4 How to connect
4.1 Power up
After applying the 24V adapter to the power supply socket and switching the device on, the
first LED blinks white. This means the system is booting.
Note: If the LED does not switch to green after some minutes or it turns red, please contact
your support team.
4.2 Accessing the web-browser
To access the web-browser connect the LAN connector directly to your computer or to the
LAN network which includes your computer.
The default IP address is 192.168.1.110. Please make sure that your PC has an IP address
and subnet mask that can access that IP address.
4.3 Login wizard
When you enter the web-browser for the first time you will be guided through a small wizard
for initial setup of the system.
4.4 Introduction
The WCAP has a built-in web server that allows you to set/monitor certain parameters
characterizing the wireless conference system.
The following is a step-by-step guide to give you a general idea of how to access your
WCAP.
First time access
STEP 1 – PC IP setup
In order to access the built-in web server for the first time, the TCP IP settings from the PC
or MAC must be modified. A fixed IP address has to be set. Therefore follow the instructions
below.
Note:
The WCAP has a default fixed IP address and subnet mask:
IP: 192.168.1.110
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
4 How to connect
9
- Gotothe‘ControlPanel’
- Click on Network and sharing center
- Click on Change adapter settings
- Right-click on Local Area Connection
- Double on Properties
- Click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
- Click Properties
Static IP address WINDOWS 7
- Input your IP Address and subnet mask the IP addresses
on the network must be within the same range.
- The default IP address from the WCAP is 192.168.1.110
so the computer should have an IP Address that is within
the same subnet, like 192.168.1.11 and 192.168.1.20.
The subnet mask must be the same for all equipment on
the network: 255.255.255.0)
- Click OK
Assigning a fixed IP Address in WINDOWS 7
- Enter the IP Settings op the PC
- In this example the PC has normally “10.0.40.85” as IP
address.
- Click on Advanced and add a new IP address that is in the
range of the access point, for example 192.168.0.26 and
subnet mask 255.255.0.0
- Click to add
10
- Click OK
STEP 2 - Accessing WCAP
Open Internet Explorer or any other browser
(with the computer connected to the WCAP)
Enter 192.168.1.110 or wcap3.local into the Address Bar, press Enter
A wizard will guide you through the initial system setup:
- Choose your language
- Then you can choose to be notified when updates are available. This requires that the WCAP has
a connection to the internet.
- In the next item you have to fill in a hostname. This is a name which can be associated with the
device for easy recognition in the system. Also when you have multiple WCAPs running
simultaneously, you will be able to identify which frequencies are used by which hosts
4 How to connect

- After you’vecompleted the wizard you needto login. The default loginandpassword
are
Login: admin
Password: admin
4.5 Return to factory settings
If the ip address is not known then a return to factory settings (default ip address) is possible by
pressing the reset button next to the middle antenna , during 10 sec , and release the button .
Following screens will appear while pushing reset button and wait until the circle is completed
whenreleasingresetbutton…

5.1 Compatibility
The webserver is compatible with various types of mobile and desktop devices
5 Web server
13
5.2 Navigating through the webserver
Click on either of the available icons and navigate through the menu b.m.o. the scrollbar
After entering a submenu , use the arrow to go back to the main menu
=> home button
=> unit monitoring menu
=> settings menu
=> initialization menu
=> delegate unit manager
=> security settings
14
=> frequency settings
=>c onference options
=> Aux control
=> regional settings
=> network settings
=> login settings
=> update screen
=>message screen
=> system information
5.3 Changing IP address
First we will change the IP address of the system. To do this you have to go to the settings.
This can be done by clicking the settings icon.
5 Web server
15
Then scroll all the way down until you see the following icon which indicates the
network settings.
In this menu you define:
- Hostname
- Address mode (Static – DHCP)
Static: in this mode the IP address and subnet mask is fixed and must be provided in the
appropriate fields.
DHCP: DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol and is a protocol used by the WCAP
to obtain the parameters necessary for operation in an Internet Protocol network automatically.
This protocol reduces system administration workload, allowing the WCAP to be added to the
network with little or no manual configuration.
There must be a DHCP server on the network that dynamically assigns IP addresses when using
the DHCP setting.
- IP address
Here you can enter the desired fixed IP address. Only applicable in fixed IP address mode.
- Subnet mask
- Gateway setting
16
We advise to change the IP address. This will prevent conflicts when multiple access points
with the same IP address are in the network.
