When you click the microphone-enabling button, the microphone-enabling interface displays the speech time of the conference participants in real time. When the microphone is disabled, the information of the addresser and addresser in the request list can be displayed. The chairperson unit can disable the microphone of the addresser’s delegate unit, and has the authority to agree to or reject the delegate unit’s request for speaking (except for other hosts). User information corresponding to the unit shall be set in the upper computer software of VIS-DCP2000 series conference host (refer to the operation instructions of VIS-DCP2000 series upper computer software).

Unit language and luminance setting

In the unit settings, the system provides Chinese and English display switching (if other languages are required, customized services are available) and screen luminance settings.

Unit EQ settings and unit information display

The “EQ” settings provide 8-band equalizer adjustment and +/-12dB sensitivity adjustment. The settings can be enabled or disabled and can also be reset with one key if the settings are disturbed. In Conference mode” About” settings, you can view the unit authority and status information, including the unit type, current ID number, vote authority, speaking authority, and software version.

Call service

The system provides the call service function, as well as customized one-key call services such as paper, pen, and tea. The upper computer software can receive the call information and provide comfortable and fast service for the conference.

Conference mode

When you turn on the conference processor, the initialization message of “Initializing…” will be displayed on the screen. After 3 seconds, the home screen menu will be displayed.

Home screen

The information displayed on the home screen is shown in the figure above, including unit (indicating the number of conference microphone units connected to the system from “0001” to “4000”), conference mode (Override, Voice, Open, or Apply), and the maximum number of speeches (1, 2, 4, or 6).

Microphone mode
On the home screen, you can quickly enter the microphone mode setting interface by pressing “▽”. If the conference host is connected to the PC, you can also set the conference mode through the conference software.

microphone directly via the microphone on/off button. When the number of enabled delegate units reaches the maximum, the unit that turns on the microphone earliest will be automatically turned off if the next delegate unit turns on the microphone.
Open| In the Open mode, the delegate unit turns on or off the microphone directly via the microphone on/off button. When the number of enabled delegate units reaches the maximum, the delegate unit to be turned on next will be added to the waiting list and enter the waiting state until any enabled unit turns off the microphone.
Voice| In the Voice mode, the delegate unit controls the microphone by intelligently recognizing the nearest human voice. When the microphone detects the nearest voice source, it will immediately turn on automatically. When the number of enabled delegate units reaches the maximum, the unit that turns on the microphone earliest will be automatically turned off if the next delegate unit turns on the microphone. (For special requirements, 20 microphones can be turned on freely.)
Apply| In the Apply mode, the delegate unit requests to turn on the microphone through the microphone button. In the request status, the LED of the conference unit is green. The chairperson presses the agree button or reject button to decide whether a delegate unit can turn on the microphone. When the maximum number of speech delegates is reached, the system allows the same number of delegate units to enter the waiting list.

The microphone on/off button , LED ring on the gooseneck microphone and the screen show the working status of the conference unit.

Automatic shutdown

When the microphone is in the wireless state, you can directly turn off the host power, and the microphone will automatically shut down 5 minutes after it is disconnected from the AP and has no signal.

Wired/wireless mode switching

When the wired mode is adopted by default, if the unit connection cable is faulty or the unit needs to be moved,  connect the AP to the AP port on the rear panel of the conference host. The connection cable can be removed when the unit is working, and the unit automatically connects to the AP without interrupting the speech.

Restoring factory settings for the wireless unit

In the wireless mode, open “About” settings and click the bottom-right corner of the version repeatedly.

When the following interface is displayed, choose to restore the factory settings and select a conference room.

Then, press the microphone on/off button  and wait for reconnection.

Configuring SSID and changing a conference room

When multiple wireless conference systems are used in the same building, you need to set different SSIDs for the conference systems.

Step 1 Connect the LAN port of the AP through a network cable, and connect the POE/LAN port to the AP port on the rear panel of the host.
Step 2 Open “Change adapter options” in “Network and Internet settings” on the computer. Right-click the Ethernet, choose “Properties”, and click “Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4)”. Click “Properties” and set the same IP network segment for the PC and AP. The default IP address of the AP is 192.168.2.1. For example, the network proprties of our PC are shown in the figure below.

Step 3 Open a web browser, and enter the default IP address 192.168.2.1 of the AP to get the following interface.  Enter the username (admin) and password (admin), and then click “Login”

Frst, click “Setting” under “5.8G Configuration” in the left navigation area. Set the wireless network name and make it consistent with the SSID name set by the conference processor. As shown in the figure, you can set multiple names. The default name is WIFI_CONFERENCE, which is conference room 0 by default.

For example, if you want to change the name to conference room 1, set the value and click “Submit” at the bottom of the page. Then, wait 15 seconds to upload and save the settings. (Note: There are four conference rooms for your option: 0, 1, 2, and 3. The default one is conference room 0.)

Step 4 Open “About” settings for the microphone and click the version repeatedly.

When the following page is displayed, you can select the conference room.

Conference rooms 1, 2, 3, and 4 in microphone settings correspond to the above mentioned conference rooms 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively. After selecting the conference room, press the microphone on/off button  and wait for reconnection.
