1 Wireless network design
1.1 Introduction
The DCN Wireless has three parts: the wireless
network, the DCN and the optical network. This
chapter tells how to design the wireless network.
1.2 Limits
Limit 1: Control capacity
The maximum number of devices in the wireless
network that the central control unit can control is 150.
Limit 2: Coverage area
For a good operation of the wireless part, all wireless
discussion units need to be in range of the wireless
access point. The wireless access point has a typical
maximum coverage area of 30 m by 30 m. To
determine the exact coverage area the coverage test kit
can be used.
Limit 3: Frequency
The wireless network must operate in a different
frequency band than adjacent wireless (computer)
networks (refer to section 1.3).
Limit 4: Language Distribution enabled or
disabled
If all wireless discussion units have software version 2.35
or higher, language distribution in the wireless network
can either be enabled or disabled. This system setting
will affect all units.
For information on how to enable or disable language
distribution in the wireless network, refer to section
10.6.11.
Wireless discussion units that have software version 2.35
or higher have improved signaling and behavior with
respect to subscription and connection, which is more in
line with the wired DCN units (refer to section 14.6).
The difference in signaling can be used to detect the
software version of the unit. This can be 2.35, or a
higher or lower version.
If the wireless discussion unit has an integrated channel
selector, the software version is shown on the channel
selector display when:
• the unit is switched on but is not subscribed to a
wireless network (refer to section 14.6 for
information on subscription).
• the unit is in programming mode (refer to section
14.3.1).
For information on how to enable or disable language
distribution in the wireless network, refer to section
10.6.11.
Limit 5: Number of Language Distribution
Channels
The wireless network has a maximum of 10 language
distribution channels, excluding the channel for the
floor. The total number of language distribution
channels in the system, is set via the interpreter desk
(refer to section 33.6.6.4 in the DCN Next Generation
Installation & User Instructions).
If there are more than 10 Language Distribution
Channels, only the first 10 channels will be available for
the wireless network. All higher channels will only be
available for the (wired) DCN network and/or the
infrared Integrus network.
Note
You can change the power value of the wireless
access point (refer to section 11.6.4).
Note
Wireless discussion units that have a software
version lower than 2.35 will only work when
language distribution is disabled.

DCN Wireless | Installation and User Instructions | System Design and Planning en | 13
1.3 Frequency band
1.3.1 802.11g specification
The wireless network is based on the 802.11g
specification for WiFi technology. Devices that comply
to the 802.11g specification operate in frequency bands
between 2.4000 and 2.4835 GHz.
1.3.2 Wireless computer networks
Wireless (computer) networks can also be based on the
802.11g specification for WiFi technology. In the
wireless computer networks, 13 overlapping channels
are available (refer to figure 1.1).
1.3.3 Carriers
In the wireless network of DCN Wireless, three
non-overlapping wireless carriers are available (refer to
figure 1.2).
1.3.4 Interference
The wireless network of DCN Wireless can cause
interference on wireless computer networks. You must
make sure the DCN wireless carrier does not overlap
the WLAN channel.
Refer to figure 1.3. In the example, the WLAN channel
is 3. WLAN channel 3 overlaps DCN wireless carriers 0
and 1. Therefore, use DCN wireless carrier 2.
Note
Although the system operates on frequencies
which are license free world wide, you must be
aware of country specific limitations and follow
them.

3.5.3 Power supply
The CCU supplies power for:
• the optical network, and
• the units connected via the DCN cables.
Refer to figure 3.1.
If more power is necessary, you must install external
power supplies in the optical network. The devices
below can connect to external power supplies:
• LBB4410/00 Network Splitter (refer to the DCN
Next Generation Installation and User Instructions).
• LBB4414/10 Fiber Interface (refer to the DCN Next
Generation Installation and User Instruction).
3.5.4 Overload indication
Each optical network socket of the central control unit
has a red LED that comes on to show that there is a
power overload. An overload occurs when the
necessary power for the devices is greater than that
supplied. The sockets are deactivated and the devices
connected to the central control unit do not operate.
The socket checks every 8 seconds for power overloads.
3.6 Cabling
3.6.1 Introduction
Many devices in the optical network have two optical
network sockets that are interchangeable. You can use
the two optical network sockets to make a redundant
ring.
3.6.2 Definitions
The optical network uses two types of cable:
•POF
Plastic Optical Fiber.
•GOF
Glass Optical Fiber.

