If accidentally a wrong country code is chosen during setup, there is no other way to change it in except for re-doing the setup, which in effect erases all prior  changes made to the configuration. This article describes a way to set the country code without having to re-run the setup completely.

Audio is disrupted in a multi-CCU system, most likely after first install, re-install or reset of a multi-CCU system.

Description: The RESTful API of the CCS1000D is used in order to get a clear view of the state of the discussion devices’ microphones (amongst other things). However, when a Priority call is made, the other speakers still show as active even though they are muted in reality. Solution: This is actually as it' supposed to work. The reason the speakers still show as active is because they remain in the speaker list while the priority call comes through (in this case, the chairperson making an announcement overruling all other parties) is that in the system there’s a difference between speakers being muted and speakers being removed from the speaker list. In this case, after the priority call ends, the speakers are unmuted and can resume the discussion. It’s also possible to configure the system to stop all speakers and remove all waiting participants from the request list. If the system is setup in this way and the chairperson starts speaking, the system will indeed erase all other speakers and waiting speakers. The API can be used to create a custom interface. This means that logic can be added so the preferred outcome is created. In this case it means that the custom interface needs to poll for the speakers list but also needs to take in account that when a priority call comes through (also pollable) this means the others are muted. Using these two givens can then be used to for example change the icons of the speakers to a ‘muted’ state in the custom interface.

In order to add authorizations to an existing license, the current license key is required as well as the new authorization numbers. How to find this key is detailed in another article: How to find the license key loaded in a DCN-CCU2 Follow the next steps for adding the new authorizations: Go to https://license.boschsecurity.com Fill in the CCU's Serial Number and CHK: Enter the current license key (this is found on the license key document received after activating the previous authorization numbers). In the following windows the license information is shown and it's possible to add additional authorization numbers. If multiple authorization numbers need to be added, choose "Next Authorization" If all authorization numbers are added, choose "Finish register" Next window will give the opportunity to register a spare CCU if applicable. A last verification is done in the next window, if things need to be changed, the process goes back to step 4. The license key with all information is shown on the next page. Note that the Print button doesn't work in all browsers, for this refer to "Printing the License Key document to PDF" Upload the license key into your CCU or NCO. The Bosch ‘download and license tool’ is to be used to upload your license into a CCU2.

Question Can a CCU be used in the same DCN-NG system as a CCU2 or CCUB2? Answer No, this is not possible. Mixing CCUs and CCU2/CCUB2s in a DCN-NG system is not supported. It’s also not possible to use a CCU as a spare unit in case of failure of a CCU2/CCUB2 in a DCN-NG system.

Ping messages are coming through, but the connection messages are not. This could for example have to do with a firewall blocking messages.
