1.1 About Intercom
1.1.1 What is Intercom?
The Intercom module is one of the software modules
designed for monitoring and controlling conferences
and discussions using the contribution equipment.
Intercom provides a means of setting up and
controlling 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
• From interpreter to chairman
• 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 intercom handset. This unit can be attached to
chairman and delegate 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 4185) or the screen line assigned
using Delegate Database (LBB 4180). 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
software modules in that it is automatically activated
from an iconized state if an intercom call is made by
a participating delegate.
The number of 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 6. The first channel is used for
busy and ring-tones, the other channels are the actual
intercom channels so the maximum number of
simultaneous calls possible is 5. When no channels
are assigned for intercom purposes, the Intercom
software module cannot be used.
i Note
It is not possible to start Intercom if 30 or more
language channels have been selected in the
System Installation module.
