5 General Guidelines

5.1 Installation

The CU 6105 is suitable for either table-top or 19inch rack-mounted use. Four feet (for table top use) and two mounting brackets (for rack mounting) are supplied.

When installing in a 19” rack the supplied 19” brackets shall be fixed to the front side of the CU 6105 Central Unit by unscrewing the crews holding the top and button cover and then fix the brackets using the same screws.

The unit has a low noise built-in fan taking air in at the left side of the unit and blowing the hot air out at the right side. That allows units in 19” racks to be

stacked close with other units without extra room for cooling air between them.

Please check that other units in the rack will allow this.

Connect the CU 6105 to the various DCS 6000 units using CAT5e cabling (F/UTP or U/FTP) screened cables following the guidelines in the next chapter.

The operation and installation of the various DCS 6000 units is found in the User Manuals for the specific units.

5.2 Cabling guidelines

The Conference Units are connected to the CU 6105 Central Unit using Cat5e F/UTP or U/FTP screened cables and the following guidelines have to be observed:

• The Conference units are daisy chain connected

to the central unit

• The number of units, which can be connected to

CU 6105, depends on length of the feeding cable and the length of the cable between each unit.

If the feeding cables are short and the cables between the units are short, more units can be connected than if the feeding cable is long and/or the cables are long between the units.

• Maximum cable length in one chain is 200 m

(before inserting RP 6004 Repeater in a chain). This includes interconnection cables between the units.

• Maximum cable length in one chain when using

RP 6004 Repeaters and Cat5e cables is 680 m.

• Cables must be AWG24 if the number of units in

the tables in section ‘5.3

Max. number of units to

be connected’ is to be used. AWG26 cables will not

allow as many units. DIS cables series EC 6001-xx are all AWG 24.

• It is desirable that the square of the feeding

cables are as big as possible to minimize the voltage drop in the cables. Cat5e cables are delivered in various gauges:

The following table shows the Diameter/square for various AWG types:

Type

Diameter

0.53 mm

0.22 mm2

AWG26

0.42 mm

0.14 mm2

Although the DCS-LAN chain output connectors have a 125 W supply, this 125 W power is not all available with long cables, as there will be a power drop in the

DIS User Manual CU 6105

User Manual CU 6105.docx

feeding cable from the CU 6105 Central Unit to the units connected.

Please consult the next sections for details about the number of units, which can be connected depending on the cable length.

5.3 Max. number of units to be connected

The following tables shows the maximum number of units, which can be connected to a CU 6105 Central Unit.

In the tables the ‘Feeding Cable’ is defined as the cable between the CU 6105 and the first Conference Unit and the ‘Interconnecting Cable is defined as the cable connecting two conference units.

5.3.1 Connection using only one DCS-LAN chain

The following tables show the maximum number of units, which can be connected to one DCS-LAN chain output when only one DCS-LAN chain is in use.

6.6 Operation Modes

6.6.1 Operation Mode

The “Operation Mode” determines the behavior of the microphone system.

• Auto (or Automatic) mode allows for the

Conference units to be switched on immediately upon activating the ‘Speak’ button.

This is indicated by a red light in the ‘Speak’ lamp and in the light ring in the gooseneck microphone. Activating the ‘Speak’ button again will turn the microphone off

A Chairman Unit can be considered as is always being in Auto or VOX mode.

• Manual mode features a request list, where

‘Delegates’ are inserted in a queue upon activating the ‘Speak’ button. This is confirmed by a steady green light in the ‘Request’ indication in the delegate unit. It is possible to cancel the request by activating the button again.

The delegate unit can only be switched ‘On’ using the CU 6105 browser interface on a PC/iPad or from SW 6000 or from a control system like AMX ® or Crestron ®. This will be indicated by red light in the ‘Speak’ lamp in the Conference unit. At this point the delegate can switch off the microphone by activating the ‘Speak’ button.

