The DCN software uses two user-created files that contain important infor-
mation about the installed hardware configuration and about delegates’
names. These files are:
• Installation file - containing information about channel assignment and
the numbers that have been assigned to all microphones connected to the
DCN. These seat numbers are assigned using the System Installation
software (LBB 3585).
• Names file - containing information about the name, seat number and
other conference and personal details of participating delegates. Names
files are created using the Delegate Database software (LBB 3580).
DCN software modules may be started up from the Startup main window
without specifying either an installation or names file. However, some soft-
ware modules will not run without the appropriate installation or names
file.
Synoptic Microphone Control requires both an installation file and a names
file for full functionality, but will work with only an installation file.
NOTE: A names file is needed to show screenline icons.
Selecting an installation- (and a names) file
For details on selecting an installation- (and a names) file, please refer to
section 3.2 of the Startup user manual, under the heading ‘Selecting an
installation- and a names file’.
