en | System installation overview 3.2 DICENTIS System extension The DICENTIS Conference System is scalable from small to medium to large. This section describes what a small, medium and large system is and what the requirements are for these systems: A small DICENTIS Conference System (see Typical system setup, page 8) consists of: – up to 100 DICENTIS devices. – all DICENTIS devices in 1 subnet. – 1 DICENTIS Audio Powering Switch for the audio processing.
System installation overview | en DICENTIS 11 An ARNI (Audio Routed Network Interface) is used to increase the number of DICENTIS devices on a single subnet and to connect multiple DICENTIS system subnets. If more than one subnet is required, two types of an ARNI must be used. – OMN-ARNIS (ARNI‑S OMNEO interface): The ARNI‑S is required for increasing the system size above 100 DICENTIS devices. It supports up to 450 DICENTIS nodes in its subnet. It also acts as a DHCP server in its subnet.
en | System installation overview – DICENTIS This timer (or restriction) cannot be reached when there is no cable redundancy. This is because the power limitation will be reached before the max age restriction is reached. – 2016.07 | V1.4 | The timer can be reached when: – you use cable redundancy. – the system is incorrectly wired.
