1. I NTRODUCTION
The task of computer based controlling program CS5 ConferControl is to control the
conference system type CS5 produced by AKG Acoustics.
The purpose of this program is to control in a comprehensive manner the conference
system hich provides the main functional possibilities listed belo :
• s itching on and off the microphones of the delegate units in each operation mode
• conducting different types of voting
• using the chip card for personal identification
• displaying the current status of the conference system on the screen
• displaying the conference related data and parameters on the screen (name, date and time
of conference, data of participants, time and duration of speech, type and result of voting,
etc.)
• storing all data and parameters of the held conferences in the database of PC hich may
be sent to external peripheries as ell (printer, display, etc.).
2. S YSTEM REQUIREMENTS
For running the CS5 ConferControl program is needed a Personal Computer ith
Microsoft© Windo s© XP (Service Pack 2) operation system. The PC needed for the optimal
running of the program has to have at least the follo ing parameters: processor frequency –
1600 MHz, 512 MB RAM, 150 MB free space on the hard disk for installing the program and
an additional 50 MB is needed for storing the conferences held.
The minimum screen resolution needed for displaying the controlling program is
1024x768, hile the recommended optimal resolution is 1280x1024.
The computer has to have either a free «SERIAL» or a free «USB» port for connection
of the po er supply unit to the similar type of connectors. CS5 ConferControl is compatible
ith Microsoft© Windo s© Vista (32/64 bit) operation system as ell, the necessary system
requirements can be found in description of the given operation system.
A en ion! It is indispensable to have a user level kno ledge of Microsoft© Windo s©
XP or Microsoft© Windo s© Vista for using this program.
Attention! Under Microsoft© Windows© Vista we recommend to turn off the UAC
(User Access Control) for avoiding the unexpected error which may occur.

3. I NSTALLATION
The CS5 ConferControl controlling program can be also handed over to the user on a
CD disk.
If the controlling program is sold independently, then the user gets the CD disk that is
needed for installing the soft are. The (akg_ins all_1xx.exe) executable file on this CD has
to be started for installation. The installation program is multi-lingual and leads the user
through the complete process of installation.
After inserting the installation CD a elcome screen is displayed. This can be seen on
the follo ing diagram.
Diagram 1: Welcome screen of the installation CD
The next step is the acceptance of the license agreement. The license agreement has to
be accepted, other ise installation cannot be continued.
The control program has the follo ing 3 essential external components: a MySQL
database engine, a MySQL ODBC interface and a BDE information tool.
The installation program continues installation ith checking these components or ith
their installation. First the MySQL database engine is checked or installed (see Diagram 2 on
the next page). Running the program requires at least version 5.0.27 or 5.1.27. The installation
program checks the version number as ell. If it finds an already installed MySQL server,
then it displays its version number and asks its root user pass ord. In the case of a database
server that is installed ith the present installation program there is no need to give the code
and it is not even possible to give it. In the interest of avoiding complications it is
recommended to install the conference controlling program on such a machine, on hich
there as no database server installed previously.
In the case of a ne installation, the installation of the server and of the tables is
automatically selected, ho ever, if one had been already installed previously, then none of the
installations is selected automatically.
Impor an ! Installing the ne tables deletes the former conference data! During
installation be patient and pay attention to the messages that are displayed on the screen!

8
Diagram 2: MySQL database engine installation program
A arning sign about the correct procedure after the installation ill appears during the
first step of the installation of the server. You have to click on «Nex » button 2 times hen the
installation accomplished.
Diagram 2.1: After the MySQL database engine installation
After setting the database the next step is the installation of the MySQL ODBC
interface (MySQL Connector/ODBC) (Diagram 3). The installation program in this case also
checks for earlier installed instances and if needed it offers installing the interface. The ODBC
parameters are set in each case.

9
Diagram 3: Installation of the MySQL ODBC interface
This is follo ed by the installation of the BDE (see Diagram 4 on the next page). If it is
already installed, then this is displayed on the screen and it is possible to continue ith the
installation.
Diagram 4: BDE installer

10
Ho ever, if it is not installed yet, then the installation program ill install it. During its
installation in each case button «Nex » has to be clicked (4 times and do not change any
default settings) and «Finish» at the end.
Diagram 4.1: BDE Information tility installer
And finally the installation of the conference controlling program comes, here
installation «Full» has to be selected (see Diagram 5).
Diagram 5: Installation of the conference controlling program

11
The installation program contains an emulation program as ell. This emulation
program is for substituting real units, and ith its aid it is possible to model the complete
operation of the conference system. Installing the emulation program is not mandatory – for
this reason it is not included among the recommended components – it has been included in
the installation program specifically for demonstration purposes.
The program recommends for hard disk installation location «C:\Program Files\AKG».
It is practical to accept this and to step for ard by pressing button «Ins all» (see Diagram 6
belo ).
Diagram 6: Giving the place of installation
After successfully installing the conference controlling program the follo ing screen –
Diagram 7 – appears on the display. On this screen ith the aid of the check box that is before
label «Readme» it is possible to display the general introductory description of the system.
Diagram 7: Finishing the installation
Pressing button «Finish» completes installation and subsequently running the
controlling program may be started.

program» is displayed on the monitor. This is sho n belo in Diagram 8.
Diagram 8: «Front Page» window (F.)
On the «Fron Page» (F.) it is possible to set the follo ing essential parameters of the
conference system:
• «Par icipan s» (A.)
This function is for entering and editing the data of the participants of the conference.
• «Conference designer» (B.)

asks for confirmation, then closes everything properly and finally stops the running of the
program.
• «Choose language» (F.2.)
It is possible to select here the language of the controlling program. Three different
languages (English, Russian and Hungarian) are factory defaults. It is also possible to
install arbitrary additional languages. The procedure of installing ne languages is
introduced in detail in Section 4.4.11. «Language Edi or» (D.11.).
• «Refresh» (F.3.)
When pressing this button the program checks and lists those ports to hich a
controllable CS5 conference system is connected.
• «Uni s» (F.4.)
This label sho s the number of the connected units.
• «Free channels» (F.5.)
This function sho s the number of channels that are authorized to for ard speeches and
hich are currently still free. This number depends on the maximum number of
microphones that may be s itched on simultaneously (NOM LIMIT). This parameter
may be set on the central unit of the conference system (Basic Unit - BU).
• Conference s a us (F.6.)
Displays the current status of the conference, it may display the follo ing texts:
«EMPTY» – if there is no conference uploaded, «LOADED», «RUNNING»,
«STOPPED», «PAUSED».
• Time of Conference (F.7.)
Sho s the time passed since the start of the conference.
• Sys em s a us (F.8.)
Displays hether the conference system is connected to the controlling computer. Thus
depending on the status either the text «CONNECTED» or «DISCONNECTED» is
displayed.
