Introduction
The SW 6125 Advanced Speech Time Control software module enables the use of speech timers in a DIS
DCS 6000 system in combination with the DIS SW 6000. The speech time is used to display the
remaining/elapsed speech time and apply speech time limits for the meeting participants.
The speech time can be configured for the individual delegates, for all the delegates, for groups of delegates
and for combinations of groups and individual delegates in terms of four basic speech time configurations:
• Delegates (All)
• Delegates (User Type)
• Manual
• Group
The Delegates (All) speech time configuration enables the same speech time for all the delegates. All the
delegates can for instance have 2 minutes of speech time each.
By applying the Delegates (User Type) speech time configuration it is possible to differentiate between the
delegates and assign different speech times to the delegates based on their user type.
The Manual speech time configuration allows for 9 manually activated speech timers. The Manual speech
time configuration differs from the other speech time configurations by being completely unaffected by the
microphone activity.
The Group speech time configuration makes it possible to classify the delegates in groups and assign
different speech times to the different groups. Every time a delegate in the group speaks the speech time is
deducted from the group speech time. If two delegates of the same group speak at the same time, the group
speech time is reduced by the amount of speech time corresponding to the total speech time of the two
delegates. The Group speech time configuration can be combined with individual timers as well based on
either the Delegates (All) configuration or the Delegates (User Type) configuration. If a delegate reaches the
individual speech time before the group speech time, this delegate is not allowed to speak anymore. Similar,
if a group reaches its speech time limit before the individual group members’ speech time limits have been
reached, the delegates are not allowed to speak anymore.
Common for all the speech time configurations is that the configurations can be configured to re-apply or
accumulate every time a delegate activates a microphone. Two alarms are available; one to indicate that the
speech time is running out and the other to indicate that the speech time has timed out. The timers can be
configured to keep counting even thought the speech time has been reached or the timers can be set up to
close the microphone at time out.
The speech time configurations can be changed during the meeting; either from one configuration to another
or the configuration itself. The configurations can be changed manually by loading in a new configuration or
automatically by starting conferences, setting agenda subjects etc.

Licensing
The SW 6125 Advanced Speech Time Control module is an add-on module to the SW 6000 package. The
module is under license control with only a limited amount of speech time functionality available without a
license. To obtain the full functionality a software license including the Advanced Speech Time Control
module must be used.
The basic speech time functionality includes:
• Delegates (All) speech time configurations
The full speech time functionality includes:
• Delegates (All) speech time configurations
• Delegates (User Type) speech time configurations
• Manual speech time configurations
• Group speech time configurations

Quick Guide
Please notice that the Advanced Speech Time Control User Manual presupposes comprehensive knowledge
of the basic operations of a standard SW 6000 system. All functionality not directly related to the Advanced
Speech Time Control functionality is only briefly explained. Please refer to the SW 6000 (CAA, CUA, CDA
and ECA) User Manuals for more information on the basic SW 6000 functionality.
How to get started with the Advanced Speech Time Control module in a few steps:
•
Step 1: Configure the required number of speech time configurations in the
CAA/Setup/Configurations/Speech Time Configuration menu.
(for meetings without a conference)
•
Step 2: Configure the Delegate List Configuration to display delegate/group speech time on the CUA
in the CAA/Setup/Configurations/Delegate List Configuration menu.
•
Step 3: Configure the CDA Configuration to display delegate/group speech time on the CDA in the
CAA/Setup/Configurations/CDA Configuration menu.
•
Step 4: Load the required speech time configuration in the CUA/Conference or Microphones menu.
• Step 5: Reset the active speech time in the CUA/Conference or Microphones menu.
• Step 6: Change the active speech time in the Open Set Time. window in the CUA/Microphones
menu.
• Step 7: Load a new speech time configuration in the CUA/Conference or Microphones menu.
(for meetings with a conference)
•
Step 2: Assign a speech time configuration to a conference in the CAA/Conference menu.
•
Step 3: Assign a speech time configuration to the agenda subjects in the CAA/Conference menu.
•
Step 4: Configure the Delegate List Configuration to display delegate/group speech time on the CUA
in the CAA/Setup/Configurations/Delegate List Configuration menu.
•
Step 5: Configure the CDA Configuration to display delegate/group speech time on the CDA in the
CAA/Setup/Configurations/CDA Configuration menu.
•
Step 6: Start the conference and set the first subject on the agenda in the CUA.
•
Step 7: Reset the active speech time in the CUA/Conference or Microphones menu.
•
Step 8: Change the active speech time in the Open Set Time. window in the CUA/Microphones
menu.
•
Step 9: Load a new speech time configuration in the CUA/Conference or Microphones menu.
•
Step 10: Set a new subject on the agenda.
To understand the details of the Advanced Speech Time Control module, please follow the instructions in the
next sections. The manual is organised into sections in that order the functionality should be used.

CAA
The first steps of setting up the advanced speech time control are done in the CAA. Overall, there are five
steps to consider. Depending on the actual system setup, some steps may be left out.
The first step is to configure the required speech time configurations according to what is needed during the
meeting. Four basic speech time configurations are available for creating as many speech time configurations
as required:
• Delegates (All)
• Delegates (User Type)
• Manual
• Group
The second step is to assign an initial speech time configuration to a conference in case the speech time
configuration is used in combination with a conference.
The third step is to assign individual speech time configurations to the individual agenda subjects in case the
speech time configuration is used in combination with a conference and an agenda.
The fourth step is to adjust the delegate list columns to display the delegate and group speech time fields on
the delegate lists in the CUA if required.
And finally, the fifth step is to adjust the CDA to display the delegate and group speech time fields on the
delegate lists on the CDA if required.
Please consult the following sections for the details on these five steps.
