DICENTIS Wireless Conference System with redundant WAP
The system can be configured with a redundant DCNM‑WAP provided the following conditions
are met. The procedure for subscribing a redundant DCNM‑WAP is described in the
Configuration manual.
– Preferably both WAPs are connected to an Ethernet network switch with a DCN
multimedia System Network Cable or a standard network cable, and the Ethernet
network switch is connected to a laptop or PC.
Note: The use of an Ethernet network switch and cabling are preferred during the
subscription process, because this makes it easier to access and subscribe the WAPs.
When subscription of the secondary WAP is complete, the Ethernet network switch and
cabling can be removed if it is no longer required.
– The WAPs are correctly positioned (there should be a minimum distance of one meter
and a maximum distance of three meters between the two WAPs).
– The WAPs are powered up and the Wireless Conference System is operational.
– Both WAPs have been correctly configured in the Installation Wizard and have unique
names for:
– Network name (SSID)
– WPA2 key
– Hostname
– Both WAPs are set to the Standalone (factory default).
– The applicable licenses are available for the primary WAP and the secondary WAP (the
redundant WAP requires its own set of licenses for features such as voting and dual-use
at seat to continue working if the primary WAP fails).
– If recording/playback and PA are required, make sure audio connectors are connected to
the balanced In/Out connectors of both the primary and secondary WAP.
– If access to the API (for showing voting results) and web browser settings is required,
make sure Ethernet cables are connected to both the primary and secondary WAP.

3.1 Extended system requirements
The following requirements are valid if you want to extend your system with a network switch
or cameras:
Ethernet network switch
The DICENTIS Wireless Conference System uses the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) to
synchronize network clocks. In a network, there can only be one PTP master. Devices using
PTP negotiate automatically which one becomes the master. So the DCNM-WAP, as a PTP
slave, can be connected to PTP master via an Ethernet switch. It is known that switches with
an active green-mode (power saving) might delay the PTP synchronization, which results in
audio mutes of the wireless devices.
Video switch
A video switch is required when more than one camera is used. The following switches are
supported:
– tvONE CORIOmaster mini C3-510
– Kramer MV-6 3G HD-SDI Multiviewer
DHCP server
A DHCP server is needed for both the Wireless Access Point and the cameras.
Cameras
The following cameras are supported:
– Bosch HD Conference Dome (Refer to product related information on:
www.boschsecurity.com > Country of your choice > Conference Systems > DICENTIS
Wireless Conference System > HD cameras and accessories)
– Onvif Profile-S compatible cameras, tested with Bosch IP4000 and IP5000 and Lumens
VC-A50P.
– Support for Sony IP cameras via CGI commands for 300/360 series: Sony
SRG-300SE/301SE and SRG-360SHE.
– Support for Panasonic IP cameras via CGI protocol (HD Integrated Camera Interface
Specifications 1.06): AW-HE40, AW-HE50, AW-HE60, AW-HE120, AW-HE130, and AW-UE70.

4 Planning
Use the guidelines in this section to plan the design and installation of your DICENTIS Wireless
Conference System.
4.1 Unpacking
This equipment should be unpacked and handled with care. If an item appears to be damaged,
notify the shipper immediately. If any items are missing, notify your Bosch representative.
The original packaging is the safest container in which to transport products and can be used
to return products for service if necessary.
4.2 System design planning
This section will advise you on how to plan the installation and management of your system,
including the optimal positioning of your Wireless Access Point, to ensure a seamless
operation of all devices.
4.2.1 Planning and management
Introduction
The DICENTIS system uses the Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) technology to select the
best possible Wi-Fi channel. The number of Wi-Fi channels depend on the country where the
system is used. The channels are defined automatically according to the country selected in
the setup-wizard.
The system uses 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi channels.
The 5GHz band consists of several frequency bands: U-NII-1, U-NII-2, U-NII-3 and ISM.
