Important information on this manual
This manual describes five different software modules which work closely
together. The words and pictures in this manual refer to the entire range
of functions offered by all five software modules. If you do not have
licenses for all five software modules, some of the functions described here
and some of the buttons, menus etc. shown here will be missing from your
software. You then cannot use these functions.
For information on the different conference modes and the selectable
modes between or within interpreter booths as well as the SDC 8000
consoles, please refer to the SDC 8000 system manual.
Safety instructions

Different licenses for the software modules providing the functions you
require are available from Sennheiser electronic.
The software modules
The SDC 8000 software consists of two programs:
y“Confsys” for controlling the conference system and
y“IntSys” for controlling the interpretation system.
The “Confsys” program consists of up to four different software modules
(S-MM, S-DM, S-VM, S-VD) which work closely together; the “IntSys”
program consists of one single software module (S-IM).

Getting to know the software
9
Each module provides a number of interrelated functions and adds
buttons, menus and windows to the program. You need a separate license
for each software module. This means that, if you do not need some of the
modules and have not licensed them, a number of the buttons, menus etc.
described in this manual will be missing from your software.
The S-MM (Microphone Management) software module
The S-MM software module is the basic software you require in order to
configure, monitor and control the conference system from your PC. With
the S-MM software module, you can:
ycreate a synoptic view of the conference room,
yassign a real microphone to each conference console icon in the synoptic
view,
yactivate and decative the microphones by a mouse click,
ymonitor the status of the consoles (request to speak, faulty connection,
active microphone),
yconfigure all parameters of the conference system.
The S-DM (Delegate Management) software module
The S-DM software module allows you to manage the delegate data and
display the names of the delegates during the conference. You can activate
or deactivate the microphone of a certain delegate by clicking his name
with the mouse.
For this, you also need the S-MM software module.
The S-VM (Voting Management) software module
The S-VM software module allows you to take votes and program and read
the chip cards.
For this, you also need the S-MM software module.
The S-VD (Voting Display) software module
The S-VD software module allows you to display voting results as bar or pie
diagrams, for example using a projector or several large screens in the
conference room.
For this, you also need the S-MM and S-VM software modules.

The IM (Interpreter Management) software module
The IM software module is the software you require in order to configure,
monitor and control the interpretation system from your PC. With the
IM software module, you can:
yconfigure all parameters of the interpretation system,
yoperate the interpretation system and monitor the status of the
interpreter consoles,
ysend short text messages to the interpreters.
The licenses
When purchasing the software, you also purchase licenses for one or
several software modules. All licensed software modules are activated
automatically when you install the software.
You can upgrade your license(s) at any time to include additional software
modules (see “Upgrading the software license” on page 91).
Note:
If you license additional software modules, the corresponding menus
and buttons appear automatically. Please note that the menus and
buttons of all software modules are shown in this manual – including
those for which you have possibly no license.
The dongle
When purchasing the software, you also receive a dongle (hardware
license key). This dongle releases all licensed software modules for use on
all PCs in your network and must therefore be inserted into a free USB port
(or parallel port) of the master PC.
If the dongle is not inserted at startup, the “Hit CR to abort” dialog box
opens (see “Starting the program for the first time” on page 16).
If the dongle is inserted but cannot be detected due to the program
configuration, the “Waiting for master...” dialog box opens (see “Setting
the correct starting options” on page 16).

Getting to know the software
11
The two passwords
Access to the software and the configurations is protected by two
passwords. Password 1 is required for general use and configuration of the
software. It must be entered whenever you start the software and click any
item on the menu. Password 2 is required for configuring critical software
and hardware parameters. It must be entered whenever an especially
important parameter is to be changed.
Password 1 On delivery of the software, password 1 is: “123”.
Password 2 Password 2 is: “456”.
Note:
In order to ensure that only authorized persons can access the settings
of your conference and interpretation system, these passwords must
be changed as soon as possible (see “Changing the passwords of the
“Confsys” program” on page 19)!

