2 Introduction
This manual describes how to design a DCS 6000
Conference system using the SW 6000 Software
Packages, how to install the SW 6000 Software
Packages and how to setup the system for
running the first time.
This document does however not describe the
use of the applications like i.e. the CUA and CAA
in details. Please consult the relevant manuals
for this.
2.1 Minimum Requirements
The minimum requirements for a PC running an
application are:
• Min. Pentium 1.5GHz
• Min. 2 GB RAM
• Min. 10GB HD
• CD-ROM drive
• USB port if CP 6001 Chip Card
Programmer is to be used
• TCP/IP network connection
• VGA screen. Please refer to the User
Manuals for the SW 6000 applications for
information on minimum resolution.
2.2 Compatibility
*Please notice that cloned operating systems are not considered a
standard installation. Clones may cause problems with duplicate
SIDs causing the MSDTC to fail. Clones should therefore be used
with caution and only by experienced IT people.
2.4 SW 6000 CD-ROM & Website
The SW 6000 Software, Prerequisites and User
Manuals are available on www.dis.cc
in as a Partner.

2.5 User Manuals
The use of the applications is found in the
following manuals:
• User manual CAA Conference
Administration Application
• User manual CUA Conference User
Application
• User manual CDA Conference Display
Application
• User manual ECU External Control
Application
The SW 6000 Software version 6.2.xx is only
compatible with DCS 6000 Firmware Release
7.5.0 and higher.
If the DCS 6000 system is an earlier release, an
upgrade of the system is needed. Please consult
your DIS Partner for information about updating
your system.
2.3 Supported Operating
Systems
SW 6000 Software v6.2 support standard
installations
• Windows 7 (32 bit and 64 bit)
• Windows Server 2008,, 2008 R2 and
• WIN 8.1 x86
• WIN 8.1 x64

This design is used, where no
technician is needed and
where the control and
administration can be done
from the PC placed in the
‘Meeting Room’.
3 System design
Prior to installing the software the system has to
be designed, as the SW 6000 Software Package
gives options for all in-between a small
installation with one PC and a large installation
with more than 1000 PCs.
Applications 3.1.1
The SW 6000 Software Packages consists of 4
main applications
• CUA - Conference User Application
• CAA - Conference Administrator
Application
• CDA – Conference Display Application
• ECA - External Control Application
and the interface application for establishing the
connection to the CU 6005/6011/6105/6110:
•CUI – CU Interface
An application for backing up data and restore
data is also part of the package:
• SW6000 Backup Utility
The conference data (Delegate names,
Conference names etc.) is stored in one of the
following database installations:
• SQL - Microsoft SQL 2005 server
Express
• SQL - Microsoft SQL 2008 server,
Enterprise Edition or Standard
Edition
The SQL - Microsoft SQL 2008 server Express is
delivered as part of the SW 6000 package
3.2 Installation design
The CDA, CUI, CUA, CAA and ECA applications
can all be installed on the same PC or all on
separate PCs, but this is normal procedure.
For performance reason the CUI should be
installed at the same PC/Server as the
database.
Before installing the applications the design of
the system has to be decided.
The following schematics are showing various
system designs with SW 6000 applications. The
abbreviations shown above are used in the
schematics:

