ADN Digital Conference System | 127
Using the “Conference Manager” software
•“Push To Talk” mode:
This conference mode does not require the use of a chairperson unit.
If the maximum number of speakers who can take the floor simultaneously
(“Microphone Limit”) has not been reached, any speaker can take the floor
immediately as soon as he or she presses and holds the microphone key.
Releasing the microphone key will discontinue the speaking privileges.
•“Request” mode:
For this mode to function, a chairperson unit is required or the conference
system must be controlled via the “Conference Manager” software.
In “Request” mode, the chairperson receives requests to speak and grants
speaking privileges according to the FIFO principle (First In – First Out), i.e. the
speaker with the longest waiting time is granted speaking privileges.
Setting the max. number of speakers
who can take the floor
simultaneously
The “Microphone Limit” menu item allows you to set the max. number of speakers
who can take the floor simultaneously for all conference modes. Please note that
any connected ADN C1 chairperson unit is counted against the microphone limit
(the number of chairperson units is limited to 10 max.). If you set a higher value
(adjustment range “1” ... “10”) than the one determined by the number of con-
nected chairperson units, the system will reduce the microphone limit to the
maximum possible value (see examples in the table).
For information on how this setting affects your conference, refer to the previous
section “Adjusting the conference mode”.
Adjustment range: “1” ... “10”
Situation The maximum number of speakers who can take the floor simul-
taneously (“Microphone Limit”) has been reached.

ference unit.
Behavior In “Direct Access” mode:
The speaker has to wait until one of the current speakers passes
on or loses his or her speaking privileges. He or she is then auto-
matically granted speaking privileges.
In “Override” mode:
The speaker can take the floor immediately. The speaker with
the longest speaking time loses his or her speaking privileges.

taneously (“Microphone Limit”) has been reached.