5.4 Initialization
In stand-alone mode, the
WCAP
supports two kinds of access: open access and
controlled access.
- Open access: This is the default mode. Any unit can connect to the WCAP without
initialization procedure
- Controlled access: a unit can only connect after going through an initialization
procedure.
5.4.1 Controlled Access
In this mode, a manual initialization is required.
The manual initialization procedure requires the use of the 3 buttons on the web server
displayedabove:“Openinit”,“Closeinit”and“Clearinit”.
Take the following steps to initialize all units:
1) Switch on all wireless units
5 Web server
17
2) As long as no WCAP was discovered , the mic leds wil flash green slowly
3) When the units have discovered the WCAP. This is indicated by both mic leds blinking
red slowly
4) Selectthe“ClearInit”,toclearanypreviouslycreatedinitializationlist.
5) Start thenewinitializationbyselectingthe“Open Init”button.
Afteryoustartedthenewinitialization,theredMicrophoneStatusLED’sonallwireless
units will start to blink red .
Mic leds blinking red at a rate of 2Hz is an indication that the units are trying to connect
to the Wcap
Mic leds blinking red at a rate of 1Hz is an indication that the units are waiting for the
initialization
6) To add a unit to the initialization list, press the microphone button of the unit to add.
7) The LEDs will turn green indicating that the unit has been added to the initialization list.
8) Repeat step 5 for each unit that needs to be added.
9) Whenfinished,stopandsavetheinitializationbypressingthe“Closeinit”button,
Only the units that have been initialized will now be able to join the conference.
The init list is stored in the
WCAP
and stays in memory even after switching the
WCAP
off.
Next time the
WCAP
and delegate units are switched on, only these units will be allowed to
connect to the WCAP.
5.5 Unit Manager
The unit manager allows to:
- Define delegate names
- Define groups
18
As you can see there are two main parts, the left column is the list of delegates; the right
column is the list of groups. Each delegate shows an array of information, from left to right:
- Autonomy
- Version
- Serial number
- Packet loss (if any)
In rare cases it may appear that the delegates background is red, this means the delegate is
running a golden version. Although this works, we strongly advice to reapply the update so that
these units can be used to their full potential.
5.5.1 Define groups
A group is defined by two parameters:
- Group name
- Group color
Youcanmakeanewgroupbyclickingonthe“Addnewgroup”button.
Add a group name and select (optionally) a group color. Press enter to save the group.
Editing the group can be done by right-clicking (or swiping) on the group entry. A small
popup appears to edit or remove the group.
5.5.2 Define delegate names and assign to group
Right-click (or swipe) on the delegate you want to group. A small popup appears, click on
edit.
5 Web server
19
Change the name; assign delegate to group. Enter to save settings.
Note: clearing the initlist will also clear the delegate names, but not the group
5.5.3 Remove delegate
Right – click (or swipe) on the delegate
Clicking or remove will delete the delegate unit from the initlist. This feature is only useful
when manual init is used.
5.5.4 Visualize delegate names or numbers in unit manager
=> shows first 3 characters of the delegates name in the delegate icon , firmware
version , battery status and serialnumber
=> shows first character of the delegates name in the delegate icon, firmware
version , battery status and serialnumber
20
=> shows delegate unit nr in the delegate icon, firmware version , battery status
and serialnumber
5.6 Unit monitoring
To monitor the delegate ujnits activity and/or control the mcirophones select the icon in the main
menu
A group overview now appears.
Each group info can be expanded or collapsed by means of the or button
=> List by delegate names
=> List by groupnames
=> List by first character of the delgates name
=> List by delegate unit number
=> show first 3 characters of the delegates name in the delegate icon , delegate
name and group , when microphone is on
=> show first character of the delegates name in the delegate , delegate name and
group , when microphone is on
=> shows delegate unit nr in the delegate icon ,delegate name and group , when
microphone is on
5 Web server
21
5.7 Activating microphones
Microphones can be activated by clicking on the delegate name in the monitoring screen
Microphones control button can be activated activated by right click on the delegates name
Activated microphones are indicated by following icon
Microphones in request ar are indicated by following icon
5.7.1 Disconnected units
If delegate units are disconnected or lost RF link with the WCAP due to removed or depleted battery for
instance, to long distance from WCAP ..they are shown as greyed out in the monitoring screen
A unit that lost connection to the wcap will be shown greyed out after +/_ 30 sec
5.8 Conference options
5.8.1 Max active microphones
Max 6 microphones can be on at the same time .
