supply PS5500 is a 19" rack mount version. The front

panel is equipped with a rocker mains switch with built-in indicator

and two mains fuses.

The PS5500 is available in different versions, where the output

voltage is 48V and the output current is 10A or 20A.

The use of an additional power supply is needed when the internal

power supply of the CPU5500 is insufficient, or the need of more

than the available branches is needed (and therefore an extension

unit is needed).

Features & Controls

Front panel mounted mains fuses.

On/Off rocker switch with built-in indicator.

48 V DC LED indicator.

TCS5500

Page | 9

Connectivity

The 230 V mains is connected to the PS5500 by means of a male connector at the back of the power supply. A

switched mains outlet is available at the rear of the frame.

six female Phoenix connectors are provided at the rear of the PS5500 1U to branch off the 48 V

four female Phoenix connectors are provided at the rear of the PS5500 4U to branch off the 48 V.

The picture bellow shows the front and rear view of the PS5500 4U

(obsolete) and the new 1U version.

Some important data

The distance between the central unit CPU5500 and the first interface unit INT5500 or splitter SPL5525 in the branch,

may maximum be 100 m .

The distance between two splitters SPL5525 may be max. 50m

One branch may maximum consist of 10 interface units or Splitters (depending of the total length of the system cable).

Longer cable lengths will limit this maximum number (ref:

power calculation)

A mix of INT5500’s and SPL5525’s on the same branch is

allowed

Maximum 10 interpreter units in one branch may be connected; Longer cable lengths will limit this maximum

number (ref: power calculation)

An interface unit needs 4W, a microphone panel +0.25W (per panel), a channel selector +1.6W, a loudspeaker +2.4W

an interpreter unit only needs 5W

The voltage of an interface unit may not be lower than 36V

TCS5500

Page | 11

TMS room equipment

From the central unit a TMS-network starts consisting of interface

units. On these interface units, microphones, channel selectors,

voting panels and loudspeaker units are connected. There are

models to be placed on the table and others are surface mounted.

Delegate controller interface (INT5500)

4 microphones and 4 channel selectors, voting or loudspeaker units

can be connected to the interface using the MIC RJ-48 and DCS

RJ-45 connector sockets. These different units can be combined to

satisfy the user demands. Some possible connection configurations

are graphically summarized in appendix A.

The interface unit has two RJ-45 shielded connector sockets

labeled IN and OUT, which will be used to connect the interface to:

1. the central unit

Use a system cable that interconnects the TMS1 (2, 3 or 4)

RJ-45 shielded connector socket from the CPU5500 and

the RJ-45 socket labeled IN.

2. another interface unit

Interconnect IN (interface) to OUT (previous interface

unit) with a system cable.

3. an extension unit

Connect the interface to a port on the extension unit. An

EU5500 can extend the network with 8 branches.

Table top units

Interphone: the handsets (IHS5500)

The connection must always be done on a MIC and DCS port with

the same number! Four interphone handsets can be connected to

one interface.

Encoder settings

To set the intercom number of the handset you need to adjust two

rotary switches on the circuit board. Carefully remove the bottom

plate by unscrewing the screw at the top of the handset, under the

hook. The bottom of the circuit board is showed on the picture

below.

Notice the two RJ45 connectors to connect the handset in the TMS

network and the two rotary DIP switches. The switch on the left is

used to set the units of the intercom number. The other switch sets

the decimals.

For example:

The following setting will result in an intercom number 16.

The maximum allowed number depends on the version of the

IHS5500 system. The most recent version (1.02) supports the

numbers 1 to 79 while the older version (1.01) only supports the

numbers 1 to 19.

Configuring the conference system

Overview This chapter provides instructions on how to:

operate the CPU5500 User Interface,

initialize the microphone system,

set the operating microphone mode,

adjust the audio settings for the loudspeaker,

activate and configure the auxiliary inputs and outputs,

resetting the microphone system,

access the microphone options,

configure the interpreter system,

choose the language options for the different booths.

