Peripheral Manager

Q-SYS Peripheral Manager contains a set of tools for managing Q-SYS peripherals, including I/O devices, network video endpoints, amplifiers, touch screen controllers, and page stations. Beginning with Q-SYS version 9.0, Peripheral Manager replaces many of the configuration and management functions formerly found in Configurator.

Note: Q-SYS PTZ cameras are still managed directly within Configurator. Q-SYS Core processors are managed with Core Manager.

Accessing Q-SYS Peripheral Manager

Peripheral Manager is accessible from Q-SYS Configurator (within Q-SYS Designer Software) or from a browser.

  1. Open Q-SYS Designer Software.
  2. Go to Tools > Show Configurator.
  3. In the left pane, select a peripheral from the list of discovered devices.
  4. In the right pane, click the link for Peripheral Manager.

If you already know the peripheral's IP address, use a browser to navigate to Peripheral Manager using that address. If you do not know the IP address, you can obtain it from the peripheral's front panel (if present). Press the Next button until you see the IP address. If the peripheral does not have a front panel, open Peripheral Manager from Q-SYS Configurator.
