Licensing A battery powered, timed USB HASP ‘dongle’ is used for preventing unlicensed use of Lumi software as well as providing a level of security for the owner of the IML Connector System. The information contained within a licensing dongle is used to allow the use of specific Lumi software and to enable certain features and functions within it. The licence will also limit the number of IML Connector devices that may be used as part of the system. a) Plug the dongle into any available USB port on the control PC. A red LED will light up inside the casing. If the LED is flashing, wait until it is solid before proceeding. If it is the first time the dongle has been used with the PC, new hardware will be detected and device drivers installed. b) The HASP device drivers are pre-installed onto a PC with any Lumi software. c) The dongle must remain connected to the control PC for the IML Connector devices to function. d) Licensed dongles can be updated with new functionality and timing information without having to be returned to Lumi. e) The licence will expire at a certain date and time. Users need to ensure it is updated before re-using. f) When required, an update file is generated by Lumi and sent to the user. Important The IML Connector System will not operate without a valid licensing dongle. Tip Lumi recommends that the dongle is kept in a safe and secure place when not being used, and that it is insured to the value of a replacement licence. Page 8 IML Connector 5. Charging This section describes the process for charging IML Connector devices using an IML Multidock or IML Minidock. Whilst there are slight differences in the below instructions between the two dock devices, functionality remains the same. › IML Multidock a) Remove the cover of the charging case. b) If not already in the IML Multidock (i.e. ‘docked’), return the IML Connector devices to the charging rack. c) Connect the IEC power lead to the rear of the charging case. d) Once powered, the fan built into the IML Multidock will start. This is designed to circulate air around the IML Connector devices and prevent overheating whilst charging. e) The charging process will start straight after the initial boot up phase of the IML Connector devices (taking approximately 30 seconds). The ‘traffic light’ colour coding on the device’s status LED will then indicate the current level of battery charge. f) Important Always charge the IML Connector devices with the case cover removed. Once power is connected to the dock, the ON/OFF button on the front can be used to cycle through different power states (by pressing and holding). The colours of the two LED lights next to the power button (i.e. the left-hand side of an IML Multidock) indicate the power state of the dock (see the next page for further details). Reminder Whilst charging, the status LED on the IML Connector device will flash depending on its current battery level… Red Amber Green › IML Minidock An IML Minidock (pictured on the right) offers the same docking and charging functionality as an IML Multidock, for 10 IML Connector devices. IML Minidocks require a separate power supply unit and cannot be powered with the same IEC power lead as an IML Multidock. Page 9 0 – 90% 91 – 99% 100% IML Connector › OFF Power is connected to the dock, but it is in the OFF state. Devices will not charge. › ON - Radio Off Power is connected to the dock and it is in the ON state. The devices will charge but will not connect by radio to the Lumi system (if running). › ON - Radio On Power is connected to the case and the radio is switched on. Devices will charge, but will also connect to the IML system (if running). Reminder › If the status LED on an IML Connector device isn’t flashing, it is not charging. Check the device is correctly inserted into the dock. › To toggle between the two different ON states, press and hold the power button on the IML Multidock or IML Minidock. If an IML Connector device battery is completely flat (i.e. won’t turn on), it may take a short period of time to start charging after being docked. › For an IML Connector device which is turned on, when the battery is critically low (approximately 1 hour remaining) a low battery warning is provided by a small battery icon ( on the device display screen. › Tip ) in the status bar An IML Connector device with a flat battery will take approximately 8 hours to charge and once the battery is fully charged will provide up to 12 hours of life (depending on level of use). Page 10 Unlike some electrical devices, the IML Connector device batteries do not need to be completely discharged before fully recharging. IML Connector › Using an IEC Mains Extension cable (supplied separately), up to 4 IML Multidocks can be ‘daisy chained’ together, requiring less mains power sockets. IML Minidocks do not have this functionality. Important If the IML Connector devices are not being used for long periods of time, it is still important to charge them on a regular basis (to maintain the battery’s performance). Page 11 IML Connector 6. › Switching On Method 1 a) If an IML Connector device is switched off, it can be turned