GENERAL INFORMATION  
1.1 ABOUT INTERCOM  
What is Intercom?  
1
The Intercom module is one of the DCN software modules designed for  
monitoring and controlling conferences and discussions using the DCN  
contribution equipment. Intercom provides a means of setting up and con-  
trolling intercom calls between delegates, chairmen and interpreters during  
a conference. It allows several types of calls to be made:  
• From participant to operator, or vice versa  
• Between participants, via the operator or directly  
• From interpreter to operator, or vice versa  
• Between interpreters, via the operator or directly  
• From participant to interpreter, or vice versa, via the operator or directly  
The Intercom software is used in combination with the LBB 3555/00 inter-  
com handset and cradle. This unit can be attached to chairman-, delegate-,  
operator (PC network card) and interpreter units, and allows private two-  
way communication in the manner of a normal telephone conversation.  
The software provides assistance in both the pre-conference creation of an  
intercom network, and the routing and controlling of intercom calls once  
the conference is under way. Preparation work includes assigning special  
intercom links between participants, interpreters or a combination of both.  
Those to receive intercom facilities can be identified either by the seat  
number assigned using System Installation (LBB 3585) or the screen line  
assigned using Delegate Database (LBB 3580). A search facility is available  
to simplify this task. Once the conference is taking place, the operator can  
establish and re-route intercom calls via simple on-screen windows. The  
Intercom module differs from other DCN software modules in that it is  
automatically activated from an iconised state if an intercom call is made by  
a participating delegate.  
The number of DCN audio channels available for intercom purposes is set  
using the System Installation software. The minimum available number of  
channels is zero, and the maximum is 12. The first channel is used for one  
intercom call and the other channels can carry two intercom calls, so the  
maximum number of simultaneous calls possible is 23. When no channels  
are assigned for intercom purposes, the Intercom software module cannot  
be used.  
NOTE: It is not possible to start Intercom if 15 language channels have been  
selected in the System Installation module.

Fig. 1 The DCN Startup screen  
NOTE: For starting the DCN Startup program from an icon in the Windows  
desktop, refer to the Startup user manual.

GETTING STARTED  
NOTE: It is not possible to start Intercom if 15 language channels have been  
selected in the System Installation module.  
NOTE: Windows 2000 and NT 4.0 or higher DO NOT support Network  
Card LBB 3510/00. Therefore, a serial port must be used to connect the CCU  
to the control PC. In this case, there is no connection for the headphone and  
intercom handset (since this is located on the Network Card). To use the  
headphone and intercom handset, use the DCN table-top or flush-mounted  
hardware (please refer to the DCN Installation and Operating Manual for  
more information). Otherwise, a warning message will appear.  
2
NOTE: When a direct connection is made between the control PC and the  
CCU, the headphone control GUI for the operator will be disabled (please  
refer to page 3-3).  
The DCN software uses two user-created files that contain important  
information about the installed hardware configuration and about  
delegates’ names. These files are:  
Installation file - containing information about channel assignment and  
the numbers that have been assigned to all microphones connected to the  
DCN. These seat numbers are assigned using the System Installation  
software (LBB 3585).  
Names file - containing information about the name, seat number and  
other conference and personal details of participating delegates. Names  
files are created using the Delegate Database software (LBB 3580).  
DCN software modules may be started up from the Startup main window  
without specifying either an installation or names file. However, some  
software modules will not run without the appropriate installation or  
names file.  
Intercom makes use of the information contained both in an installation file  
and a names file. The screen line as specified in a names file is used by Inter-  
com to define delegates. The seat numbers assigned using System Installa-  
tion and contained in an installation file are also used. The number of DCN  
communication channels to be used for intercom purposes is also assigned  
using System Installation and contained in an installation file.

‘Connect’ push button with text displaying the number of available lines  
NOTE: The number of available lines depends on the number of intercom  
lines specified using System Installation. When no channels are assigned for  
intercom purposes, the Intercom software module cannot be used.  
The information displayed in the ‘Call From’ display field is dependent on  
who has initiated the call. The following possibilities exist:  
‘<Delegate/chairman screen line>, <seat number>’. This indicates that  
an intercom call has been made by a chairman or delegate, and that the  
following conditions have been met:  
-
-
-
a names file has been opened  
a screen line has been assigned to the calling chairman/delegate  
the chairman/delegate has been identified to the DCN system as the  
user of the unit from where the intercom call is made  
NOTE: The order in which this information is displayed is determined by the  
‘Search’ mode. If ‘Names’ is selected, the screen line will appear first, fol-  
lowed by the seat number. If ‘Number’ is selected, the seat number will  
appear first, followed by the screen line.  
‘<Seat number>’ indicates that an intercom call has been made by a  
chairman or delegate, but no names file has been opened, and/or no  
chairman/delegate has been identified to the DCN system as the user  
of the unit from where the intercom call is made.  
‘Interpreters Booth <N>, Desk <M>.’ This indicates that an intercom  
call has been made by an interpreter. <N> indicates the booth number  
of the interpreter, and <M> gives the desk number within the booth.