Note: Manual mode is normally never selected/used on CU 6105 if a Browser, AMX ®, Crestron ® or other “Control Facility” is not connected.

• FIFO is an automated mode. The Conference unit

functions in the same way as in ‘automatic’ mode as long as the number of turned on delegate units is less or equal to the selected maximum speakers.

When the max. number is reached, the next delegates activating their ‘Speak’ button will be placed in the request queue until the maximum requests is reached. The green ‘Request’ lamp in the delegate unit in top of the queue will flash slowly indicating that this unit is the next to be switched ‘On’

The green ‘Request’ lamp in the other delegate unit in the queue will light up steadily.

When one of the units speaking is switched ‘Off’, the first delegate unit in the queue is automatically switched ‘On’.

This mode will normally be used with only 1 as ‘Max delegate speakers’. Chairman units will always be turned on directly if the value set for ‘Max Total Speakers’ is not reached.

• VOX, voice activation mode allows for the

Conference units to be switched on automatically when a delegate is speaking in the microphone or by activating the ‘Speak’ button.

This is indicated by a red light in the ‘Speak’ lamp in the Conference unit. Activating the microphone ‘Speak’ button again will turn the microphone off.

When a delegate stops speaking the microphone turns off automatically after a short period. This period is controlled by the ‘Release Time’ setting (see section ‘6.5 Web Browser Setup and Control

’),

where default is 4 seconds.

The microphone can also be turned off by activating the ‘Speak’ button.

A Chairman Unit can be considered as always being in Auto or VOX mode

6.6.2 Delegate Interrupt Mode

The “Delegate Interrupt” setting determines the behavior of the delegate Conference units.

• None When “None” is selected and the number of

open Delegate units has reached the number specified in the setting “Max. Delegate Speakers” no more delegate microphone can be opened. Pressing the microphone buttons will not turn on the microphone but 3 flashes in the green LED will indicate, that the maximum number has been reached.

It is similar for Chairman units if the number of open units (Chairman and Delegate) has reached the number specified in the setting “Max. Total Speakers”.

DIS User Manual

User Manual CU 6105.docx

• Lower If however “Lower” is selected a chairman

will interrupt (switch off) the first switched on delegate unit if the number of open units (Chairman and Delegate) has reached the number specified in the setting “Max. Total Speakers”.

• Lower+Same If “Lower+Same” is selected a

delegate unit will interrupt (switch off) the first switched on delegate unit if the number of delegate units has reached the number specified in the setting “Max. Delegate Speakers”.

Similar a chairman will interrupt (switch off) the first switched ON delegate unit if the number of open units (Chairman and Delegate) has reached the number specified in the setting “Max. Total Speakers”, and if no delegate unit is switched ON

the first switched ON Chairman unit will be switched OFF.

6.7 Ambient Microphone

The purpose of an ambient noise microphone is to provide sound from a meeting room/conference hall, when there is no delegate/chairman using their microphones.

Transmission of ambient noise rather than transmitting no sound at all is a desirable feature from listeners attending the meeting via headphones. The ambient noise indicates to the listeners, that there is no speaking activity going on, and this information is very nice to have, when interpreters are doing interpretation, and the speaker stops speaking.

10 External Control Protocol

The DCS 6000 Digital Conference System features an Ethernet connection with the purpose of providing an interface for controlling and monitoring of the system. By setting up a simple (raw) TCP/IP socket connection to the CU 6105 Central Unit control options are available.

This document describes the TCP/IP raw socket protocol for communicating with the DCS 6000 Conference System. This protocol provides a short set of commands, enabling a third part control application to monitor and/or control system status of a DCS 6000 Conference System.

Some examples of functionally available using the protocol:

• Setting a microphone in speak or in request

• Retrieving a list of seats available in the

system.