Page | 32

Introduction to the CPU5500 central unit’s operating menu

The startup display

After turning on the central unit(which takes about one minute), the

start display appears, showing the TCS5500 Digital Conference &

Interpretation System main menu where you can choose between

five menu choices (when ENTER has been pressed):

Conference: contains the configuration of the microphone system and the delegate units.

Interpretation: contains the configuration of the interpreter system and the interpreter booths.

AUX-In/Out: contains the configuration of the auxiliary outputs and inputs.

System: contains system wide configuration options

Menu Language: contains the language configuration of the CPU5500 central unit’s menu.

After approximately one minute (this time can be set at 15s, 30s,

60s, 12s and No Return) the menu will jump to the volume setting

of the delegate loudspeaker. This happens because the volume

setting is accessed most frequently when using the TCS5500

Digital Conference & Interpretation System.

The lock functionality

It is possible to lock the menu of the central unit. Suppose that you

configured the central unit to your desires and you do not want

anyone to alter these settings. To do this, you have to lock the main

screen of the central unit. This is the screen where you can see the

volume bar.

Navigate to the main menu of the central unit. The menu can now

be locked by pressing the F3 and the EXIT button at the same time

and keep them pushed for about two seconds. After you released

the buttons the locking symbol ( ) will be displayed in the lower

right corner of the screen of the central unit. When you try to

access the menu of the central unit by pressing the ENTER button,

nothing will happen. This means that you are successfully locked

out of the menu. However, the volume control of all delegate

loudspeakers can still be controlled by using the jog wheel.

The menu can be unlocked again by the operator whenever he

wants to alter some settings. The sequence to unlock the menu is

the same as the sequence to lock the menu. Press the F3 and the

EXIT button at the same time again for about two seconds to

TCS5500

Page | 33

unlock the menu. When the buttons are released the locking symbol

( ) will disappear from the lower right corner of the main menu.

Note: The locking symbol also appears on certain central units in a

coupled environment. Specifically, they appear on the slave central

units. On the display the following information is shown:

CPU5500 S>S n>n (with n=mode number)

IP Address of the CPU

Port status

P1…P6 with the key symbol

A slave central unit has no volume bar. Additionally the STATUS

LED is flashing.

The menu buttons

The jog wheel, ENTER and EXIT button allow you to navigate

through the operating menu. The function keys can give direct

access to some menu items, or are necessary for special

configurations.

Structure of the CPU5500 central unit’s operating menu

The menu trees on the following pages can be used as a quick

reference guide when configuring the conference menu.

In the menu tree the following information is given for each menu

item:

The buttons that have to be used to get to the desired menu item

The setting(s) that can be adjusted

The buttons that have to used for adjusting the setting(s)

The buttons that have to used for saving the setting

The button that has to be used if you want to quit a menu item without saving the setting(s)

Note that when a menu item is boxed in blue (and have a thick box

around it), this means that this menu item will not return

automatically to the main menu if no action is taken within a

certain time.

In the “Conference” menu all settings are saved with a

confirmation question. Only the delegate loudspeaker volume is an

exception and will always be saved when changed.

In the “Interpretation” menu an explicit save must be performed

after changing parameters through the menu

2.Interpretation/1.Configuration/4.Save Config. After confirmation,

all the interpreter desks will be restarted and take over the changed

parameters.

To be able to save the settings of the Aux-In/Out analog

input/output the user must first select a preset through menu 3.Aux-

In/Out/9.Preset/1.Select Preset. This step allows the user to load

some settings to start from. After changing Aux-In/Out settings

through the menus 3.Aux-In/Out/1..8 the user can save these

settings through menu 3.Aux-In/Out/9.Preset/1.Save Preset (only

the selected preset can be saved to prevent overwriting of other

presets).

In short: Conference parameters are saved one by one with a

confirmation question, Interpretation and Aux-In/Out parameters

must be saved by means of a “save” menu.

Working with the main menu

The main screen

The main screen contains two important elements. The first is a

volume bar that can be altered using the jog wheel. During a

conference the volume can be set lower or higher when necessary.

