The purpose of this manual is to provide information required for installing the DICENTIS Wireless Conference System.
Intended audience
This hardware installation manual is intended for installers of a DICENTIS Wireless Conference System.
Alerts and notice signs
Four types of signs can be used in this manual. The type is closely related to the effect that may be caused if it is not observed. These signs - from least severe effect to most severe effect - are:
Notice!
Containing additional information. Usually, not observing a 'notice' does not result in damage to the equipment or personal injuries.
The equipment or the property can be damaged, or persons can be lightly injured if the alert is not observed.
The equipment or the property can be seriously damaged, or persons can be severely injured if the alert is not observed.
Not observing the alert can lead to severe injuries or death.
The DICENTIS Wireless Conference System is a "standalone" IP based system. It uses WiFi IEEE 802.11n for wireless distribution and processing of audio and data signals.
Typical DICENTIS Wireless Conference System
A typical DICENTIS Wireless Conference System (see following figure and numbering on next page) consists of:
Figure 3.1: Typical DICENTIS Wireless Conference System
Typical extended DICENTIS Wireless Conference System
A typical extended DICENTIS Wireless Conference System (see the following figure and numbering on the next page) has an additional Ethernet network switch/video switch (10) and HD Conference Dome (11).

DICENTIS Wireless Conference System system with redundant WAP
The system can be configured with a redundant DCNM‑WAP provided the following conditions are met. The procedure for subscribing a redundant DCNM‑WAP is described in the Configuration manual.
Note: The use of an Ethernet network switch and cabling are preferred during the subscription process, because this makes it easier to access and subscribe the WAPs. When subscription of the secondary WAP is complete, the Ethernet network switch and cabling can be removed if it is no longer required.
The following requirements are valid if you want to extend your system with a network switch or cameras:
Cameras
Typical, the Bosch HD Conference Dome is used. Refer to product related information on: www.boschsecurity.com > Country of your choice > Conference Systems > DICENTIS Wireless Conference System > HD cameras and accessories.
Use the guidelines in this section to plan the design and installation of your DICENTIS Wireless Conference System.
This equipment should be unpacked and handled with care. If an item appears to be damaged, notify the shipper immediately. If any items are missing, notify your Bosch representative. The original packaging is the safest container in which to transport products and can be used to return products for service if necessary.

802.11n specification
The DICENTIS Wireless Conference System network is based on the 802.11n specification for WiFi technology. Devices that comply to the 802.11n specification operate in frequency bands between 2.4000 and 2.4835 GHz and 5.180 and 5.700 GHz.
Notice!
Although the system operates on frequencies which are license free world wide, you must be aware of country specific limitations and follow them.
The following additional components can be used with the DICENTIS Wireless Conference System, as required:
6.3 mm jack cables – These cables are required if you want to connect optional audio equipment to the audio line input and/or audio line output of the Wireless Access Point (DCNM‑WAP), such as microphones and a sound reinforcement system.
CAT5e cables - These cables are required if you want to connect a PC/Laptop to the Wireless Access Point (DCNM‑WAP) for running the web browser interface and connecting a switch and HD Conference Domes.
Use the following steps to install the Wireless Access Point (DCNM‑WAP).
