Connecting DICENTIS devices
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 10 ).
– 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).
i
Notice!
When Power over Ethernet is used, DICENTIS devices cannot be daisy‑chained.
The star configuration makes use of connectors underneath the devices, ensuring for a neat,
tidy system installation, especially advantageous for TV coverage.
To connect the system network cables to the DICENTIS devices (refer to the following figure):
1. Insert the system network cable/connector (2).
2. Lead the system network cable through the cable guides (3).
Installing DICENTIS devices
The DICENTIS devices can be free-standing or fixed in more permanent installations using
mounting screws.
1. The distance between the centres of the screw inserts (1) on the bottom is 100mm.
2. Use M4 type of screws with a device screw insert length of maximum 5mm when
attaching the device to the bottom of the recess (1).