System requirements
12
System requirements
Hardware required
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon XP, 2 GHz or more
RAM: 256 MB min. (512 MB recommended)
Hard disk: min. 30 MB free hard disk memory
Drives: CD ROM or DVD ROM drive
drive for data backup (e.g. floppy disk drive,
CD recorder or ZIP drive)
Interfaces: at least one free RS 232 interface (serial interface)
(see note below)
Sound card: quality stereo sound card
Screen resolution: exactly 1024 ×768 pixels
(see note below)
Network: optional 10/100/1000 Base Ethernet
Note on the RS 232 interfaces:
You only require one free RS 232 interface per PC if:
yyou only control conference consoles via the software and not
interpreter consoles (you have not licensed the S-IM software
module),
yyou use two different PCs to control the conference and
interpretation system (each PC has an RS 232 interface of its own),
yyou use only one PC to control both the conference system and the
interpretation system and have to constantly change the interface
via which the PC is connected to the central unit (the COM 3 interface
of the central unit to control the conference system and the COM 1
interface to control the interpretation system).
You require two free RS 232 interfaces if:
yyou want to use only one PC to control both the conference system
and the interpretation system without having to constantly change
the interface via which the PC is connected to the central unit.
Note on the screen resolution:
We recommend setting your screen resolution to exactly 1024 ×768
pixels!

System requirements
13
The operating system required
The SDC 8000 software requires Windows NT, Windows 2000 or Windows
XP Professional.
Note:
Both programs (“Confsys” to control the conference system and
“IntSys” to control the interpretation system) require one free COM
port each (RS 232 interface)! The SDC 8000 software therefore does
not function on PCs which do not have at least one free COM port not
assigned to another software – e.g. Hotsync (software for data transfer
between a PC and a Palm PDA)!
The network
You can install the software on up to eight PCs in a network. One of these
PCs must be configured as the “master” (see “Configuring the PC in a
network” on page 35). The master PC gives you access to all functions of
the conference and interpretation system. The dongle must be inserted
into a free USB port of the master PC.
Up to two PCs can be configured as “slaves” (see “Configuring the PC in a
network” on page 35). A slave PC also gives you access to all functions. The
slave PCs do not require a dongle.
Up to five PCs can be configured as “video PCs” (see “Configuring the PC in
a network” on page35). A video PC does not give you access to the
functions of the conference and interpretation system. Projectors or
monitors connected to the video PCs are only for displaying data to the
delegates or guests. The video PCs do not require a dongle either.

Preparing the conference system for use
Connecting the PC to the central unit
Please note that the program for controlling the conference system and
the program for controlling the interpretation system require a separate
RS 232 interface each. Therefore, there are two possibilities for PC
controlling your conference and interpretation system:
1. You connect a single PC to the central unit:
The PC has two free RS 232 interfaces. Both the program for
controlling the conference system and the program for controlling the
interpretation system are installed on this PC.
Additional slave or video PCs can be connected to the PC’s network
card via a local network (LAN).
2. You connect two PCs to the central unit:
The program for controlling the conference system and the program for
controlling the interpretation system are installed on two different PCs.
Each PC has a free RS 232 interface.
To connect PCs to the central unit:
왘Make sure that the required serial interfaces are available and free. The
required interfaces must appear in the Windows Device Manager under
“Ports (COM & LPT)”. These interfaces must not be used by any other
software.
왘Use one zero modem cable to connect the serial interface of the PC via
which the conference system is to be controlled to the COM 3 interface
쐇of the central unit.
왘Use the second zero modem cable to connect the serial interface of the
PC via which the interpretation system is to be controlled to the COM 1
interface 쐃of the central unit.
Attention!
After you have connected the PC to the central unit, your conference
and interpretation system can be controlled via both the PC and the
central unit!
In order to avoid inconsistencies, please make sure that no parameters
are changed on the central unit!
Installing the software
To install the software on your PC or on different PCs in your network,
proceed as follows:
Attention!
If you want to install a newer version of the software, you first have to
remove the old version!

PC.
왘When the software is installed, the dongle driver (Rainbow
Technologies Sentinel System Driver) is installed automatically. For
this, however, it is vital that no dongle is connected to the PC!
Note:
During the installation of the dongle driver, you can select either
“Complete” (all components including the help file) or “Custom”
(optionally without help file). We recommend selecting “Complete”.
After the installation is successfully completed, the newly installed
program group appears under “Start/Programs”. In the
subgroup, you will find the program for controlling the
conference system; in the subgroup, you will find the
program for controlling the interpretation system. In addition, you will
find the utility program for upgrading your license.

