•

FOR Vista/Windows 7 share folder:

"C:\ProgramData\Bosch\DCN Conference Software\\Export"

On the client:
• First check if the client can access the share you defined on the PC
running the DCN-SW server. Consult your local IT department in case of
any problems.
• Install the Print Application on the client.
• Stop the Print Application
Select “Exit” from the Print Application notification icon.
• Go to directory "C:\Program Files\Bosch\Digital Congress Network\DCNSW"
• Open file MeetingAnalyser.exe.config
• Look for:

Power supply in a multi CCU system
2.5.3.3 Multi CCU system
In a multi CCU system, the network controller supplies the power to the optical
network. The DCN-CCUs then only supply power to the DCN sockets and not the
optical network.
The maximum power that each of the optical network sockets of the network
controller can supply is 55 W.
• You must install external power supplies in the optical network, in case:
• more power is necessary in the optical network
• a glass optical fibre is used

Make sure that:
- the minimum strength of the safety cord, mounting material, shackle and supporting
building structure should withstand 1,500 N.
- a proper length safety cord is used (not more than 20 cm longer than needed).

WARNING: Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be
attempted by individuals who have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and
regulations of rigging objects overhead. Bosch strongly recommends that radiators be
suspended taking into account all current national, federal, state and local regulations.
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that radiators are safely installed in
accordance with all such regulations. If radiators are suspended, Bosch strongly
recommends that the installation is inspected at least once a year. If any sign of
weakness or damage is detected, remedial action should be taken immediately.

During installation of DCN-SW the installation process
might not be able to find the previous SQL-server, in
case during initial installation another name for the
SQL-server was created, instead of using the default
name. Therefore it is recommended to use the default
name and folder during initial SQL-installation. If a
SQL-server with a non-default name needs to be
found, the correct name should be entered manually
in the applicable box during DCN-SW installation.
Wait until DCN-system is powered up completely and
then check the connected devices via DCN-SW
configuration application VIEW \ System Overview.
This notification can occur when the DCN-UPTK unit
is used extensively. Please replace the connection
cable.
During a firmware download or system reset, the
system is not in normal operation and thus the error
relays can be active.
When the Master Volume of the CCU has been
changed while DCN-SW was disconnected, the DCNSW Master Volume will not reflect the CCU-setting.
Changing the DCN-SW volume setting, will make
them identical again.
Use a hall display or disable the voting timer.

Restart the Allegiant.

Restart the DCN-CCU or DCN-NCO.
Manually uninstall SWL server 2008.
Note that the DCN-SW database (the database
contains all settings like seats, meetings, synoptic

Solution
When you download to the CCU a user language list
different from the default user language list, the first
time after installation of the database, the default user
language list will be used.
Follow the following steps to solve this issue:
1. Connect the PC to the CCU.
2. Create an empty names file.
3. Close the database application.
4. Open the empty names file in the start up
application.
5. The next time that you open the database
application, the user language list will be matched
with the CCU and the issue will be solved.
The problem described is a known problem of the
Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP operating system.
Detail and solution can be found in the following
documents:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;ENUS;314452 (windows XP)
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;ENUS;254914 (windows 2000)
Do not connect optical devices or change optical
cables while the system is operational. Always restart
the complete system after connecting or
disconnecting optical devices.
The system might become (very) slow when in a multi
CCU system only the NCO is switched off and the
rest of the system stays switched on.
To prevent this problem:
Shutdown all optical devices in the Multi-CCU system.