on manually via the device’s keypad. b) Press and hold the green button. c) The LED will turn green, when indicated on the display screen, press the microphone key. d) If the microphone button is not pressed in time, the IML Connector device will not turn on and both steps need to be repeated. › Method 2 a) Turn on the control PC and wait for it to finish starting up. b) Make sure the dongle is plugged into the control PC and that the IML Connector Base Station is connected and switched on. c) Ensure that the Base Station has initialised (users will see the words “BASE STATION” on the display screen and the status LED will be blue). d) With power connected, turn the IML Multidock or IML Minidock ON and wait for the IML Connector devices to go through the boot up process. e) Remove the IML Connector devices from the dock. The devices will stay turned on whilst they search for radio signal from the IML Connector Base Station. Once they have found this and have connected, the devices will stay on. f) Important The status LED on the IML Connector device will blink (a quicker, double flash) when it is turned on. It will blink red if it is on but not connected to an IML Connector Base Station and will blink green if it is on and is connected to the Base Station. The slower, single flash indicates a device is charging. Page 12 An IML Connector device will turn off automatically after approximately 2 minutes if it does not connect to an IML Connector Base Station. Once an IML Connector device has connected to the Base Station it will not turn off. A device which is or has been connected can only be turned off manually or by using Lumi software. IML Connector › Method 3 a) Repeat the first 3 steps of Method 2 (see previous page). b) With power connected, turn the dock ON (at this point, it doesn’t matter which of the two power states is used). c) The IML Connector devices will start their boot up process. d) At any stage (users do not have to wait for the devices to finish booting up), removing the power lead from the dock will cause the devices to look for radio signal from the IML Connector Base Station and connect. e) As per Method 2, once connection with the Base Station has been established, the devices will stay turned on. › Method 4 a) Repeat the first 3 steps of Method 2 (see above). b) With power connected, turn the dock ON (Radio On, Green/Green power state LEDs). c) The IML Connector devices will start their boot up process. d) The devices will start charging, however, with the dock in this mode - they will also connect to an IML Connector Base Station if available. If an IML Connector device is inserted into a dock in this state, it will remain connected and will charge. Reminder With an IML Multidock or IML Minidock in the Radio On state, the status LED on the IML Connector device will show the single flash for charging as well as the double ‘blink’ indicating the device is connected or trying to connect. Page 13 IML Connector 7. › Switching Off Method 1 a) An IML Connector can be turned off manually via the device’s keypad. b) Press and hold both the and buttons together and press the X key on the device. c) › The device will turn off. Method 2 a) Ensure that the power lead is connected to the dock and that it is in the OFF state (Red/Red LED status). b) Put an IML Connector device back into one of the slots in the IML Multidock or IML Minidock (i.e. so it is ‘docked’). c) › The device will turn off. Method 3 a) Ensure that power is connected to the dock and set it to the ON state. b) If an IML Connector device is ‘docked’ now (i.e. inserted into an IML Multidock or IML Minidock), it will no longer connect to an IML Connector Base Station but will remain on and charging in the case. c) Press the power button on the charging case, turning it OFF. All docked devices will turn off. › Method 4 a) Using IML Connector System Manager, all connected devices can be turned off globally. b) Select Commands. c) Choose the Power OFF All option and select Yes when asked to proceed. d) Any IML Connector devices which are in signal range and connected to the IML Connector Base Station will turn off. Page 14 Tip Only use Method 4 when certain that all devices have been returned. Alarms will not sound on IML Connector devices that are powered down. IML Connector 8. Network Screen Once an IML Connector device has been turned on, it will immediately start seeking a radio signal from the IML Connector Base Station in an attempt to connect. The status LED on the IML Connector device will show a red double blink whilst it is turned on and attempting to connect. At this stage (i.e. before connecting), users will see the Network Screen on the device’s display. As soon as a device connects to an IML Connector Base Station, this is replaced by the default Home Screen (without any custom theming or branding on the devices, this is usually a Lumi or IML logo). The Network Screen contains information about the device, as well as displaying important connectivity settings… › Firmware The release and version of Connector firmware (in the above example, the device is on the ‘Habu’ release