FEATURES AND ACCESSORIES

EXPANSION OF THE PHONE COVERAGE

Use your Konftel 800 on larger conference tables or when the number of a
meeting participants is greater than 10. In this case you can ensure high-level
quality of audio signal by expanding the phone coverage in the room without a PA
system. Do it by connecting Smart Mic expansion microphones to the phone or by
cascading several Konftel 800 devices in a daisy chain.
Expansion of the phone coverage helps to improve the audio quality in large
rooms. The conference phone and two Smart Mics increase the capture range
from 30 square meters to up to 70 square meters. Three phones in a daisy chain
increase the range from 30 square meters to up to 90 square meters.
Expansion coverage arrangement
Arrange a daisy chain with your conference phone and another Konftel 800 or
connect Smart Mic expansion microphones. The maximum number of devices
connected in a daisy chain is 3. One Konftel 800 phone acts as a central device (a
"master") and one or two other units act as expansion devices ("slaves").
The typical arrangements when the phone's coverage is expanded are the
following:
• Master phone — Slave phone
• Slave phone — Master phone — Slave phone
• Master phone — Expansion microphone
• Expansion microphone — Master phone — Expansion microphone
• Expansion microphone — Master phone — Slave phone

Functions of the Master and Slave devices

When Konftel 800 acts as a master, it performs all its configured functions.
When Konftel 800 is in a subordinate position (a "slave"), it performs the following
functions:
• Play audio received from the master device. The master phone defines the
audio characteristics.
• Send its microphone audio to the master device.
• Receive and indicate mute state changes made on the master device.
• Send information to the master device when you tap
• Send information to the master device when you adjust the volume on it.