This interface supports applications developed by customers, so the protocol is deliberately kept simple to avoid complexity. The External Control protocol offers a mean for supplementing the control functionality available through the DCS 6000 Browser interface and the CU 6105 interactive display, however some commands and settings available in the browser interface and on the CU 6105 interactive display are not available using the ‘External Control Protocol’

Customer applications can include but are not limited to AMX ® or Crestron ® room control systems, PC or micro controller based applications e.g. for button mimics and camera control applications.

10.1 General Protocol behavior

10.1.1 TCP/IP socket connection

A TCP/IP socket connection to the CU 6105 must be established for the External Control protocol to become available. Configuration of the CU 6105 connection to the Ethernet must be defined from the CU interactive front plate control/Browser interface, and an IP address for the CU 6105 must be assigned in the network.

Choose either a static IP address or an IP address assigned through DHCP. It is convenient to ensure, that the CU 6105 ends up with the same IP address at each start up.

Knowing the IP address, the only additional information required for setting up a TCP/IP connection is the Port Number:

Port Number = 3142

Example: Test connection to CU via Putty:

If the CU 6105 is assigned IP address 192.168.1.100, the external application must connect the TCP/IP socket to the address

192.168.1.100:3142.

Knowing the IP address of the CU 6105 a connection can be set up using a simple terminal program like Putty ®.

1. Download at www.putty.org

2. Start Putty.

3. Insert IP address and Port Number.

4. Select ‘Raw’ for the Connection Type.

5. Press ‘Open’ to establish connection to the CU. Control is now possible.

6. Give command ‘help’ to see a list of commands available.

DIS User Manual

User Manual CU 6105.docx

10.1.2 Command structure (from External Control to CU 6105)

To control the CU an External Control sends commands to CU 6105 included in command lines. Commands lines are build up in a very simple manner:

Command lines are terminated by Carriage Return <CR> or Line Feed <LF> or both. In order to be able to communicate with Windows systems, Linux systems or other systems, the CU understands both types of command line terminations.

Notice also, there is a space between the command and data. If a command does not carry any data, space is possible but not required.

The CU is not sensitive to upper/lower case.

Example:

mic_on 212<CR>

Turn on microphone a seat 212. Command = 'mic_on', data = '212'. The ‘mic_on’ command carries a seat number as data.

10.1.3 Command structure (from CU 6105 t o Ext er nal Cont r ol)

Command lines out of the CU 6105 are just as simple:

Again, to satisfy most systems, the CU terminates command lines by including both <CR> and <LF>.

<SP> Space - 0x20 = 32

<CR> Carriage return - 0x0D = 13

<LF> Line Feed - 0x0A = 10

<SP> Space - 0x20 = 32

<CR> Carriage return - 0x0D = 13

<LF> Line Feed - 0x0A = 10

DIS User Manual

User Manual CU 6105.docx

10.1.4 Seat numbering

Conference units are identified by means of a seat numbers. Each Conference unit is assigned a seat number. This is done automatically for all Conference units, when they are connected to the CU 6105. The CU 6105 Browser interface is used to change seat numbering.

Seat numbers must be in the range from 1 to 65535.

10.1.5 CU 6105 reply to commands

Generally, a command from external application is replied to by the CU. But, reply to a command is produced only if actions are taken by the CU due to the command.

Example: When a ‘mic_on’ command results in a microphone being turned on, the CU replies with a ‘mic_on’ command. On the other hand, if a 'mic_on' command does not lead to turning on a microphone, the CU does not produce any reply.

There can be several reasons for the CU to reject turning on a microphone:

-The microphone is already turned on

-The microphone is no longer connected to the system.

-Speak list is already full (‘max_speakers’), and delegate interrupt is not ‘on’.

10.1.6 Retrieving system status

The CU supports streaming of status. When an External Control issues a ‘mic_status’ or ‘audio_status’ command, the CU responds by sending the microphone system status. The same goes for ‘audio status’. Hereby, it is possible for an External Control to synchronize with the CU status.

10.2 Microphone Control

10.2.1 Commands from External Control to CU 6105

10.2.1.1 Turn on microphone
