[. . . ] Make sure that the central units are adequately supported at the rear. Caution! Danger of electric shock!When rack-mounting the central units, please note that intrinsically harmless leakage currents of the individual units may accumulate, thereby exceeding the allowable limit value. Make sure that all central units are properly grounded ­ especially when the central units are not directly connected to the mains but are connected via e. g. If necessary, provide overcurrent protection. Slide the central units into the rack. Some furniture surfaces have been treated with varnish, polish or synthetics which might cause stains when they come into contact with other synthetics. Despite a thorough testing of the synthetics used by us, we cannot rule out the possibility of staining. Place the central units on an even, non-slip surface. 53 Setting up the SDC 8200 system Interconnecting the SDC 8200 system components Depending on the expansion stage of your system, you have to: interconnect the consoles (all expansion stages), interconnect the central units (expansion stage 3), connect a PC to the "master" central unit if the system is to be PC controlled. Interconnecting the consoles To interconnect the consoles via the system cables: Connect the black RJ 45 plug of the system cable to the OUT socket · of the console. Connect the grey RJ 45 plug of the system cable to the IN socket ³ of the console. ·³ Note!Connecting a cable string to the central unit After having interconnected the consoles, connect the cable strings to the central unit. To connect a cable string to the central unit: Connect the black RJ 45 plug of the system cable to one of the RJ 45 sockets labelled PORT 1 to PORT 6 of the central unit. Connect the grey RJ 45 plug of the system cable to the IN socket ³ of the first console of a cable string. Initialize the consoles as described in the section "Turning on the central unit for the first time" on page 27. Interconnecting several central units in master/slave mode (SDC 8200 CU central units only) You can only interconnect SDC 8200 CU central units. The length of the system cables between the SDC 8200 CU central units must not exceed 10 m. If you wish to interconnect several SDC 8200 CU central units, we recommend mounting the central units into a rack. To interconnect several SDC 8200 CU central units: At the first central unit, connect the black RJ 45 plug of the system cable to the MASTER OUT socket ¸. If the SLAVE IN socket ¹ of a central unit is not connected, this central unit automatically becomes the "master". Connect the grey RJ 45 plug of the system cable connected to the "master" to the SLAVE IN socket ¹ of the second central unit. If the SLAVE IN socket ¹ of a central unit is connected, this central unit automatically becomes a "slave". To connect additional "slaves", connect the SLAVE OUT socket of the first "slave" to the SLAVE IN ¹ socket of the following "slave", and so on. ¹¸ 54 Setting up the SDC 8200 system Note!The entire conference and interpretation system is configured, managed and controlled exclusively via the "master" central unit. All operating controls on the "slaves" are locked, except for the F2 key.