The second element is an indication of the ports. These indicate

which ports are used and to which port a string of conference

terminals is connected. More of this is explained in the section

discussing the system diagnostics.

F1 function key

The F1 function key is a shortcut to the menu option that handles

the Aux Out 1 characteristics. This is a frequently chosen option.

With the resulting screen the Volume of the output can be changed,

the output channel can be chosen, and the channel can be activated

or deactivated (Status).

When F1 is pushed again, you will return to the main menu

F2 function key

The F2 function key is a shortcut to the menu option that handles

the Aux Out 6 characteristics, where the loudspeaker and

headphone volume can be set. When F2 is pressed again, you will

return to the main menu.

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.

In case you want to delete a conference unit from the configuration,

you have to select the microphone number on the central unit in the

Delete Unit menu item. Once you have selected the appropriate

number and pressed the ENTER button, then you can remove the

conference unit.

Note: When you enter the Manual Init – Full Init menu item, then

all data about previously reserved numbers will be lost.

Choosing the conference mode

By selecting a certain conference mode, you can strongly influence

the character of a discussion:

you can determine the level of control of the chairman,

and you can determine whether the conference participants can take the floor immediately or if they have to “apply” for the

floor.

Note: A chairman is always able to speak! No matter what mode

the conference system is in, the chairman or VIP is always able to

speak by pressing his MICRO button.

You have the choice between 10 different operating modes. The

operating mode is selected in the Operating Mode menu item. Note

however that one mode is only useful in combination with a PC

installed with the software control suite. This mode is: No request.

Without a PC you can use the With request, With request – no

clear, Direct Access, FIFO, Group 1-4 and Override. With a PC

and the software control suite all the operating modes can be used.

Operating modes:

No request: the participant willing to speak has to notify the conference manager that he is willing to speak. He can do this

by raising his hand or any other means not involving the

microphone. Once the conference manager has noticed that a

participant has requested the floor, he can activate microphone

of the participant or ignore his request. The conference operator

has total control over the microphones.

With request: enables the participant to send a request to the chairman or conference operator by pressing the microphone

button (or to cancel his request by pressing the microphone

button again). Once the floor is requested, the green LED above

the microphone button will flash and when configured so, the

LED ring on the microphone too. This means that the

conference unit is in request mode. The chairman or conference

operator grants the participant the permission to talk by clicking

the green microphone on the computer screen. While the

conference unit is in request, the red signal ring of the

microphone will flash if this option is selected.

With request no clear: enables the participant to send a request to the conference operator. However, he cannot cancel his

request. The chairman or conference operator grants the

participant the permission to talk by active clicking the green

microphone on the software control suite. During the in request

period, the red signal ring of the microphone will flash if this

option is selected.

Direct Access: enables the participant to turn on his microphone at any time. The only limitation here is the maximum number

of simultaneously active microphones.

FIFO: enables one microphone at a time to be active without intervention of the conference operator. Activation of a new

microphone overrides the current active microphone. The only

exception here is that the microphones of a delegate and the

chairman can be active at the same time.

Group 1: enables one microphone at a time to be active without a request for activation. Other participants may put their

microphone in request mode; the first applicant gets the floor

when the delegate who has the floor turns off his active

microphone or when the chairman or conference operator

grants the participant the permission to talk by clicking the

green microphone on the computer screen.

Group 2: enables two microphones to be active at the same time. Other participants may put their microphone in request

mode; the first applicant who requested the floor gets the floor

when one of the currently active microphones is turned off or

when the chairman or conference operator grants the participant

the permission to talk.

Group 3: works exactly like Group 1 and Group 2, with the alteration that three participants can have the floor at the same

time.

Group 4: works exactly like Group 1 and Group 2, with the alteration that four participants can have the floor at the same

time.

Override: works like the FIFO mode, with the alteration that “MAX # Microphones” participants can have the floor at the

same time. Activation of a new microphone will overrides the

microphone that was active for the longest time if the total

number of active microphones would exceed the user defined

“MAX # Microphones”. Here we have also the exception that

Chairmen units can always be activated.

