ACTIVote User Guide 

7 

Channel – This allows you to set ACTIVote devices to use one of three unique 

channels. 

Board ID – This allows you to set the ACTIV board to be defined with one of 99 
unique ID numbers. 

Therefore with systems in close proximity, you should set the channel and 
Board ID to different values in each room. Continuing with our example, you 

could set the following values: 

Room 1 :  Channel = 1 and Board ID = 1 

Room 2 :  Channel = 2 and Board ID = 2 

Whilst potential interference problems are negligible when systems are over 20 

meters apart, it is good practice to always set different board IDs and channel 
numbers for ACTIVote systems within the same building. 

Once you have chosen the appropriate channel and board ID, perform the 
following: 

Click on the Register button. 

The registration button of the ACTIVote image will flash with a yellow border to 

indicate that the program is now waiting for you to register the first device. 
The top row of the list will highlight in red, this indicates that the ACTIV board 

is in registration mode and is searching for signals from any ACTIVote device. 

Take the first ACTIVote device and depress the Registration button, hold it 
down until you see the red LED flash briefly followed by a longer intermittent 

flash from the green LED. You will see the ACTIVote device has been registered 
and allocated a device name. The red highlight has moved down a line, waiting 

for the next device to be registered. 

Repeat the above procedure for each device you wish to register. 

Once you have successfully registered all devices click on the Stop button.  

Each device is automatically given a Device 
Name (A1, A2, A3 etc). It is possible to assign 
any name you wish to each device. These names 

will be used later within the software in 
Anonymous mode and are an easy way for you 

to monitor which devices are registered.  

Click into the Device Name field and type in a 
suitable name that would uniquely identify the 

device.