Chairman units always have priority and if max is reached , microphone of the delegate units
will be deactivated to allow chairman units to switch on their microphone . In this case the
microphone of the delegate unit which was switched on the longest , will be deactivated
automatically .
22
5.8.2 Microphone modes
5.8.2.1 Operator
only operator can activate microphone via webserver or Cocon software
5.8.2.2 Direct speak:
Enables the participant to turn on or off his microphone at any time. The only limitation here is the
maximum number of microphones that may be active simultaneously.
=> When this option is on and the the maximum active microphones setting is
reached, activation of an additional microphone will automatically switch off the microphone that was
active for the longest time. Again, the chairmen units can always be activated.
5.8.2.3 Request:
Enables the participant to send a request to speak to the chairman or conference operator by pressing
the microphone button (or to cancel his request by pressing the microphone button again). Once the
floor is requested, the first one in the queue has blinking green mic leds , the other ones have fixed
green mic leds, this means that the delegate unit is in request mode.
The chairman or conference operator grants the participant the permission to speak by using the NEXT
button or by activating the microphone via Cocon software , if used.
=> this option allows the participant to cancel his own request by pressing the
microphone button again
5.8.2.4 Group discussion:
Any microphone can be switched until the maximum active microphones setting is reached. Other
participants can switch their microphone in request mode. The first applicant who requested the floor
gets the floor when one of the currently active microphones is turned off .
When a chairman pushes the NEXT button , the microphone which was active the longest time , will be
switched off and the first one in the request queue will be switched on
The first one in the queue has blinking green mic leds , the other ones have fixed green mic leds
5.8.2.5 VOX
Is similar to direct speak + interrupt possible , but microphones are switched on by voice detection
Vox Treshold
Determines the sound level needed to activate the mic by VOX
5 Web server
23
VOX treshold is to be chosen in such way that a microphone is switched on directly after the person
begins to speak.
A threshold setting whichs to high might result in a microphone not being switched on or switched on
to late.
A threshold setting which is to low might results in a microphone being switched on by ambient sound
Also the microphone preset setting will influence the choice of the Treshold level .
Vox Time out
The microphone will be switched off when the Vox threshold level is not reached during the amount of
seconds set in the Vox time out
A Vox time out setting which is to low might result in interrupted audio when there is a pause or low
passage in the audio.
Vox Pencil drop suppression
Avoids accidental microphone activation because of short sounds. This setting may cause a short mic
activation delay
General remark on use of VOX :
A high microphone preset combined with strong audio input may result in the perception that the VOX
activation is to slow due to the limiter release time.
5.8.2.6 Last microphone remains on
When this option is set , the audio of the last delegate microphone which was switched off, still
captures the sound , this way acting as an ambient microphone. In this situation the mic ringled and
mic leds are not on anymore .When any othermicrophoneisswitchedonagain,the“ambient”
microphone is then switched off.
The chairman unit is not affected by this feature
A“lastmicon”statusisindicatedasmicactivebutwithoutthemicicon
Last mic on Mic on
5.8.3 Microphone preset
Determines the sensitivity of the microphone . This chosen setting will depend on
- how close or far the person is sitting from the microphone.
- Volume of external loudspeakers if present ; a
FAR
setting + high volume of external loudpeakers
or external loudspeakers positioned close to the microphones may cause acoustic feedback
- External compressor limiter device : in this case
CLOSE
must be used as setting to allow
maximum adjustability on the external compressor-limiter device (see also AUX control settings)
24
5.9 AUX Control
The Confidea G3 WCAP has one auxiliary input and one auxiliary output
5.9.1 AUX In/out
status : switches off or on the Aux input
level : volume adjustment
Professional level : 2 inputlevel ranges are possible :
OFF (= Consumer level) : nominal level -10DBV , max input level +10dBV
ON (= Professional level) : nominal level +4dBu , max input level +24dBu
The professional level setting should be set equal for both Aux In and Aux Out
5.9.2 General Aux settings - Audio routing
5.9.2.1 None
No additional audiorouting is done
5 Web server
25
5.9.2.2 Distance conferencing
Distance conferencing (= N-1) option adds external signal , via aux in , to the local floor signal and
sends the local floor signal , via aux out , to the remote party.

