Safety

Prior to installing or operating products, always read the Important Safety Instructions which are available as a separate multilingual document: Important Safety Instructions (Safety_ML). These instructions are supplied together with all equipment that can be connected to the mains supply.

Safety precautions

Some of the DICENTIS Conference System products are designed to be connected to the public mains network. To avoid any risk of electric shock, all interventions must be carried out with disconnected mains supply. Interventions with the equipment switched on are authorized only when it is impossible to switch the equipment off. The operation must only be performed by qualified personnel.

Old electrical and electronic appliances

Electrical or electronic devices that are no longer serviceable must be collected separately and sent for environmentally compatible recycling (in accordance with the European Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive). To dispose of old electrical or electronic devices, you should use the return and collection systems put in place in the country concerned.

System installation overview

It is advisable to participate in the DICENTIS Conference System training before you install, configure, prepare, and operate a DICENTIS Conference System.

The DICENTIS Conference System is an IP based conference system which runs on an OMNEO compatible Ethernet network. It is used for distributing and processing audio, video and data signals. The DICENTIS Conference System can be quickly and easily configured as a daisy‑chain configuration or as a star configuration: – Daisy‑chain configuration: Uses dedicated cabling, consisting of CAT‑5e cables including

two additional power conductors (see Typical system setup, page 8).

– Star configuration: Each DICENTIS device is connected with an individual standard

CAT‑5e cable. An Ethernet switch is also required for providing Power over Ethernet (PoE).

Notice!

When Power over Ethernet is used, DICENTIS devices cannot be daisy‑chained.

Figure 3.1: Typical DICENTIS Conference System setup

A typical DICENTIS Conference System consists of:

1. System server controller (PC): – The heart of the system. It licenses functionality, configures and controls the system.

2. Client PC: – Can be used to: Manage meetings, prepare meetings and configure the system.

3. Audio Powering Switch (DCNM-APS / DCNM-APS2): – Controls the system audio, routes audio from and to the system and supplies power

to the DICENTIS devices.

4. Powering Switch (DCNM-PS / DCNM-PS2): – Is used to increase the number of DICENTIS devices connected to the system.

5. DICENTIS devices): DCNM-D, DCNM-DVT, DCNM-DSL, DCNM-DE / DCNM-MMD, DCNMMMD2: – Participants can use their DICENTIS device to contribute to a meeting. – 5.1 is a DICENTIS multimedia Device used for “system power on/off”. This device is

always connected to the powered socket of the Audio Powering Switch or Powering Switch. Note: Only one DICENTIS multimedia Device should be connected here.

– 5.2 is a DICENTIS device used via a “Power over Ethernet” (PoE) Ethernet switch.

Note: Only one DICENTIS device should be connected here.

6. System Network Cable (DCNM‑CBxxx): – Connects DICENTIS devices, the Audio Powering Switch, and one or more Powering

Switches to each other.

7. Ethernet switch: – Ethernet switch with PoE on some ports.

- Routes the system data via Ethernet.

- Provides power to the DICENTIS devices via PoE.

8. CAT‑5e Ethernet cable (minimum requirement).

9. Optional HD Conference Dome (VCD‑811-IWT) + external power supply: – Captures the image of a speaking participant.

System extension

The DICENTIS Conference System is scalable from small to medium to large. This section describes what a small, medium and large system is and what the requirements are for these systems:

A small DICENTIS Conference System (see Typical system setup, page 8) consists of: – up to 100 DICENTIS devices. – all DICENTIS devices in 1 subnet. – 1 DICENTIS Audio Powering Switch for the audio processing. – 1 Server PC which hosts the DICENTIS services.

A medium DICENTIS Conference System consists of: – up to 450 DICENTIS nodes.

Refer to table X about the node count of DICENTIS equipment.

– all DICENTIS devices in 1 subnet. – 1 DICENTIS Audio Powering Switch for the audio processing. – 1 Server PC which hosts the DICENTIS services. – 1 ARNI-Standard to increase the size of the system.

A large DICENTIS Conference System consists of: – up to 750 DICENTIS devices. – multiple subnets connected by use of a router/L3 switch.

– Each subnet can have up to 450 DICENTIS nodes.

Refer to the following table for the node count of DICENTIS equipment.

– The first subnet has:

- 1 DICENTIS Audio Powering Switch for the audio processing.

- 1 Server PC which hosts the DICENTIS services.

- 1 ARNI-Enterprise to increase the size of the system.

– All other subnets have 1 ARNI-Standard to increase the size of the system.

Note: There is no DICENTIS Audio Powering Switch in the other subnets.

An ARNI (Audio Routed Network Interface) is used to increase the number of DICENTIS devices on a single subnet and to connect multiple DICENTIS system subnets. If more than one subnet is required, two types of an ARNI must be used. – OMN-ARNIS (ARNI‑S OMNEO interface): The ARNI‑S is required for increasing the system

size above 100 DICENTIS devices. It supports up to 450 DICENTIS nodes in its subnet. It also acts as a DHCP server in its subnet.

– OMN-ARNI‑E (ARNI‑E OMNEO interface): The ARNI‑E is required for increasing the system

size above 450 DICENTIS nodes. It supports up to 450 DICENTIS nodes in its subnet. It also acts as a DHCP server in its subnet. It can connect up to 40 subnets, each with an ARNI‑S.

Defining subnets and subnet masks

A subnet is a logical, visible subdivision of an IP network. The number of DICENTIS devices that can be in the same subnet depends on the subnet mask. A standard class C subnet (255.255.255 or /24) can contain 254 IP addresses. Some DICENTIS devices have 2 IP addresses. For this reason, Bosch advises to use 255.255.252.0 (or /22) as a subnet mask. This allows you to have 1018 IP addresses. The following table lists the number of IP address per DICENTIS device in a DICENTIS Conference System.

Maximum number of DICENTIS devices in a string: – The max age timer should be set to 22 when RSTP is used for cable redundancy to

prevent a defective cable or powering switch from influencing the system.

– Each time data hops from one switch to another, the age is increased by one. This timer

can be reached or exceeded, because a daisy chain can be used to loop through the DICENTIS devices.

DICENTIS

Bosch Security Systems B.V. Hardware Installation Manual 2016.09 | V1.4 |

– This timer (or restriction) cannot be reached when there is no cable redundancy. This is

because the power limitation will be reached before the max age restriction is reached.

– The timer can be reached when:

– you use cable redundancy. – the system is incorrectly wired.

Multi subnet DICENTIS Conference System

The following figure illustrates a typical multi subnet DICENTIS Conference System with a total of 1200 DICENTIS devices. – The system is divided over four (4) subnets, where two (2) subnets having a maximum of

400 DICENTIS devices and an OMN-ARNIS are connected.

– The system has one OMN-ARNIS installed in the first subnet with a maximum of 400

DICENTIS devices connected (Note that only one OMN-ARNIS is allowed within a multiple subnet DICENTIS Conference System).

– Subnet four (4): When using multiple subnets, make sure that all cameras needed to

capture video of the seats are all connected to the same subnet.
