Structuring and controlling the conference system Structuring and controlling the conference system Structuring a wired conference system Basic requirements for a conference system comprising wired conference units For safe operation of the conference system, make sure that all wired conference units are supplied with a voltage of at least 35 V! The voltage supplied depends on the number of connected conference units and on the cable lengths.
Structuring and controlling the conference system Small conference system with simple cabling For small conference systems with approx. 30-40 conference units, you require one ADN CU1 central unit for controlling the conference. The conference units are interconnected in two cable strings which are directly connected to the central unit. ADN CU1 ADN CU1 ESC RT PO PO II RT I max. 40 ADN D1/ADN C1 ADN CU1 ADN CU1 ESC 2 1 approx. 2–5 m max. 50 m 3 ... 20 approx. 2–5 m 52.
Structuring and controlling the conference system Large conference system with redundant ring topology The redundant ring topology ensures that, should one conference unit or system cable fail or be manipulated, all other conference units of the cable ring will continue to function reliably. For setting up a large conference system with redundant ring topology, you require one ADN CU1 central unit for controlling the conference and additional ADN PS power supplies for powering the conference units.
Structuring and controlling the conference system Setting up a wireless conference system Basic requirements for a conference system comprising wireless conference units The ADN-W C1 and ADN-W D1 wireless conference units connect wirelessly to the ADN-W AM antenna module, which is connected to the ADN CU1 central unit via system cable. The ADN-W AM antenna module can manage up to 75 wireless conference units.
Structuring and controlling the conference system Configuring and controlling the conference system For configuring the conference system, you can either use the operating menu of the central unit or the “Conference Manager” software. However, the full functionality of a wireless conference system can only be configured using the “Conference Manager” software. The software also allows you to control and monitor conferences via a graphical interface.
Preparing the ADN CU1 central unit for operation Preparing the ADN CU1 central unit for operation Setting up the central unit on a flat surface 왘 Make sure that the air vents are not covered or blocked. 왘 Place the central unit on a flat surface as shown. For information on how to mount the central unit into a 19” rack, refer to the ADN system manual.
Setting up the conference system Setting up the conference system CAUTION Product damage due to an unsuitable power supply! If you connect standard network devices with RJ45 plugs (e.g. switches or network cards) to the connection sockets PORT I , PORT II, DATA PS and / , the network devices can be damaged due to an unsuitable power supply. 왘 Only connect ADN C1 and ADN D1 conference units, ADN PS power supplies and the ADN-W AM antenna module to the connection sockets PORT I , PORT II, DATA PS and / .
Setting up the conference system Setting up a small wired conference system with only the central unit For a small wired conference system, you do not require ADN PS power supplies. Connecting conference units connected in a cable string to the ADN CU1 central unit The following describes how to connect one cable string to the ADN CU1 central unit. If necessary, repeat these steps for a second cable string.
Setting up the conference system Setting up a large wired conference system For conference systems comprising more than 40 conference units or when the conference units are connected in a redundant ring topology, you require ADN PS power supplies. A maximum of 15 ADN PS power supplies can be used in a conference system.
Setting up the conference system Setting up a wireless conference system For operating the wireless conference units, you require at least one ADN-W AM antenna module. Connecting the ADN-W AM antenna module to the ADN CU1 central unit 왘 Use a system cable (supplied with the ADN-W AM; the maximum cable length allowed is 50 m) to connect the PORT II socket 8 or PORT I socket 9 of the 4 of the ADN-W AM antenna ADN CU1 central unit to the input socket module.
Setting up the conference system Preparing to use the “Conference Manager” software Running the software installed on the central unit To use the “Conference Manager” software installed on the central unit, you require the following devices: Device Requirements Screen Connection: 15-pin Sub-D VGA Resolution: 800 x 600 pixels or higher IN –– AUDIO –– OUT PORT II PORT I 2x 52.8V 1.
Using the ADN CU1 central unit Connecting external audio devices to the central unit To output the floor channel via an external audio device: IN –– AUDIO –– OUT IN –– AUDIO –– OUT PORT II PORT I PORT II PORT I 2x 52.8V 1.75A 2x 52.8V 1.75A 7 왘 Use an XLR cable to connect the OUT audio output 7 of the central unit to an external audio device.
Using the ADN CU1 central unit Switching off the conference system If you have made changes to a configuration using the “Conference Manager” software, you have to save these changes before switching the central unit off. All other settings of the central unit are automatically saved. 왘 Set the on/off switch 1 of the ADN CU1 central unit to position “0”. The central unit is switched off and the display panel goes off.
Configuring the conference system Setting the volume of the conference units’ built-in loudspeakers Direct Access 30 D1/C1 20 You can set the volume of the conference units’ built-in loudspeakers via the jog dial on the central unit. The standard display displays the current volume setting H . CAUTION H Danger of hearing damage due to loud hissing! When the floor channel volume is set to a high level or when several participants speak simultaneously, feedback (loud hissing noise) can occur.
