Starting the “Confsys”program for the first time
19
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:
̈ Make 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.
̈ Make sure that “Full Control” is enabled for the installation folder (e.g.
C:\Programs\SDC8200) of the master PC
̈ In the “Waiting for master...” dialog box, click the “Options” button.
The “Options” window opens.
̈ On the “Confsys” tab, configure the PC as a master PC, slave PC or video
PC as required (see “Configuring the PC in a network” on page 44). 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.
̈ If 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.
̈ On the “CU” tab, set the correct COM port (see “Configuring the COM
port” on page 49).
̈ In the “Options” window, click the ”Save and Exit” button. The
“Options” window closes.
̈ In the “Waiting for master...” dialog box, click the close “Close” button.
The dialog box closes.
̈ Restart 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:
y the master PC is not turned on or
y the “Confsys” program is not running on the master PC or
y “Full Control” is not enabled for the installation folder (e.g.
C:\Programs\SDC8200) of the master PC or
y the wrong IP address for the master PC was specified on the video or
slave PC or
y the wrong IP address for the video or slave PC was specified on the
master PC.
