Operating the components of the
SDC 8200 system
Depending on the type of delegate unit, conference participants can:
y listen, take the floor or make a request to speak,
y receive simultaneous interpretation,
y participate in voting sessions.
In addition to the functions and features of the delegate units, the chair-
man unit allows to:
y start a voting session (SDC 8200 CV only),
y mute all active delegate units (priority function).
The interpreter consoles are exclusively used by the interpreters.
The central unit is operated by the conference manager – either directly or
via an optional PC with software control.
Turning the conference and interpretation system on/off
You turn the conference and interpretation system on by turning on the
central unit(s) (see the following sections). In doing so, all connected con-
ference consoles are also turned on.
y The central units are turned on if the POWER switch ƾ is set to position
“I” and the start display is shown on the LC display.
y The central units are turned off if the POWER switch ƾ is set to position
“0” and the start display is not shown on the LC display.
y The conference consoles are turned on if the “Microphone active” LED ƹ
lights up or flashes after the microphone key ƺ has been pressed.
Turning on the central unit for the first time
When turning on the central unit for the first time, the text “
Init
Refused” is shown on the displays of the conference consoles connected
to the central unit. The conference consoles cannot be detected by the cen-
tral unit, since they have not yet been assigned a microphone number.
Your conference system is not yet operational.
Note!
Once you have configured your conference and interpretation system,
the configuration will be retained in memory on turn-off. When turning
on the central unit again, your conference system is immediately oper-
ational.
̈ First, initialize the conference consoles in order to assign each console
an internal microphone number. You can choose between two initial-
ization modes: automatic (see page 85) and manual (see page 85) ini-
tialization.
