15.1. Introduction
On Confidea Access Point Plus (WCAP+) , auxiliary
balanced analog input and output are available. So
for basic systems , no additional central equipment is
needed to connect the system to an external public
address system or to add an external signal to the
conference system.
Additionally it is possible to connect the access point
to a video conferencing system using the distance
conferencing setting

For both auxiliary input and output , status can be set
to on or off and volume can be adjusted.
When WCAP+ is used in Stand Alone mode , there
are also “N-1” and “External processing” options
available .
15.2.1. Distance conferencing
Distance conferencing (= N-1) option adds external
signal , via aux in , to the local floor signal and sends
the local floor signal , via aux out , to the remote
party.
15.2.2. External Processing
Activating the “external processing” option allows to
add external signal processing equipment or a mixing
board.
15.3. Selecting auxiliary
input/output settings
When a WCAP+ is used , “conference management”
menu contains an additional “auxiliary” sub tab as
shown below.
The distance conferencing and external processing
options are only available in stand alone mode , and
are disabled in coupled mode . In coupled mode ,
distance conferencing and external processing
remain possible via Confidea CU or CPU5500.
