8.3 Microphone Operation Modes

The operation mode determines how delegate
microphones function during a meeting. Several factors
may affect the meeting requirements and the manner in
which the meeting run: room size, number of participants,
formality of the event, and amount of technical support on
staff. The operation mode addresses these factors with
four presets to control the microphone behavior.
To change the mode:

Description of Operation Modes
The following is a description of each mode once the
Speak button is pressed:
Manual
Adds the delegate to a request queue that is managed by
the chairman. The Chairman selects delegate microphones
from the queue list, and turns them on and off. Manual
is the only mode in which the web browser is required to
manage speakers.
Auto (Automatic)
Automatically turns on the delegate microphone if there is
room in the speaker list. In this mode, there is no request
queue: if the Speaker List is full, the delegate microphone
does not turn on.
FIFO (First In, First Out)
Automatically turns on the delegate microphone if there
is room in the speaker list. Once the list is full, delegates
are placed into a chronological request queue. The
microphone turns on automatically once a space is open in
the speaker list.
