Section 1: General The CS 5 is a fully modular, highly flexible conference system. Using Ethernet technology, it provides maximum secu- rity and excellent digital audio quality. The CS 5 components can be used for any conference system from simple se- tups to the most complex systems including ID card identification; three-way voting or five-way polling; interpretation of up to 63 languages; and infrared transmission of up to seven languages. The CS 5 is extremely easy to wire, pro- gram, set up

Section 2: Notes on Wiring and System Examples 2.1 Notes on Wiring and System Configuration Important: 1. Never connect your CS5 MK.. LAN cables to any equipment (desktop or notebook computers, etc.) other ! than CS 5 system components. The LAN cables will carry a 48 V supply voltage that may damage equip- ment not designed for such voltages. 2. Make all audio and LAN cable connections before connecting any Conference System component to power. 3. To avoid damage to any system component, do not
