3.2.9 Connection of Media Control System and PC
If you want to connect a media control system and a PC to the MCW-D 50 control unit, connect the PC to the LAN network
connection and the media control system to the RS 232 connection .
For the direct connection of the LAN network connection to a PC you must use a crossover cable.
The LAN settings are explained in the protocol of the MCW-D 50 Conference Software.
3.3 Connecting and Positioning of remote Antennae*
The MCW-D 50 control unit can also be operated with remote antennae. Low attenuation connecting cables are available in
different lengths. Please note that all three antennae have to be connected remotely. The transmitting antenna should be
mounted in the centre and the receiving antennae on the left and right. The range can be increased by using a directional
antenna (e.g. CA 2413, gain approx. 6 dB).
Depending on the cable attenuation you should use antenna amplifiers if the cables are long.
Installation with remote antennae*
Important:
Never access the MCW-D 50 control unit via the media control system and the MCW-D 50 Conference Software
simultaneously. In this case a correct function of the system cannot be guaranteed.

The CA 2413 planar antenna is connected to the MCW-D 50 control unit and mounted onto a stand with the CA 2462 mounting
kit. For more information refer to the “MCW-D Design Guide”.
Important:
There must be an unobstructed path between the microphone units and the antennae, i.e. between the
MCW-D 50 control unit and the microphone units there must not be any obstacles. The range is around
30 - 50 m. For optimum range the surface of the table is important, wood or plastic tables are ideal, but metal tables
can cause interferences and reduce the range.
*Important note for the USA and Japan: At present only the use of the CA 2413 remote antennae is permitted.
