Core Manager
Q-SYS Core Manager contains a set of tools for managing Q-SYS Core processors. Beginning with Q-SYS version 8.0, it replaces many of the configuration and management functions formerly found in Q-SYS Administrator and Q-SYS Configurator.
Accessing Q-SYS Core Manager
Q-SYS Core Manager is accessible from Q-SYS Designer or from a browser.
From Q-SYS Designer
- While connected to a design running on the Core, click the Core name hyperlink under the menu bar or click Tools > Show Core Manager. (Core Manager is not accessible from Q-SYS Designer when running a design in Emulation mode.)
- You can also access Core Manager from within Q-SYS Configurator by selecting any Core running Q-SYS 8.0 or higher.
Note: Because Core Manager uses self-signed certificates, you may see a "connection is not private" or similar warning in your browser. You may safely ignore this warning.
From a Browser
Navigate to your Core's IP address. If you do not know the IP address, you can obtain it from the Q-SYS Core's front panel. Press the Next button until you see the IP address.
Note: If Access Control is enabled, a login username and password are required to log in to Q-SYS Core Manager. For more information, see Access Management > Users.
Q-SYS Core Manager Pages
Monitoring
Status
Provides an overview of the health of the Q-SYS system, including a list of all devices in the running design and their statuses.
Event Log
View a list of logged Core events. Easily filter by severity, category, source, and date.
Core Management
Network > Basic
View and configure how the Q-SYS Core connects to the network.
Network > Date & Time
Adjust the Q-SYS Core's date, time, and time zone.
Network > Services
Disable unused network services on a per-network adapter level. See a summary of all enabled network services and protocols.
Network > SNMP
Configure SNMP access on the Q-SYS Core processor.
Network > Certificates
Install device certificates on the Q-SYS Core processor to meet organization security requirements and allow web browsers to trust connections to the Core.
Network > 802.1X
Enable or disable 802.1X for each LAN interface to comply with network security requirements.
Network > Multicast
Configure the IP address ranges used for multicast address assignment for the Q-SYS cameras, video endpoints, and AES67 transmitters in your design.
Access Management > Users
Enable Access Control, add users, and assign user roles.
Access Management > Roles
View role permissions and create custom user roles for Core management.
Licensing
Activate, back up, and restore QSC Feature Licenses on the Q-SYS Core processor.
Files
Manage audio content stored on the Q-SYS Core processor for use by the Audio Player component, Public Address (PA) system, and Softphones in your design.
Utilities
Download the Q-SYS log file (if requested by Q-SYS Support), change the Core 510i operation mode, and reboot the Q-SYS Core processor.
Reflect
Register the Core with Q-SYS Reflect Enterprise Manager and test your Core's ability to connect to the Reflect servers.
System Management
User Control Interfaces
Manage access to the UCIs contained in your design.
Telephony > Softphones
Configure Softphone global parameters and individual Softphone parameters.
Telephony > Contacts
Create Local and LDAP contact books for use by the Contact List component, which you can then use to feed dial strings into a Softphone.
Video > Cameras
View and set properties for all Q-SYS cameras in your design.
Video > Video Endpoints
Manage network settings, image content, and EDID files for the NV Series Network Video Endpoints in your design.
Dynamic Pairing
Pair a virtual Q-SYS hardware component in your design with a matching physical hardware device on the network.