Starting the program for the first time
16
Starting the program for the first time
When you start the Confsys program for the first time, the necessary
options for your PC or your network are not yet set.
If the dongle is not inserted at startup or if it is removed during operation,
the “Hit CR to abort” dialog box opens.
왘In the “Hit CR to abort” dialog box, click “OK”.
The “Waiting for master...” dialog box opens.
Note:
If the PC is configured as a video PC or slave PC and does not detect the
dongle at startup (because the master PC is turned off or the dongle is
not inserted into a free USB port of the master PC), the “Waiting for
master...” dialog box also opens.
The “Waiting for master...” dialog box offers you the following options:
1. You can close the “Waiting for master...” dialog box, insert the dongle
and restart the program (see “Connecting the dongle” on page 16).
2. You can click the “Options” button (password required!) and configure
the PC as a video PC or slave PC (see “Setting the correct starting
options” on page 16). To do so, you have to enter the TCP/IP address of
the master PC.
You then have to restart the program. The program searches for the
master PC with the inserted dongle. If the dongle is inserted into a free
USB port of the master PC and the master PC is turned on, the program
starts with the selected configuration (video PC or slave PC).
3. You can start the program in demo mode (see “Starting the program in
demo mode” on page 17).
Connecting the dongle
To close the “Waiting for master...” dialog box:
왘Click the “Close” button.
The “Waiting for master...” dialog box closes.
왘Insert the dongle into a free USB port of the master PC.
왘Restart the program.
Setting the correct starting options
When you start the program for the first time, the “Waiting for master...”
dialog box appears and you have to decide whether the PC is to be
configured as a master PC, slave PC or video PC.
To do so, proceed as follows:
왘Make sure that all PCs on which you have installed the software are
turned on and that the dongle is inserted into a free USB port of the
master PC.

Starting the program for the first time
17
왘In the “Waiting for master...” dialog box, click the “Options” button.
The “Options” window opens.
왘On the “1” tab, configure the PC as a master PC, slave PC or video PC as
required (see “Configuring the PC in a network” on page 35). On the
master PC and on all other PCs in the network, enter the correct IP
addresses of all PCs involved in the control of your conference and
interpretation system.
왘If you only use one PC to control the conference and interpretation
system, configure this one as the master PC. In this case, you do not
require any IP addresses.
왘On the “2” tab, set the correct COM port (see “Configuring the COM
port” on page 38).
왘In the “Options” window, click the ”Save and Exit” button. The
“Options” window closes.
왘In the “Waiting for master...” dialog box, click the close “Close” button.
The dialog box closes.
왘Restart the program. If you want to configure additional slave or video
PCs, proceed in the same way.
If the “Waiting for master...” dialog box appears when the program is
started for the second time (or later), this means that no connection can
be established with the master PC because:
ythe master PC is not turned on or
ythe “Confsys” program is not running on the master PC or
ythe wrong IP address for the master PC was specified on the video or
slave PC or
ythe wrong IP address for the video or slave PC was specified on the
master PC.
See also “If problems occur...” on page 93.
Starting the program in demo mode
To start the Confsys program without a dongle:
왘In the “Waiting for master...” dialog box, click the “Demo” button.
The program starts in demo mode.
Note:
Demo mode is started automatically when the dongle is removed
during operation.
In demo mode, your conference system is restricted to five delegates
and your interpretation system is restricted to two languages with only
one interpreter per language, this means in detail:
yYou can configure conferences with more than five conference
consoles, but only the first five conference consoles are stored.
yYou can open conference configurations with more than five
conference consoles, but only the first five conference consoles are
displayed.

Starting the program for the first time
18
yDuring a conference, only the first five conference consoles are
displayed.
yYou can only configure two interpreter booths with one interpreter
console each.
yYou can open interpretation configurations with more than two
interpreter booths and more than one interpreter console per booth,
but only the first two booths with their respective first interpreter
