[. . . ] If you click the "On" option button, the software tries to communicate with the SDC 8000 CU central unit on startup. The "On" option button must be active for the PC control of the conference system to function correctly!If you click the "Off" option button, you cannot control your conference system via the software!If you would like to create a configuration even though no consoles are connected, the "Off" option allows you to avoid the constant display of the "No communication" dialog box. Configuring the COM port To configure the COM port of the PC for communication with the central unit: In the "COM port" box on the "2" tab, click the correct COM port. This COM port must correspond to the serial RS 232 interface of the PC to which the SDC 8000 central unit is connected. If you do not know the correct COM port, it is necessary to try out the different options one after the other. Note: Most desktop PCs have only one COM port ("COM1") or two ("COM1" and "COM2"). The COM ports of your PC are listed under "Ports (COM & LPT)" in the Windows Device Manager. However, in contrast to standard desktop PCs, on a number of laptops the infrared interface (IrDa) and not the serial RS 232 interface is preconfigured as "COM1". In such a PC, the serial RS 232 interface corresponds to "COM2". Restart the program. 38 Configuring the conference system Saving the conference options To save the selected options: Click the "Save and Exit" button. The "Options" window closes and all selected options become active when the program is restarted. To reject the selected options and keep the previous options: Click the "Cancel an Exit" button. The "Options" window closes and all previous options are kept. 39 Managing delegate data Managing delegate data This chapter provides information on how to enter and use delegate data. Entering delegate data You can manually enter delegate data or import data from a file. Note: If you initialize the conference consoles after you created a delegate database, the microphone numbers are fixedly assigned to the delegate names. Therefore, the delegates always have to use the same conference consoles in order to ensure that the correct name is displayed in the delegate list on the left-hand side of the "Delegates" window!If you use chip cards, the microphone numbers are not fixedly assigned to the delegate names. Instead, the delegate names stored on the chip cards are automatically displayed in the delegate list. Creating or opening a delegate database To create a delegate database: From the "Delegates" menu, choose "Administration". The "Delegates" window opens. To create a new delegate database: From the "File" menu, choose "New". Specify the folder and name of the delegate database to be created and click the "OK" button.