of IML Connector device firmware, version 2.30). › Important To change network settings on an IML Connector device, use the Hotkey shortcut by pressing and holding the and buttons together with N. UID Important This is the unique identity number of the device, set by the manufacturer, which corresponds with the barcode on the reverse of the device. To access certain features on an IML Connector device, a password is required. Password = › gaffer Index This is a programmable number, identifying an IML Connector device, ranging from 1 – 9,999 that allows all devices in a system to be sequentially and uniquely numbered. Page 15 Reminder If IML Smartcards are not being used to identify delegates using the IML Connector devices, the index number can be used to track an individual’s responses. IML Connector › Radio Sequence The radio sequences all use the 2.4 GHz radio spectrum. The number used here specifies a unique hopping pattern within that spectrum. . For further information on radio sequences and how these ‘map’ against wireless (i.e. WiFi) channels, please contact Lumi. › Tip For further information on getting the most out of the IML Connector system, or for a particular environment (for example - to avoid wireless interference), please contact Lumi. Network ID This is a value that determines a discreet network between an IML Connector Base Station and the IML Connector devices. In order for a device to connect to the Base Station, it must use the same network ID. Valid network IDs range from 0 – 65,535. Important The Network ID value becomes key when the User Driven Roaming feature is used on the IML Connector system. Page 16 The Network ID on an IML Connector device must match the Network ID on the Base Station for the devices to join the network. IML Connector 9. › User Driven Roaming User Driven Roaming enables a participant to choose which Network to join from a pre-determined list loaded on to the device. › Using IML Connector Configuration Tool, a list of Networks is created utilising the Network ID for each system (for example, this could be workshops or breakout sessions running in different rooms). This information is contained within a configuration file which must be deployed to all devices and the IML Connector Base Station. › The Default Network feature ensures that when a device is rebooted, it will always revert to this Network ID (this will always be the top row in the list of Networks). › With all Networks in the list (except the Default Network) the ability to enable a password (which must be entered into the device) ensures that access to certain Networks can be controlled. › When User Driven Roaming is enabled, the Network selection menu is accessed by navigating to the Settings menu on an IML Connector device. The trackball and soft keys on the device are used to navigate through the menu system. › A wireless icon indicates which Network a device has joined. A blue icon here indicates the device is connected. A gray icon shows that the device is not connected to an IML Connector Base Station configured with that Network ID. › Using the localisation options in IML Connector Configuration Tool, a variety of terms are available in different languages for use in the Network selection menu (for example, users do not have to use “Workshop” as seen in the example images on the right). Reminder To implement User Driven Roaming, a configuration file must be deployed to the IML Connector Base Station and all IML Connector devices. This is achieved by connecting devices via USB cable to a PC and using IML Connector Configuration Tool. Page 17 IML Connector 10. Utility Cards Using an IML Smartcard (supplied separately), utility cards can be created (using any IML Connector device) to perform certain functions. This usually saves time compared to performing these functions manually. Once created, inserting the utility card into any other device will automatically carry out the programmed task. Utility cards include… › Facilitator Microphone The facilitator microphone provides an additional IML Connector device microphone that can be used independently of the standard microphone feature (hereafter called the delegate microphone). The facilitator microphone is enabled by simply inserting a facilitator microphone utility card into the device. Unlike delegate microphones, the facilitator microphone can operate whilst another delegate microphone is in-use. The IML Connector Powered Base Station contains two audio outputs, A and B. The delegate microphone audio is delivered through Output A, and the facilitator microphone audio is delivered through Output B. This allows a facilitator and a delegate to have a back-and-forth conversation without needing to repeatedly open and close the two microphones. Only one facilitator microphone card can be used at a time in an IML Connector System. › Language Once a language utility card has been created, this can be used on other IML Connector devices to quickly repeat changing the language setting on a device (e.g. if a French card is created, a user will not need to manually go into individual devices’ language settings