6 Getting started
The system has now been installed successfully.
The following sections describe the necessary
steps to get started. However please refer to the
CAA User Manual, the CUA User Manual and CDA
User Manual for a throughout description of how
to use the SW 6000 System.
6.1 Steps
1. Connect the CU 6005 or CU6011 Central
Unit to the PC, where the CUI is installed,
with a RS232 cable or connect with
TCP/IP if CU 6105 or CU 6110 are used.
2. Turn on the CU with all units (Delegate
Units, Chairman Units, AO units etc.)
connected.
3. Start the CU Interface Application (CUI).
If the CUI version is not compatible with
the database you will be advised to start
the CAA to automatically update the
database. You will then have to restart
the CUI.
When the CUI Application starts to
communicate with the CU it will receive
information for all units connected to the
CU. The CUI Application will then create
one seat in the Seat assignment table for
each Chairman Unit and Delegate Unit,
numbering the seats, starting at one and
counting upwards.
Hint: To make is easier later to assign
delegates to seats and to make Mimic
diagrams the seats should be
renumbered to give a more logical order.
Figure 6.1-A Generate Connection String
4. Start the Conference Administration
Application (CAA). If needed the
Database will be upgraded automatically.
5. Select the
“Setup/Equipment/Conference Units”.
Assign computer names for each of the
seats where there is a PC on the network
that will run the Conference User
Application (CUA).
6. Select the Mimic screen from the
“Setup/Configuration/Mimic
Configuration” and create a new Mimic
diagram.
Creating a Mimic diagram requires the
user to import a bitmap showing the
room or hall as a background image and
then to import all seats onto the Mimic
diagram and position the coloured dots
representing a microphone or seat.
7. Select the User Type screen from the
“Setup/User Type” and create additional
user types (e.g. Vice Chairman) to be
used when creating the list of Delegates
and to be used as defaults for the seats
when no one is logged in. The user types
that are created during installation can
either be modified or deleted (the
Chairman and Delegate user type can be
modified but not deleted).
The User Type determines individual
microphone settings, screens, buttons
and functions that will be available when
a user is logging into the CUA.

7.5 License file
A licence file is needed for running the SW 6000
Software. Even if it might be possible to run
functionality and/or application which are not
licensed for, it is illegal in accordance with the
License Conditions.
A licence file includes the serial number of the
CU 6005, CU 6010, CU 6011, CU 6195 or CU 6110
and is delivered from DIS in a zipped format like
this example ‘SW6000 license v5.5 CU
xxx.xxx.xxx 2012-05-08.zip’, where xxx.xxx.xxx is
the serial number of the CU for which the licence
file is created.
Before the license file can be used it must be unzipped. The name of the un-zipped license file is
SW6000 License.xml and must not be changed.
Installation Manual SW 6000 ver 6.2.docx
Note: The licence file “SW6000 License.xml” is located in the
CUI execute directory (C:\Program Files\ DIS\CU Interface
Application).
If no license file is found, the license file is invalid
or the license is expired this will be displayed
using a message box on the PC running the CUI
interface and a system message will also be sent
to CUA computers that have system message
monitoring capabilities.
Important: Connection to the CU is needed for the license to
be checked and hence the operation of said SW. If the CU is
not connected and therefore the licence file is not checked the
CAA can be started and access the Database info such as the
seat table but all of the licensed features would be greyed out
and unavailable.

10 Descriptions of the more technical parts
10.1 Database
To use the SW 6000 applications you need a
database. The database contains all data used by
the application such as delegate names,
microphone information etc. etc.
When installing the SW 6000 software a
database will be created with initial data.
The ‘SQL Database Engine’ hosts all databases.
These SQL servers can host the database for SW
6000:
Microsoft SQL 2000 server, Enterprise
Edition or Standard Edition
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express
Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express
Microsoft SQL Server 2008
If you are planning to use ‘Microsoft SQL Server
2008’ it must be preinstalled on the computer
before you install SW 6000. If you are planning
to use ‘Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express’ you
can use the set-up on SW 6000 CD-ROM.
‘Microsoft SQL Server 2008’ is not part of the
SW 6000 software package.
The data in the database is not secured in any
way. If you want to secure your data, you must
contact your database administrator and change
the connect strings used by the applications
accordingly. For a description of connects strings
see Connect string.
Connect string for the SQL 10.2.1
Server
For the SQL server the value of the connect
string will typically have a value similar to the
following: -
The ‘Provider’ determines how the application
should access the database. In this case OLEDB is
used – which is installed when installing MDAC
2.6.
The ‘Initial Catalog’ is the name of the database
to connect to; this will most likely be SW6000-1.
The ‘Data Source’ will be the name of the
computer on which the SQL server is running.
The ‘uid’ is the user id to be used by the
application when connecting to the database.
This will most likely be the default system
administrator name ‘sa’ but it depends on how
the SQL Server is installed. If you add security to
the SQL Server you might change this to more
appropriate value, and for example add a
password to the Connect string. If you do please
note that this password will be public to anyone
with access to the registry on the clientmachines.
10.2 Connect string
When the applications are connecting to the
databases to get access to data they use a
‘connect string’. This connect string identifies
which database should be used by the
application and how.
For the SW 6000 the connect string is located in
registry key:
