If there are no intercom channels assigned in
the System Installation module, then it will not
be possible to open the Intercom module, and
the Intercom icon will be grayed out.
i Note
It is not possible to start Intercom if 30 or more

System Installation module.
The software uses two user-created files that contain
important information about the installed hardware
configuration and about delegates’ names. These files
are:
• Installation file - containing information about
channel assignment and the numbers that have
been assigned to all microphones connected to
the system. These seat numbers are assigned
using the System Installation software (LBB 4185).
• Names file - containing information about the
name, seat number and other conference and
personal details of participating delegates. Names
files are created using the Delegate Database
software (LBB 4180).
The software modules may be started up from the
Startup main window without specifying either an
installation or names file. However, some software
modules will not run without the appropriate
installation or names file.
Intercom makes use of the information contained
both in an installation file and a names file. The
screen line as specified in a names file is used by
Intercom to define delegates. The seat numbers
assigned using System Installation and contained in
an installation file are also used. The number of
communication channels to be used for intercom
purposes is also assigned using System Installation
and contained in an installation file.
Selecting an installation- (and a names) file
For details on selecting an installation- (and a names)
file, please refer to the Startup user manual (LBB
4190).
The Intercom icon
For details on the Intercom icon and how to start
Intercom from Startup, please refer to the Startup