3.6.3 Optical fiber length
Because of optical attenuation, the maximum length of
optical network cables (LBB4416) is 50 m. You can use
GOF and fiber interfaces to increase the distance
between devices to a maximum of 1500 m.
3.6.4 Cable couplers
You can use the LBB4419/00 Cable Couplers to
connect optical network cables to each other. A cable
coupler causes optical attenuation. Each cable coupler
decreases the maximum distance between two devices
in the optical network (normally 50 meters) with
20 meters.
3.6.5 Maximum cable length
The maximum cable length (LBB4416 and GOF) of the
optical network is dependent on:
• The number of nodes
• The number of LBB4414/10 Fiber Interfaces
Do as follows:
1 Find the number of nodes of each device from the
node value table (refer to table 3.1). Add together the
nodes of all devices.
2 With the value of step 1, use the graph (refer to
figure 3.2) to find the maximum cable length without
LBB4414/10 Fiber Interfaces.
3 Count the number of LBB4414/10 Fiber Interfaces.
Each fiber interface decreases the maximum cable
length from step 2 with 18 m.
Note
If the distance between two devices is less than
100 m, use a network splitter between devices
to remove the use of fiber interfaces. Use only
the trunk sockets of the network splitter in this
case.

3.6.6 Bending
The minimum bend radius of a 90 degree bend in an
LBB4416 cable is 110 mm (refer to figure 3.3). A
180 degree bend is the same as two 90 degree bends.
3.6.7 Coiling
The minimum coiling radius of an LBB4416 cable is
110 mm (refer to figure 3.4).
3.7 Example layouts
3.7.1 Introduction

3.7.2 Basic optical network
Refer to figure 3.5 for an example of a basic optical
network.
3.7.3 Extended optical network
Refer to figure 3.6 for an example of an extended
optical network.
3.7.4 Redundant cables
The example of the extended optical network (refer to
figure 3.6) has no redundant cable. If the cable between
the central control unit (DCN-WCCU) and the wireless
access point (DCN-WAP) breaks, the central control
unit cannot transmit data to the wireless access point. A
solution for this problem is to use redundant cable (refer
to figure 3.7 for an example).
The example of the system without redundant cable
(refer to figure 3.6) has no connection between the
cobranet interface (LBB4404/00) and the central control
unit (DCN-WCCU). The example of the system with
redundant cable has a connection between the Cobranet
Interface and the central control unit. This connection
makes a ring. If a cable breaks, the optical network
continues to operate.
The total power of all devices in the redundant optical
network is 65 W. If the optical network is defective near
the central control unit, the other socket can supply
power to all of the optical network.

3.7.5 Tap-offs
The network splitter (LBB4410/00) lets you make
tap-offs (refer to figure 3.8 for an example). Tap-offs
cannot be redundant. If the cable between the network
splitter and the digital audio expander (PRS-4DEX4)
becomes defective, the digital audio expander has no
connection to the central control unit.

6 CobraNet
CobraNet is a standard for the transport of real-time
digital audio and control data through an Ethernet
network. A CobraNet network can transport a
maximum of 64 channels of 48 kHz, 20-bit audio
through a 100 Mbit link connection in each direction.
Many manufacturers of professional audio devices
support the CobraNet standard.
The DCN Wireless digital congress network can
connect to CobraNet networks with the LBB4404/00
Cobranet Interface. For example, you can use the
LBB4404/00 Cobranet Interface to:
• Benefit from Ethernet infrastructure
• Transport audio signals over large distances
PC data, for example data from the DCN Wireless
Central Control Unit can co-exist with CobraNet data
on the same Ethernet network when you use managed
Ethernet switches that are approved by Peak Audio.

8 Device set-up
8.1 General
• Make sure that the area is clean.
• Make sure that the air is sufficiently cool.
• Make sure that there is sufficient lighting.
8.2 Cables
Use different cable ducts for the extension and mains
cables. Identify each cable with a label and divide
trunks to manageable geographic locations. In public
areas where people can touch or move above the
connectors and cables, use metal protection covers.
Refer to the applicable protection specification of the
protection covers.
8.3 Temperature
When devices are in a 19-inch rack, make sure there is
rack space between the devices to let sufficient air flow.
Forced airflow may be necessary to keep the
temperature of the devices below the maximum
temperature (refer to section 9.2). This extends the
lifetime of the devices.
8.4 Ventilation
Keep a good airflow. Airflow holes are in the front, right
and left sides of all 19-inch devices (for example, the
central control unit and the audio expander).
• Put the devices on a hard and level surface.
• Put the central control unit at minimum distance of
0.10 m from walls to let sufficient air flow.
8.5 Cleaning

devices, if you want to clean the devices.
2 Use a soft cloth that is not fully moist with a weak
soap and water solution.
3 Let the device fully dry before you operate the
device again.
8.6 Storage
1 Disconnect the mains power supply from the
devices, if you do not use the devices for a long time.
2 Keep the devices in a clean and dry area with a
sufficient airflow.
3 Remove the batteries of the wireless discussion units.
Caution
Do not put objects on top of devices. Objects
can fall through the airflow holes. A blockage of
the airflow holes can cause a risk of fire.
Caution
Do not put the devices near or above a radiator,
heat grill or in direct sunlight.
Caution
Do not cause vibration of the devices.
Caution
Do not use alcohol, ammonia or petroleum
solvents or abrasive cleaners to clean the
devices.