Page | 52

Max number of simultaneously active microphones

In the operating mode No request, With request, With request – No

Clear and Direct Access the maximum number of microphones

which may be active is relevant. This number can be set in the Max

# Microphones menu item. The range of this value is between 1

and 9.

Adjusting the volume settings of the loudspeaker

By selecting the Loudspeaker menu item you can alter the audio

settings of the conference unit’s loudspeakers. It is possible to

adjust the volume. The volume can also be adjusted when the menu

jumps back to main menu. Turning the jog wheel will

automatically change the volume. The volume setting is

immediately stored in the central unit.

Adjusting the audio settings for the microphone

By selecting the Micro menu item you can alter the audio settings

of the conference unit’s microphone. It is possible to adjust the

automatic gain reduction, the limiter gain and micro couples.

Turning the wheel button will automatically change the audio

setting.

The automatic gain reduction indicates how much the gain will be

reduced when multiple microphones become active. The higher the

number, the higher the reduction will be for multiple microphones.

If you choose to save the settings, then these settings will be stored

in the central unit so that the next time the system boots these

settings will become active automatically.

The following graphic shows the automatic gain reduction in

function of the number of microphones that are activated. The gain

reduction is indicated in decibel and referenced to the gain for one

active microphone. Each graph indicates an automatic gain

reduction number that can be set on the central unit.

The limiter Gain is used to achieve a constant level of audio output

from the microphone. When the delegate raises or lowers his voice,

or changes the distance from the microphone, the level can change.

Therefore the limiter has to have a large range. However, when

there is use of a PA system, this can lead to Larsen. The user has to

seek a balance between the audio level of the floor channel and the

limiter setting.

Possible values of the limiter setting are:

Gate = ON : limiter range is 32 dB with noise gate 4 dB

Gate = OFF : limiter range is 32 dB without noise gate

- 4 dB : limiter range is 28 dB without noise gate

Micro couple is used to couple two microphones together, so that if

one microphone is activated, the other is automatically activated as

well.

This menu allows to activate/deactivate the coupling of

microphones.

The first three couples can be set by the central unit, more couples

(up to 10) need to be set in the software control suite.

Resetting the microphone system

If for any reason the system has to be reset, you can do this in the

Reset menu item. Only the microphone system will shut down and

start up again immediately. This will not affect the interpreter

system.

Accessing the microphone options

The microphone options are the Options menu item. The menu

item contains a number of menu items which allows the conference

system to be checked and to adjust some general settings. Two test

modes can check the sound of the delegate loudspeakers and can

check which microphones are connected to and initialized by the

CPU5500 central unit.

The Test Tone function is used to generate a test tone of 1kHz,

which is internally generated by microphone number 1 in the

system. This tone is set on the floor channel, on the delegate

loudspeakers and also on all free channels (where there is no

translation on-going) . The level of the tone is equal to the digital

level 0 dBFS (max), nominal level at –10 dBFS, and –20 dBFS as a

comfortable level to test the loudspeakers.

The Test Tone comes in useful when you are testing the

loudspeakers of the delegate units. Activate the Test Tone option

whenever you are not sure that the loudspeaker of a delegate unit is

working correctly.

The Test Units option will activate the LEDs of all delegate units

one by one in the sequence they were initialized. Once the test

sequence reaches the last unit, it will automatically restart the test.

The Test Units option is useful when you initialized the delegate

units and you want to test if there were all initialized correctly. The

delegate units will only activate when they are known to the

system.

The third item in the Options menu allows you to set the behavior

of the red signal ring on a delegate unit microphone during request.

You can choose to let the signal ring blink along with the green

request LED or you can choose to only let the green request LED

blink on the unit in request.

The conference menu - example Suppose the following circumstances apply: a TCS5500 Digital

Conference & Interpretation System needs to be set up in a

conference room in which a meeting with 10 participants will

occur. One of these participants is a chairman and the participants

will have to vote during the conference. We will need up to 10

conference units for our system of which one conference unit is a

chairman unit.