Channels in the U-NII-1, U-NII-3 and ISM bands are also called non-DFS channels, while
channels in the U-NII-2 band are called DFS channels. The use of DFS channels needs special
care, since these channels can be used by radar systems such as weather radar systems.
Before a DFS channel can be used, the wireless system needs to listen to this channel for at
least 60 seconds. This is to ensure that the channel is not used by any radar signal.
When the DFS channel is free, it can be used by the wireless system.
Bosch Security Systems B.V. Installation Manual 2019.02 | V2.3 |
14 en | Planning DICENTIS
From this moment onwards the wireless system needs to monitor this selected DFS channel
to ensure that it is not used by a radar system. If a radar system is detected, the wireless
system is not allowed to use this channel anymore and needs to move to another channel.
Often this new channel is a non-DFS channel, since switching to another DFS channel requires
the 60 seconds listening period before it can be used.
Frequency planning should be used when the DICENTIS Wireless Conference System is used
in an area where other WiFi systems are active.
1. There should be at least 2 (more is better) free Wi-Fi channels available.
One of the channels must be of the following type:
– a non-overlapping 2.4GHz channel. Non-overlapping means the channel itself is free
and unused and the 2 adjacent side channels are also free and unused:
– a non-DFS channel from the 5GHz U-NII-1 band (channel 36, 40, 44, 48):
1. There are several tools available that allow you to check the current channel usage (e.g.
Acrylic Wi-Fi for Windows, NetSpot for MacOS, Wifi Analyser for Android). However, when
using these tools:
– Be aware that they only provide a snapshot for that moment and the situation can
change over time.
– The scan is only valid for that specific location, so check multiple positions in the
meeting room.
– Only the network presence is shown, not the data intensity in the channels.
– Check if there are WiFi networks that belong to the venue.
2. When other WiFi devices (such as smartphones or tablets) try to connect to the DICENTIS
Wireless Conference System they can interfere with the proper operation of the
DICENTIS system. Therefore it is strongly recommended to provide an additional 3rd party
WiFi access point for these WiFi devices to connect to. Make sure that this additional
access point has been included in the WiFi frequency planning, so it is does not use the
same WiFi channels as the Wireless Conference System.
2019.02 | V2.3 | Installation Manual Bosch Security Systems B.V.
DICENTIS Planning | en 15
3. Try to achieve the situation mentioned above with a non-overlapping channel in 2.4GHz
or a non-DFS channel in 5GHz:
– This has to be done together with the IT partner of the venue.
– There are also WiFi systems in the market that can check on the presence of other
networks and avoid the channels on which these are present.
These type of features are brand specific implementations and are not defined in any
standard. Check with the IT partner if the WiFi system has such capabilities when channel
management is not an option.
1. The maximum distance between the DCNM‑WAP and the Wireless Devices can be
reduced by RF absorbance of signal radiation of certain building materials, e.g. concrete
and/or metal, or by reflection of the wireless signal by materials like metal walls and
mirrors.
2. When a control device is connected wirelessly to the DICENTIS system, the maximum
number of connected Wireless Devices must be reduced. With 1 wireless control device,
119 Wireless Devices can be used. Up to 3 wireless control devices can be used,
controlling 117 Wireless Devices. To maintain the maximum number of 120 Wireless
Devices, use a wired connection to the DCNM‑WAP.
DICENTIS and the use of the REST API:
– It is recommended not to use wireless connectivity for 3rd party REST API usage.
– REST API data traffic will be distributed on the same channel as the audio.
– It is preferable to use the long-polling method. Do not use the normal polling method
as this generates a lot of traffic, which might decrease the performance of the
wireless connection.
4.2.2 Coverage area
All Wireless Devices need to be in the Wi-Fi coverage area of the DCNM‑WAP.
– For a maximum Wi-Fi coverage area, the DCNM‑WAP should be placed on a central
location in the room.
– The DCNM‑WAP has a typical Wi-Fi coverage distance of 30m.
Notice!
30 meters is the maximum distance if there is a direct line of sight.
Obstacles between the Wireless Access Point and the devices will reduce this distance.
