The DICENTIS Wireless Conference System is a “standalone” IP based system. It uses
WiFi IEEE 802.11n for wireless distribution and processing of audio and data signals.
A typical DICENTIS Wireless Conference System (see the following figure and numbering on
the next page) consists of a Wireless Access Point (1) (including power supply adapter)
Wireless Devices (4 + 5) (including Battery Pack and microphone) a tablet device (7) for
operational use, PC/laptop (8) for licensing and operational use (The PC/laptop is only
needed temporarily for licensing and updates of the system software), and Battery Pack
Charger (6).

– Via Power over Ethernet (PoE). Or:
– Via Ethernet switch. Or:
– DCN multimedia (Audio) Powering Switch.
3. Provide a mains power supply connections nearby the equipment which requires mains
power supply.
4. Decide on how to power the other devices used in the system (i.e. Ethernet switch,
cameras etc.). See System overview, page 8:
– Via their own (mains) power supply provision. Or:
– Via Power over Ethernet (PoE), if possible.
5. Decide on how, and where, to install the Wireless Access Point (DCNM-WAP). See
Installation Wireless Access Point, page 13:
– Wall, ceiling or tripod floor stand.
– For a maximum WiFi coverage area, the DCNM-WAP can be placed on a central
location in the room.
6. Decide where, and how to place, the Wireless Devices (DCNM-WD and/or DCNM-WDE).
See Installation Wireless Devices and Accessories, page 19.
Control capacity
– The Wireless Access Point (DCNM-WAP) can control a maximum number of 120 Wireless
Devices in the DICENTIS Wireless Conference System network.
– Only one DCNM-WAP at the time can control the system.
Coverage area
– All Wireless Devices need to be in the WiFi coverage area of the DCNM-WAP.
– The DCNM-WAP has a typical WiFi coverage area of 30 m by 30 m.
802.11n specification
The DICENTIS Wireless Conference System network is based on the 802.11n specification for
WiFi technology. Devices that comply to the 802.11n specification operate in frequency bands
between 2.4000 and 2.4835 GHz and 5.180 and 5.700 GHz.
Notice!
Although the system operates on frequencies which are license free world wide, you must be
aware of country specific limitations and follow them.