Let’s start setting up the system starting from a default

configuration. The setup will be described one step at a time to

make it easier to understand. If you feel that the discussion of the

setup is too detailed, feel free to skip this section.

The starting point of the steps that needs to be taken is the main

screen of the central unit unless noted otherwise.

Loading the default settings

Start by loading the default setting for the conference desks. We

start from the main menu.

Press ENTER, choose System. Press ENTER again, now choose CPU Defaults. Press ENTER. Press ENTER again to load the

default values.

To go back to the main menu, repeatedly press the EXIT button until you reach the main menu.

After loading the default values the system automatically reboots. Start from the main menu again. Press ENTER, choose

Conference. Press ENTER again, now choose Reset. Press

ENTER again to reset the conference system. Now go back to

the main menu.

Select the operating mode

We want to select our mode of operation. The differences between

the different modes of operation are explained above.

Press ENTER, choose Conference. Press ENTER again, now choose Operating Mode and press ENTER. Select the operating

mode and press ENTER to save the operating mode.

Changing the delegate loudspeaker settings

The audio settings of the delegate loudspeaker can be changed if

for instance the volume settings of the delegate loudspeakers are

too low.

The volume setting of the loudspeakers of the conference units can

easily be changed in the main menu by turning the jog wheel. This

value is immediately saved.

TCS5500

Page | 57

Changing the delegate microphone settings

The audio settings of the delegate microphone can be changed if

for instance the gain is to high (with Larsen as effect) when

multiple microphones are activated.

The automatic gain reduction setting of the conference units can be

changed by following the next sequence of steps.

Press ENTER, choose Conference. Press ENTER again, now choose Micro. Press ENTER and choose Aut. Gain Red.. Press

ENTER and turn the wheel to set the gain reduction to the

desired value. Press ENTER to save the adjusted gain reduction

level.

Changing the maximum number of microphones which may be active simultaneously

Press ENTER, choose Conference. Press ENTER again, now

choose Max # Microphones. Press ENTER. Turn the wheel to alter

the maximum number of microphones. Press ENTER to save your

settings.

Initializing the conference units

There are 2 options during the initialization, an automatic and a

manual initialization. In most of the cases an automatic

initialization will suffice. The manual initialization is most handy

when you want the delegate units numbered in a desired sequence.

The automatic initialization is self-explanatory; to initiate it,

execute the following sequence.

Press ENTER, choose Conference. Press ENTER again, now choose Initialize Units. Press ENTER, choose Automatic Init.

Press ENTER. Wait until the menu displays the number of

microphones found and the number of the microphone that is

assigned as president microphone, then press EXIT.

The manual init consists out of four parts. We have a Full Init, an Add Unit and a Delete Unit menu choice. The purpose of

these menu choices has been explained above. The steps which

need to be taken are similar to the example given below.

To manually initialize the conference units execute the following sequence: Press ENTER, choose Conference. Press

ENTER again, now choose Initialize Units. Press ENTER,

choose Manual Init. Press ENTER and choose Full Init. Press

ENTER. The red signal rings of the conference units will start

flashing. Press the MICRO button of the conference units in any

sequence you desire. After pressing the MICRO button the red

signal ring stops flashing and the green LED switches on as

Page | 58

acknowledgment, this means that the conference unit is

initialized.

Go back to the CPU5500 central unit and press the ENTER button to save the configuration.

To add a conference unit, execute the Add Unit menu option. The

red signal ring of the new conference units will start flashing. Press

its MICRO button to initialize it.

When you want to delete a conference unit from the current

configuration execute the Delete Unit menu option.

Select the number of the microphone you want to delete. Press ENTER to delete the microphone.

Let the red signal ring blink in request mode

To let the red signal ring blink along with the green request led

above the microphone button follow the next procedure.

Press ENTER, choose Conference. Press ENTER again, now

choose Options. Press ENTER and choose Light Ring. Press

ENTER and turn the wheel to set the light ring in Blink in Request

mode. Press ENTER to save this setting.
