Assigning Names And Seat Numbers - Shure DDS 5900 Manual

DDS 5900 Digital Discussion System
Isolating the Network
For maximum security, isolate the control network with a dedicated computer or a protected router.
• Dedicate one computer as the control station. Connect it directly to the CCU TCP/IP port. This ensures that
wireless devices cannot access the IP address of the control software.
• If multiple computers or tablets are required, assign a password encryption for the router. The most effective
standard is the Wireless Protected Access II (WPA2), which uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for en-
cryption. Reference the router user guide to set it up.

Assigning Names and Seat Numbers

When the discussion begins, the chairman or discussion moderator will need to refer to the participants by either
name, seat number, or both. The proper assignment of names and seat numbers is critical to ensure the continuity
of the discussion.
When logging in with the browser interface to an installation for the first time, each microphone unit appears with
its default name. Units are automatically assigned a seat number. Chairman units also appear in the participant
setup page. Use the participant setup page to match the units to the anticipated seating chart.
1. Make sure all units are connected and functioning.
◦ Go to the System Status page for details
◦ All properly connected microphone units are listed with a default serial and seat number automatically as-
signed by the software.
◦ Disconnected units will display as Lost and can be removed from the list by selecting Remove ­
Unregistered Units
2. Reassign seat numbers to match the actual seat numbers in the room or on your seating chart.
1. Go to the Unit to Seat Relation page
2. Match the entries in the seat table to the corresponding units in the room by placing the cursor over the seat
number field. The light ring on the microphone flashes red.
3. Change the seat number by clicking in the field.
3. Draw a seating chart, or diagram, that represents the room. Number each seat that requires a discussion unit.
Add participant names to the seating chart.
4. Go back to the Participant Setup page
next to the assigned seat numbers to the appropriate participant names.
