3 System installation overview
It is advisable to participate in the DICENTIS Conference System training before you install,
configure, prepare, and operate a DICENTIS Conference System.
The DICENTIS Conference System is an IP based conference system which runs on an OMNEO
compatible Ethernet network. It is used for distributing and processing audio, video and data
signals.
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).
Notice!
When Power over Ethernet is used, DICENTIS devices cannot be daisy‑chained. Please use
unshielded cable for the DICENTIS discussion devices.

Figure3.1: Typical DICENTIS Conference System setup
A typical DICENTIS Conference System consists of:
1. System server controller (PC):
– The heart of the system. It licenses functionality, configures and controls the system.
2. Client PC:
– Can be used to: Manage meetings, prepare meetings and configure the system.
3. Audio processor and powering switch (DCNM-APS / DCNM-APS2):
– Controls the system audio, routes audio from and to the system and supplies power
to the DICENTIS devices.
4. Powering switch (DCNM-PS / DCNM-PS2):
– Is used to increase the number of DICENTIS devices connected to the system.
5. DICENTIS devices: DCNM-D, DCNM-DVT, DCNM-DSL, DCNM-DE / DCNM-MMD2, DCNM-
MMD:
– Participants can use their DICENTIS device to contribute to a meeting.
–5.1 is a DICENTIS Multimedia device used for “system power on/off”. This device is
always connected to the powered socket of the Audio processor and powering
switch or Powering switch.
Note: Only one DICENTIS Multimedia device should be connected here.
–5.2 is a DICENTIS device used via a “Power over Ethernet” (PoE) Ethernet switch.
Note: Only one DICENTIS device should be connected here.
–5.3 are DICENTIS Interpretation desks: DCNM-IDESK and DCNM-IDESKVID. Provides
extensive facilities for professional interpretation for the DICENTIS Conference
System.
Note: A maximum of 10 desks can be installed per booth.
6. System Network Cable (DCNM‑CBxxx):
– Connects DICENTIS devices, the Audio processor and powering switch, and one or
more Powering switches to each other.
7. Ethernet switch:
– Ethernet switch with PoE on some ports.
- Routes the system data via Ethernet.
- Provides power to the DICENTIS devices via PoE.