Language : In the regional settings the webserver language setting can be changed
Region : the selected country or region will determine which frequencies can be used
according to local regulations
5.11 Security
The security uses a AES 128 bit encryption.
The system has a built-in default factory encryption key. To increase the security even
further, or to make sure only specific delegate units can connect to the wcap , another random
encryption key can be generated and uploaded. This key will be send to all delegates connected
to the system. Once other encryption option is selected only those units having the encryption
will be able to log onto the system.
If a unit needs to be added to the system, default encryption needs to be selected first.
5 Web server
27
5.12 Check firmware versions of delegate units
If the firmware version does not correspond with the uploaded file , for some units , the update needs
to be redone to ensure all units have the same firmware version .
This can be checked via the unit monitoring list
=> shows # microphones activated and provides shortcuts to unit monitoring and
frequency setting menu

8 Guidelines on optimal WCAP setup
and configuration
8.1 Positioning the Confidea Wireless Access Point
Attention: Do not place the WCAP behind obstacles like walls , cabinets, panels, projection screen,
glassscreensetc…,astheysignificantlyreduceRFsignal strength and quality
Below you can find how to select a correct positioning of the WCAP.
Note : When the antennas of the WCAP are positioned very close to a wall or ceiling , this may result
in absorption of the RF signal , which can decrease RF signal quality.
8.2 Optimizing the position the antennas
Note :It is important not to point the antennas directly to the units
Choosing the correct angle of the antennas in relation to the position of the delegate units is beneficial
to a good overall RF link quality between WCAP and delegate units
36
8.3 Max range of WCAP
AsingleWCAPhasarangeof30min“openfield”. However the max range can be significantly less
depending on the positioning of the WCAP itself and direction of the antennas in relation to the position of
the delegate units.
Note : Certain buildingmaterials like concrete , or metal may absorb part of the RF signalradiation,
resulting in a reduction of the max distance between the access point and units
9 Frequency Planning
37
9 Frequency Planning
9.1 Use with WiFi base stations nearby
If more than one WCAP or Wifi accesspoints are in the same room or within 30m. range , it is
strongly advised that not more than one of them uses automatic frequency selection , to avoid that the
frequencyscanning is disturbed by the other accesspoint(s) . If multiple accesspoints are used within
eachother’sreach,manualfrequencyselection based on frequency planning is strongly recommended
to avoid that wifi access points and Confidea WCAP would use the same frequencies
When the Confidea wireless system is set to manually selected the wireless carrier frequency, then you
must make sure the Confidea wireless carrier does not overlap the already occupied WiFi wireless carrier
channels.
When using manual frequency selection in 5gHz band , ideally the frequency selection is done in such
waythatbetween2usedfrequencies,thereisa40Mhz“distance”toavoidinterferencebyRFsidebands.
9.2 Avoiding interference b.m.o. wifi collection points
ThetransmissionmodebetweenWDU’sandWCAPisspeciallydesignedto be used in very challenging
environments where a high density of wifi signals is present due to wifi access points as well as so called
smart devices , which may cause RF interferences
Wifi devices such as smartphones , I-Pads…..maysendregularprobingsignalsovertheentire wifi
band to search for a wifi connection. This probing can cause temporary interference and will continue until
a wifi connection was established. When a large number of wifi devices is present in the room , these
probing signals may cause WDU connection loss due to saturation of the used frequency .
Therefore it is strongly recommended that a wifi collection point is set up, so wifi devices can lock on
to them and this way reduce further the risk of interference.
Note : The wifi access points must have sufficient capacity to ensure wifi connection for all
present wifi devices .
If there is not a sufficient wifi connection capacity for the present mobile wifi devices ,
unstable functionality of the Confidea wireless system due to interference can not be
excluded !

10.1 Introduction
WiththereleaseofConfideaGen3we’vechangedtheCoConlicensefilelocationfromthePCwhere
the Room Server is installed, to the device to which CoCon will be connecting. This means that now you
do not need to send us the MAC address of your PC but the MAC address of your Confidea Gen 3 Access
Point. This way the license is independent of the computer onto which the CoCon Room Server is running,
the license will allow only 1 concurrent connection and the software will adapt automatically to the license
modules which are active in the license file.
To obtain the MAC address of the Confidea Gen 3 WCAP please follow the procedure underneath.