and change to French, simply inserting the card will do this instantly). › Admin When accessing settings menus on the IML Connector device (see Appendix B), a password is required to proceed. The same password as provided earlier in this document (gaffer) applies to all menus on the IML Connector device. An admin card (when inserted into a device) saves time by removing the need to type this password. Page 18 IML Connector › Net Config As seen in an earlier section (Section 8) there are some IML Connector device settings which are configurable (known as ‘Network settings’, these include Index number, Radio Sequence and Network ID). Whilst a method has been outlined (using the Hotkey shortcuts), to change these settings manually on a device, a Net Config utility card can be created to save time by automating the process. As with other utility cards, simply inserting the card into a device will automatically carry out the instructions programmed onto it. › A Net Config card will update… a) Index number (optionally set to update incrementally) b) Radio Sequence c) › Network ID To create a Utility Card… a) Insert an IML Smartcard into any IML Connector device b) Press and hold the c) and buttons together Press C on the device’s keypad d) Enter the password gaffer e) Press U and follow the on-screen instructions to create the Utility Card Page 19 Tip Network settings can be changed globally using other Lumi applications such as IML Connector Configuration Tool or IML Connector System Manager. IML Connector 11. System Manager The IML Connector System Manager application is the user interface or portal into the Lumi Hub platform (a software service which performs the core communication between control PC and IML Connector devices). › After installing Lumi software, Lumi Hub will not appear as an icon on the PC’s desktop or in the system tray. This is because it runs as a Service in the background, as opposed to an application which can be opened or closed. › Once the control PC has started up and Lumi Hub has loaded, IML Connector System Manager can be accessed via the Windows Start button (installing Lumi software does not automatically create a desktop shortcut). Start > All Programs > Lumi > IML Connector System Manager › IML Connector System Manager is installed with any Lumi software that uses it and does not require a separate installation. › IML Connector System Manager allows users to see details of their IML Connector system, ranging from how many IML Connector Base Stations and devices are connected, to the version of firmware installed and current battery levels remaining on connected devices. › IML Connector System Manager also enables the user to run operational commands such as… a) Enable/disable alarms b) Power down all devices c) Find and/or beep selected or all devices Important d) Change network settings e) Sequentially index devices f) Analyse index numbers g) Export a report of all connected devices h) Control the audio setup of the IML Connector system i) Control the microphones j) Change the displayed screens k) Log battery statistics and run battery tests Page 20 Users should always allow a period of time for the information in IML Connector System Manager to populate. Once an IML Connector device has been turned on and is connected to the IML Connector Base Station, IML Connector System Manager will need time to ‘sync’ with the device. IML Connector Handsets › Handsets Displays the number of IML Connector devices connected to Lumi Hub, with further diagnostic information. › Base Stations Displays diagnostic information relating to any IML Connector Base Stations connected to the control PC. The status table, with an example image above, shows information including… › Index The device’s numeric identifier (please see Section 8). › UID The device’s unique serial number (please see Section 8). › Status If a device is ‘seen’ successfully by Lumi Hub, it will appear here as Connected. Note that if an IML Connector device has been disconnected, this will show as Retrieving until the necessary information has been populated into the table. › Signal Displays live information in regard to the radio signal. This is a useful tool for determining the strength of radio connection and is especially key when using microphones, offering a Quality of Service (QoS) reading for audio channels. › Battery Provides live information regarding the current battery life of the devices. › Network ID The device’s Network ID (please see Section 8). › Smartcard If an IML Smartcard is inserted into a device, it is indicated here with the card’s UID › Docked Whether or not a device is inserted (‘docked’) into an IML Multidock or IML Minidock. Page 21 IML Connector Advanced View Selecting this option will expand the status table, providing additional details for IML Connector device firmware, configuration files (e.g. branding or theming) and also providing further data on battery performance. › Firmware Version The version number of IML Connector firmware installed on the device. › Config Version If a configuration file (created using IML Connector Configuration Tool) has been