Setting up the conference system
Basic information on the set-up of the conference system
Regardless of the number of conference units and the room size, we recommend
the following procedure for setting up the conference system:
왘 Decide if you require wired conference unit
s or mobile wireless ones. You can
also combine wired and wireless conference units (mixed operation).
왘 Plan the number of conference units required
for your conference system. A
tot
al of 400 conference units (of which up to 150 can be wireless) can be used
in a conference system (see page 28). Always take the largest possible number
of participants as a starting point.
If you are using wired conference units:
왘 Plan if simple cabling is sufficient or if
yo
u require a redundant ring topology
(see page 28).
왘 If necessary, calculate the number of ADN PS power supplies required (a maxi-
mum of
15 ADN PS power supplies can be used in a conference system).
왘 If necessary, calculate the maximum length of
the cabling in order to ensure
that all conference units connected are supplied with sufficient voltage (see
page 28).
왘 Place the ADN CU1 central unit and, if necessary, the ADN P
S power supplies
e.g. in the electrical equipment room or in the conference room.
왘 Place the conference units at the corresponding seats.
왘 Put out a sufficient number of SDC CBL RJ45
system cables in the required
lengths (see “Components and accessories” on page 237).
If you are using wireless conference units:
왘 Place the ADN CU1 central unit e.g. in the electrical equipment room or in the
conference room. If possible, place the ADN CU1 central unit in the electrical
equipment room or in the conference room and, if possible, place the ADN-
W AM antenna module(s) directly in the conference room. The transmission
range of the antenna module is approx. 30 m.
왘 Place the operational wireless conference units at the corresponding seats.
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 net-
work 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 /.
When connecting the conference units to an ADN PS power supply, you can
mix different cable topologies (simple cabling or redundant ring topology)
as long as you ensure correct cabling and comply with the specifications
(see page 58 and page 60).
• We recommend using several antenna modules in rooms with obstacles.
• In some countries/regions (e.g. Canada), the use of wireless compo-
nents operating in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency band (channel 5 to
8) is restricted to indoor use.
