3 Preparing for a conference
3.1 The main window
The Intercom main window is used to display
incoming intercom calls from delegates, chairmen or
interpreters, to select a destination for the calls, and
to connect the caller with the appropriate destination.
You can also initiate intercom calls yourself.
From the main window you can also access the menu
bar, which allows you to edit intercom files, set up
and delete special intercom links, alter settings and
access the Help menu.
Figure 3 The main window
The main window can be divided into three parts.
The upper part of the window is used to display
information on the person who wishes to initiate an
intercom call. The middle part is used to select a
destination for this call.
The lower part of the screen has a push button that is
used to connect the caller to the destination.
The main window contains the following elements:
• ‘Call From’ static text and display field
• Group of two ‘Connect To’ radio buttons
• List box displaying all those eligible to receive
the call using ‘Connect To’
• ‘Search’ radio buttons, push button and edit box
• Menu bar
• ‘Connect’ push button with text displaying the
number of available lines
i Note
The number of available lines depends on the
number of intercom lines specified using
System Installation. When no channels are
assigned for intercom purposes, the Intercom
software module cannot be used.
The information displayed in the ‘Call From’ display
field is dependent on who has initiated the call. The
following possibilities exist:
• ‘<Delegate/chairman screen line>, <seat number>’.
This indicates that an intercom call has been
made by a chairman or delegate, and that the
following conditions have been met:
• a names file has been opened
• a screen line has been assigned to the calling
chairman/delegate
• the chairman/delegate has been identified to
the DCN system as the user of the unit from
where the intercom call is made
i Note
The order in which this information is displayed
is determined by the ‘Search’ mode. If ‘Names’
is selected, the screen line will appear first,
followed by the seat number. If ‘Number’ is
selected, the seat number will appear first,
followed by the screen line.
• ‘<Seat number>’ indicates that an intercom call
has been made by a chairman or delegate, but no
names file has been opened, and/or no
chairman/delegate has been identified to the
DCN system as the user of the unit from where
the intercom call is made.
• ‘Interpreters Booth <N>, Desk <M>.’ This
indicates that an intercom call has been made by
an interpreter. <N> indicates the booth number
of the interpreter, and <M> gives the desk
number within the booth.
i Note
When an intercom call is made to the operator
by a user (i.e. a chairman, delegate, interpreter),
this is registered by the appearance of the
‘Connect To’ window. For more details, please
refer to paragraph 4.1.