deployed to a device, it will display this information here. From the example table above, the Config name built into the configuration file is “ClientABC” whereas the second part of the value, i.e. “1117.51732” is the Config UID assigned by IML Connector Configuration Tool. › Current The milliamp is a unit relating to the flow of electrical charge. › Voltage Represents the amount of energy remaining in the battery. › Battery Total Capacity The amount of electrical charge the battery can store. › Battery Remaining Amount of electrical charge remaining using the total capacity figure. › Location Indicates whether IML Connector devices are connected to the PC on which IML Connector System Manager is being run (i.e. “LOCAL” will be displayed here) or if connected to an additional, networked PC using IML Connector Satellite. Please contact Lumi for more information. › Base Station The UID of the IML Connector Base Station a device is connected to. Page 22 IML Connector Screens › The Interactive Content section of IML Connector System Manager will only be available if the configuration file deployed to the IML Connector Powered Base Station contains custom screens. › For further information on custom screens and how to control the display of these on the IML Connector, please refer to Section 14 of this User Manual. Audio For further information on the Audio tab, please refer to Section 12 of this User Manual Page 23 IML Connector 12. Audio Settings › Lumi products such as Text Vote Talk and Queue utilise the built-in audio features of the IML Connector device, with subsequent sections of this User Manual outlining the operation of these. › IML Connector System Manager includes an Audio tab that allows the user to change the Audio Routing on connected devices, this is done globally (i.e. to all connected devices) and over radio. Always ensure that the correct routing is selected for the required setup. The below table, in conjunction with Appendix A (Audio Routing Diagrams), provides technical detail on how each of the 7 available routings function. IML Connector Powered Base Station IML Connector Device Off (Default) No audio functionality is enabled on the devices. This provides for a very fast vote response time Outputs A and B are disabled. No impact on battery life. Inputs A and B are disabled.

Single Output One channel of audio output is available. This provides for a fast response time Delegate microphones are available. Headphones and speakers are disabled. Output A from delegate microphone. Delegates have use of the microphones and there is no facilitator microphone required. Input A for audio transmitted to devices. Breakout sessions in close proximity where delegates do not require microphones and are issued with headphones to listen to the session. No impact on battery life when the microphone is not in use, low when it is. Single Input One channel of audio input is available. Microphones are unavailable. Audio transmitted to devices is enabled through the headphones and speakers. No impact on battery life when audio is not transmitted, low when it is. Dual Output Delegate and facilitator microphones are available. Output A from delegate microphone. Headphones and speakers are disabled. Output B from facilitator microphone. No impact on battery life when the microphone is not in use, moderate when it is. Page 24 Inputs A and B are disabled. The chairperson wants to use an IML Connector microphone simultaneously while a delegate is also using their device microphone. IML Connector IML Connector Powered Base Station IML Connector Device Example Scenario Dual Input Two streams of audio are available on the headphones; the device user can choose either stream. Stream 1 can also be routed to the IML Connector loudspeakers, Stream 2 cannot. Outputs A and B are disabled. Input A to Stream 1. The delegate and facilitator microphones are disabled. Input B to Stream 2. Simultaneous Interpretation (SI) supporting two different languages. The device user can pick the language they prefer. Heavy impact on battery life. Loopback The delegate microphone is routed directly to the headphones (and loudspeakers, if enabled). The facilitator microphone is disabled. Minor impact on battery life when the microphone is not in use, moderate when it is. Output A from delegate microphone. Inputs A and B are disabled. Route the delegate microphones directly to the IML Connector headphones or loudspeakers, without the need for an external mixing deck. Pass Through The delegate microphone is available for use. Output A from delegate microphone. The facilitator microphone is disabled. A single audio stream is available for the headphones (and loudspeakers, if enabled). Minor impact on battery life when the microphone is not in use, moderate when it is. Input A to handset headphones or loudspeakers. Audio from the delegate microphone is sent to an external mixing deck. It is mixed with other audio sources and sent back to the headphones or loudspeakers. TABLE 1: AUDIO ROUTINGS There are three further audio components that can be configured using the controls in IML Connector System Manager. These are… › Speaker › Internal Mic › External Mic (for example a lapel microphone connected to the device) Any changes made here are global and will happen to all IML Connectors devices connected to the IML Connector Base Station. The ‘Reset All Levels’ button will return all audio settings back to default. Page 25 IML Connector › To use the IML Connector device loudspeakers, ensure Mute is unchecked and the correct routing is in use. › ‘Push To Talk’ (PTT) or ‘Latch’ mode microphones can be activated on the IML Connector devices with controls in the Microphones section. › The availability of microphones is reflected beneath the Start and Stop controls. Reminder ‘Push To Talk’ (PTT) mode requires a user to keep the Microphone key pressed to open the IML Connector device microphone. ‘Latch’ mode means that a user toggles the microphone on and off by pressing the Microphone key. Page 26 IML Connector 13. Custom Screens Important The IML Connector device has the ability to display custom screens. These provide functionality to create a variety of items such as… › Agendas › Speaker biographies › Interactive menus › Lists › Text › Fixed images › Slide shows For further information please contact Lumi. Furthermore, with IML Connector Configuration Tool these screens can be setup in a way which links screens to other custom screens, enabling the creation of a menu system which IML Connector device users are able to navigate through using the soft keys and trackball. Changing Screens… › To change the screen displayed on all IML Connector devices, IML Connector System Manager must be used. a) Open IML Connector System Manager b) Go to the Screens tab c) Press the Change button d) Set the screens as desired and press OK › Custom screens and links can only be created and deployed to devices by using IML Connector Configuration Tool. The Screens tab allows the user to set the Home Screen and Link Screen. The Link Screen… Page 27 IML Connector › The Link Screen is a custom screen which, if configured, will always appear as a link in the top row of the IML Connector device menu. › The Link Screen can be changed globally over radio by following the Changing Screens instructions on the previous page. Alternatively, a default Link Screen can be setup in the IML Connector device configuration file using IML Connector Configuration Tool. › There are a number of localised names which can be used for the Link Screen label (for example “Event Information” as seen in the image on the right). A custom value can also be set here by the user, however this is not localised and is hence not translated Important when a different language is selected by the user on an IML A configuration file created in IML Connector Configuration Tool should always be deployed to all IML Connector devices AND the IML Connector Powered Base Station. This ensures that both custom screen and Link Screen options can be set globally over radio. Connector device. Reminder Reminder Custom screens are created and deployed to devices using IML Connector Configuration Tool. IML Connector System Manager can be used to change the displayed screen and Link Screen settings used on a device. Page 28 IML Connector 14. Alarm The IML Connector devices are designed with an integrated anti-theft alarm. This is a proximity alarm, meaning that as long as a device is within range of (and connected to) an IML Connector Base Station, the alarm will not activate. If a device is taken outside of radio range (approximately 150 metres in clear line of sight of an IML Connector Powered Base Station) the alarm will activate after approximately 15 seconds of loss of signal. A user is not able to switch off their device or stop the alarm, however – instructions are displayed on the IML Connector device display screen Important The IML Connector device alarm is not on by default and needs to be activated by the operator of the system. asking them to return the handset to the “event organiser”. Once a device is back within range of the IML Connector Powered Base Station and reconnects, the alarm will stop sounding. › To turn off an alarm which is sounding… a) An alarm will stop sounding when the IML Connector device is bought back into range of the IML Connector Base Station. If a device is returned and this is not possible (for Tip Alarms are controlled using the IML Connector System Manager application. example, the control PC and IML Connector Base Station have been switched off and packed away), it is still possible to turn off the device… b) Press and hold both the and buttons together and press X. This turns the device off manually. Tip ‘Docking’ an IML Connector device (i.e. returning it to the IML Multidock or IML Minidock) will stop the alarm sounding. Reminder Looking at the status bar on the IML Connector device’s display screen, an alarm symbol will be present if the alarms are enabled Page 29 IML Connector 15. Using a Handset as a Base Station Any IML Connector handset can be used as a Base Station. › To setup any IML Connector handset as a Base Station… a) Connect the data lead (USB to Hirose) to the control PC b) Plug the