3.3 SETTING UP SPECIAL INTERCOM LINKS  
The Intercom software allows you to set up special intercom links between  
conference participants, or between participants and interpreters, or  
between interpreters. These special links mean that the selected people  
can call each other directly. Normally, intercom calls must go through  
the operator.  
The special links always have a direction, i.e. they go from one person to  
another. Only one special link can come from a single person, but anyone  
can receive as many as the system permits.  
3
The setting up of special intercom links is carried out from the  
‘Special Intercom Links’ dialogue box.  
• Select the ‘Edit’ menu and click on ‘Links...’.  
The following dialogue box appears:

‘Delete’ push button  
‘OK’ and ‘Cancel’ push buttons  
Determining where the special link begins - this option allows you to select  
a delegate, chairman or interpreter who can initiate a special intercom call.  
To select a delegate/chairman:  
• Click on the ‘Delegate’ radio button (if this option is not already  
enabled).  
To select an interpreter:  
• Click on the ‘Other’ radio button (if this option is not already enabled).  
NOTE: It is not possible to select another PC-user in a multi-PC configuration.  
If ‘Delegate’ has been selected, the ‘From’ list box will display an alphabeti-  
cal list of all delegates and chairmen that can initiate an intercom call, i.e.  
those who:  
• have a valid seat number in the currently open installation file  
• are connected to an LBB 3555/00 intercom handset and cradle  
• have not already been used as the ‘From’ part of a special intercom link  
Each delegate or chairman will be identified by a screen line and seat num-  
ber, or only a seat number if no screen line has been specified. Whether the  
seat number or screen line is displayed first depends on which ‘Search’  
mode has been selected.  
If ‘Others’ has been selected, the ‘Connect To’ list box will display a list of  
all interpreters that can receive an intercom call. The same conditions apply  
as given above for delegates and chairmen.

NOTE: What is displayed for interpreters is based on information contained  
within an interpreter configuration file in the Simultaneous Interpretation soft-  
ware module (LBB 3572). If no file is open, or no booth/desk numbers have  
been defined, or the Simultaneous Interpretation program is not open, then  
there will be no information displayed in the ‘From’ list box.  
Each interpreter will be identified by ‘Booth <N>, Desk <M>’, where <N>  
indicates the booth number of the interpreter, and <M> gives the desk  
number within the booth.  
3
To select a delegate, chairman or interpreter:  
• Click on the name in the list.  
If you wish to change your selection, simply repeat the procedure.  
Search - this option allows you to conduct a search for a particular delegate,  
chairman or interpreter. There are two ‘Search’ radio buttons, a ‘Search’  
push button and a list box:  
Fig. 8 The ‘Search’ facility  
You can specify whether the search is conducted by screen line (‘Names’) or  
seat number (‘Numbers’) when searching for a delegate or chairman.  
NOTE: When ‘Others’ is selected, a ‘Search’ can only be carried out to  
locate interpreters. In this case the ‘Names’ and Numbers’ radio buttons  
are deactivated, and you must enter <N>, <M>’ in the text box located  
under the ‘Search’ push button, where <N> and <M> are the booth num-  
ber and desk number of the interpreter respectively.

PREPARING FOR A CONFERENCE  
To choose the mode not currently selected:  
• Click on the radio button without the black circle.  
NOTE: Specifying the ‘Search’ mode also determines the way information is  
displayed in the ‘Connect To’ list box. If ‘Names’ is selected, then the list is  
arranged alphabetically by screen line, with the seat number displayed after  
each screen line. If ‘Numbers’ is selected, then the list is arranged by seat  
number, in ascending numerical order. The screen line (if specified) is dis-  
played after each seat number.  
3
You can specify a particular delegate or chairman you wish to search for.  
This is done by entering the details of the required delegate/chairman in the  
text box situated under the ‘Search’ push button. If ‘Numbers’ has been  
specified for the search, you may only enter up to four alphanumeric char-  
acters. If ‘Names’ has been specified for the search, then the maximum  
number of characters allowed equals the maximum length of the screen line.  
To search:  
• Click on the text box under the ‘Search’ push button.  
• Type the details of the required delegate in the text box.  
• Click on the ‘Search’ push button.  
Once the search is completed, the list box displays all entries corresponding  
to the input details. You can select the desired entry by clicking on it.  
Determining who the special link goes to - this option allows you to  
select a delegate, chairman or interpreter as the destination of a special  
intercom link.  
The procedure for locating a person to receive a special intercom link is  
identical to the procedure for selecting where the special link comes from.  
For more information on how to locate delegates, chairmen or interpreters  
and conducting a search, please refer to ‘Determining where the special link  
begins’ on page 3-11.  
The conditions under which delegates, chairmen or interpreters appear in  
the ‘To’ list box are identical to the conditions for the ‘From’ list box,  
except that names still appear in the list even if they are already the  
destination of a special intercom link. This means in effect that one  
person can receive any number of special links.

they must have the following:  
4
• A valid seat number in the currently open installation file  
• A connection to an LBB 3555/00 intercom handset and cradle  
Each delegate or chairman will be identified by a screen line and seat num-  
ber, or only a seat number if no screen line has been specified. Whether the  
seat number or screen line is displayed first depends on which ‘Search’  
mode has been selected.  
If ‘Other’ has been selected, the ‘Connect To’ list box will display a list of all  
interpreters who can receive an intercom call. To be eligible, these units  
must satisfy the same criteria as given above.  
NOTE: What is displayed for interpreters is based on information contained  
within an interpreter configuration file in the Simultaneous Interpretation soft-  
ware module (LBB 3572). If no file is open, or no booth/desk numbers have  
been defined, or the Simultaneous Interpretation program is not open, then  
there will be no information displayed in the ‘Connect To’ list box.  
Each interpreter will be identified by ‘Booth <N>, Desk <M>’, where <N>  
indicates the booth number of the interpreter, and <M> gives the desk  
number within the booth.
