Putting the conference system into operation
To optionally combine the antenna module with wired conference units (hybrid
operation), connect the antenna module just like a wired conference unit:
왘 Use a system cable to connect the o
utput socket of the ADN-W AM
antenna module to the IN socket of an ADN D1/ADN C1 wired conference
unit.
Or:
왘 Use a system cable to connect the OUT socket of an ADN D1/ADN C1 wired
c
onference unit to the input socket of the ADN-W AM antenna module.
Cabling errors
If the cabling is wrong, the system may perhap
s function, but operational reliability
is compromised and monitoring cannot be carried out reliably. Therefore, when set-
ting up a wireless conference system, avoid the following severe cabling errors:
Input socket and output socket on
the ADN-W AM antenna module
have been accidentally swapped

When connecting to the ADN CU1 central unit, the
input socket and the output socket of the
ADN-W AM antenna module have been accidentally
swapped.
The warning triangle , the cable fault icon and
the “Processing ...” bar appear on the display panel of
the ADN

U1 central unit (see page 105).
The antenna module is not operational.
To eliminate the error:
왘 Connect the antenna module correctly (see
pa
ge 66).