USB end into the PC and the other (Hirose) end of the lead into the bottom of the handset c) After several seconds, the device will re-initialise as a Base Station (indicated on the display screen). d) IML Connector devices will connect to the Base Station (this may take up to a minute) and allow normal use of the system. e) Using a handset as a Base Station will offer an effective radio range of approximately 100 metres. Page 30 IML Connector 16. Microphones Each IML Connector device has a microphone built into it. When in operation, these can be used by attendees of a meeting and provide the chance of instant input from the audience without the practical, technical or financial implications of passing a handheld Important To avoid confusion, only one delegate microphone on an IML Connector device can be open (i.e. ‘live’) at any given time. microphone around the room. MICROPHONE MICROPHONE KEY Each IML Connector device has a tally light built into the back of the device. This LED will light red to indicate that a microphone is open. This is a useful feature as it means it is easy to see who is using the microphone and where they are seated in the audience. This can be beneficial to a presenter, sound engineer or even a panel of experts on stage during a Q&A session. When microphones are enabled by an operator of the IML Connector system, users can refer to the display screen on an IML Connector device to determine the current microphone status… › MICROPHONE AVAILABLE › MICROPHONE OPEN › MICROPHONE NOT AVAILABLE Page 31 Important Audio quality may differ depending on how users hold the IML Connector device. Lumi recommend that the IML Connector device is held approximately 15 – 30 centimetres in front of the face. IML Connector Speaker Queuing Using the Lumi Queue product, IML Connector devices can be used to facilitate Speaker Queuing. This enables registered users (i.e. issued with an IML Smartcard) to join a microphone queue if they would like to speak, which can then be controlled by an Operator or chairman for example. › Participants are not able to activate or deactivate their own microphone. Instead - they are opened and closed by the controller of the queue. A speaker queue can either be generic or split into up to 8 different Queue Lines. These provide the ability for participants to register their wish to speak against a certain topic, item or motion for example. Information including the speaker’s name, time they spoke and duration they spoke for are included in reporting. Please contact Lumi for more information. When enabled, registered users can join or leave a queue by pressing the microphone button on the IML Connector device. › The Status Bar on the IML Connector device will reflect whether or not a user can join or leave a queue and if their microphone has been activated by the controller of the queue. › Users are prompted to confirm or cancel if they would like to leave a speaker queue by using the soft keys on the device. Page 32 IML Connector 17. Audio Hardware Integrated loudspeakers built into the IML Connector device mean that in some circumstances, i.e. for smaller events, the use of a PA system is not required. For large scale events, or when using Audio Routings other than ‘Dual Input’, ‘Off’ or ‘Single Input’, maximise the quality of the IML Connector device microphones by linking into a PA system or sound desk. › For smaller scale events, The IML Connector Base Station also features standard 3.5mm ‘mini-jack’ connections. Page 33 IML Connector 18. Additional Audio Features › Loudspeaker Each IML Connector device has a loudspeaker built into the back of it. In some scenarios this feature can negate the need for a PA system. The volume level and enabling/disabling of the loudspeakers is controlled using IML Connector System Manager (please see Section 13). It cannot be set manually via the IML Connector device and is a global setting (i.e. the same for all connected devices). › Headphones/Microphone Connection Example uses include for the hard of hearing or Simultaneous Interpretation (SI). The Connector has a 4-pole, 3.5mm ‘mini-jack’ socket enabling headphones (and/or a microphone) to be connected. Headphone volume is controlled with the and buttons. To utilise either of the above two features may require additional cabling, please see Section 17 for further information. Please also note that the availability of both of the above features depends on the Audio Routing in use (see Section 12 and Appendix A). Page 34 IML Connector 19. Text Messaging With products such as Lumi Text Vote Talk, participants can use the QWERTY keyboard on the IML Connector devices to send text messages to a ‘control PC’. These messages can be used to gain valuable information and insight from an audience. Additionally, system users are also able to broadcast a message to all connected devices. As well as collecting data, with a selection of options available through products such as Lumi Audience Display or Lumi Message, text messages can be displayed to an audience or to presenters/facilitators in a wide variety of formats and on a host of connected