8.7 Acoustic feedback
Acoustic feedback (‘howling’) occurs when the sound of
the loudspeakers or headphones in the system is sent to
the system again by activated microphones.
table 8.1: Acoustic feedback
Source Quick solution Structural solution
The acoustic feedback is caused by
the loudspeakers of the contribution
devices.
Decrease the volume level of the
system. For example, with the knob
on the front of the central control
unit (refer to section 10.6.3).
Do as follows:
1 Install a feedback suppressor
between audio input 2 and audio
output 2 of the central control
unit.
2 Set the audio routing mode of
the system to Insertion (refer to
section 12.6).
The acoustic feedback is caused by
an external public address system
that is connected to the DCN
Wireless digital congress network.
Decrease the volume level of the
public address system or the DCN
Wireless digital congress network.
Install a feedback suppressor
between audio output 1 and the
input of the external public address
system.
The acoustic feedback is caused by
the headphones that are connected
to the contribution devices.
Tell the chairmen and the delegates
to decrease the volume level of their
headphones with their contribution
devices.

Bosch Security Systems | 2007-11 | 9922 141 70691 en
DCN Wireless | Installation and User Instructions | Contribution Devices en | 81
14.6.2 Procedure
The procedure below is applicable for wireless
discussion devices without a subscription. If the wireless
discussion unit already has a subscription, first erase the
subscription (refer to section 14.6.3).
Do as follows:
1 Set the wireless mode of the system to Subscription
(refer to section 12.3.5).
2 Insert charged batteries into the wireless discussion
units.
3 Push the microphone button of the wireless
discussion unit. All LEDs of the wireless discussion
unit come on and stay on, and the indicator ring of
the microphone comes on as red.
4 Push the microphone button of the wireless
discussion unit for a second time. The unit will try to
subscribe. If subscription is successful, all LEDs of
the wireless discussion unit, and the indicator ring of
the microphone go off (if the software version of the
wireless discussion unit is lower than 2.35, all LEDs
go off after 2 seconds, and the LED around the
microphone is green for 5 seconds indicating that the
subscription was successful. A second push on the
microphone button, as required for units with
software version 2.35 or higher, is not required).
• If after pushing the microphone button for a second
time, all LEDs around the microphone button and
the indicator ring of the microphone come on again,
the wireless discussion unit is either not within range
of the wireless network, or the wireless mode is not
set to Subscription (if the software version of the
wireless discussion unit is lower than 2.35, and after
pushing the microphone button for the first time, the
ring around the microphone button alternates red
and green for 5 seconds, the unit is either: not within
range of the wireless network, the wireless mode is
not set to Subscription, or the language distribution is
enabled). Refer to the note under Limit 4 in section
1.
• If after pushing the microphone button for the first
time, the ring around the microphone button is
yellow for 250 milliseconds and then goes off, the
wireless discussion unit was already subscribed to
this system - you did not have to put the system in
subscription mode. Instead switch on the unit as
described in section 13.1 (if the software version of
the wireless discussion unit is lower than 2.35, the
ring around the microphone button is green for 2
seconds).
• If after pushing the microphone button for the first
time, the yellow LEDs around the microphone
button, and the red indicator ring of the microphone
are on, the wireless discussion unit is already
subscribed to a system, but is not within range of this
system. If the unit cannot find the system within 15
minutes, it will automatically switch off (if the
software version of the wireless discussion unit is
lower than 2.35, the ring around the microphone
button alternates red and yellow for 5 seconds, and
then the unit automatically switches off).
• If after pushing the microphone button for the first
time, the yellow LED comes on for 250 ms and the
red microphone indicator comes on and stays on, the
wireless discussion unit is already subscribed to the
system, but another unit with the same address is
already connected. To correct this, de-initialize the
unit as described in section 14.6.3, or push the
microphone button for a second time. The unit will
then de-initialize. If the unit is in range of the
wireless network and subscription is enabled, the
unit will also subscribe (if the software version of the
wireless discussion unit is lower than 2.35, the ring
around the microphone button alternates red and
yellow for 5 seconds, and then the unit automatically
switches off. De-initialize the unit as described in
section 14.6.3, and then subscribe the unit again).

All LEDs of the wireless discussion unit come on, and
the LED around the microphone indicator ring comes
on as red. The old subscription is erased, and the unit is
ready for subscription (refer to section 14.6.2). If the
software version of the wireless discussion unit is lower
than 2.35, the LED around the microphone button
comes on as yellow for 2 seconds.