devices. Please contact Lumi for more information. › Text messages can contain a maximum of 127 characters (including spaces). › A remaining character count is displayed on the IML Connector device. Use the green square soft key to Send a message Use the red triangle soft key to Clear the message The blue trackball can be used as a cursor to navigate through the message to edit before sending › Additional messaging buttons on the IML Connector device are included below… SPACE BACKSPACE CAPS Page 35 RETURN SYMBOLS IML Connector 20. Voting A range of Lumi products provide participants with the ability to vote. Across these applications, whether dealing with a quiz question in Lumi ViewPoint, or a legal vote at a shareholder meeting, there are some basics around voting which this section outlines. › IML Connector devices allow participants to submit a response whilst a vote, or poll, is open. Votes are opened by the operator, after which all connected devices will respond. Participants can change their response during this time, however, once the vote is closed no more responses can be sent by participants as the IML Connector devices will return to the state they were previously in. › Some Lumi products may make use of timer, or countdown clock, which can aid a consistent voting process. When a clock is started the vote is open. The vote usually closes automatically once the clock has finished, after which participants can no longer submit responses on their device. › IML Connector devices must be connected to a Base Station and within radio range, otherwise they will not respond to a vote which is opened. Once opened, IML Connector devices must remain connected to the Base Station to submit a response. › Depending on the Lumi product in use, or the nature of the vote, options (or choices) can be displayed to participants on the IML Connector display screen. Participants can submit responses using one of the two methods below… a) Submit a response by pressing a number button on the IML Connector device which corresponds with their voting option. b) A response can also be submitted by using the blue trackball to highlight a choice, pressing the trackball in to select and submit. › Depending on the setting (and also on the Lumi product in use), there are usually different ways in which a participant can cancel or change their vote. Please note that instructions are always provided on the IML Connector device screen. A response can usually be cancelled by pressing the Clear or Cancel button. Some meetings may require the use of, for example, X or C buttons – which can also be used to change a response. Whilst participants can resubmit a response after clearing, they are also able to submit a new response by simply entering a new number or selecting the new option. Page 36 IML Connector 21. USB Connectivity IML Connector devices can be connected to a PC for a variety of features and functionality. All of which requires the use of IML Connector Configuration Tool. Available functions provided by this application include… › Deploying an IML Connector configuration file Custom theming or branding, enabling User Driven Roaming, configuring audio and language settings, etc. › Reporting on hardware Generating reports which contain diagnostic information on IML Connector devices. › Configuring Network settings Uniquely indexing devices, editing radio settings, etc. › Upgrading IML Connector device firmware Upgrading the firmware installed on the device to work with updated Lumi software.

The connection is located on the rear of the docking device. › An additional feature available with IML Multidocks, is that these can be ‘daisy chained’ by connecting one dock to another. This method will require less available USB ports on the PC. › Lumi recommends a maximum of six docking devices are connected to a PC at one time (this will depend on available USB ports, USB hubs, A/B USB cables, etc.) › On both docking devices, USB connectivity is indicated by the right-hand LEDs on the front of an IML Multidock or the third (i.e. right-hand) LED on the front of an IML Minidock. These LEDs will be green when a dock is successfully connected to a PC. Page 38 IML Connector 22. Attendance Tracking Providing that participants are identified in the Register and issued with IML smartcards, then system users are able to benefit from the latest Attendance Tracking feature of the IML Connector system. › Attendance tracking works by recording if an attendee’s smartcard has been inserted into an IML Connector device or not during a particular timeframe. › When generating an Attendance Report, users are able to define a start and end time. Once generated, the report will return whether or not attendees were Absent or Present during this period (see image of example report below). › An attendee is marked as Present if their smartcard was detected in an IML Connector device at any point during the timeframe set by the user when creating the report. › The Attendance Tracking report is generated using Lumi Text Vote Talk, however, this feature is still available to users of other products such as Lumi ViewPoint.
