Enterprise Manager requires that your Q-SYS Core can access the Internet. If your network topology allows it, provide Internet connectivity via the LAN-B or AUX network interfaces.

1. In the Core Manager menu, go to Core Management > Network Settings.
2. Click Edit to modify the values.
3. Consult your IT administrator and enter the appropriate IP Address, Net Mask, and Gateway to enable Internet access for the Q-SYS Core.

   Note: Only one network interface on any network device, including the Q-SYS Core, should be configured with a Gateway. Consult your IT administrator if you need assistance.

4. Enable DNS, which is required for proper Q-SYS Core Internet connectivity. DNS servers are available from your IT administrator, or you can use public DNS servers such as those provided by Google (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).

Enterprise Manager requires that you enable NTP to sync the Q-SYS Core's time and date to an NTP server. Consult your IT administrator for an appropriate server. Alternatively, you could use public NTP servers such as those provided by Google (time1.google.com and time2.google.com).

1. In the Core Manager menu, go to Core Management > Date & Time.
2. If NTP is not already enabled:
   • Click Edit.
   • Select the box to enable NTP.
   • Add at least one NTP server to the list, and then click Save.

Enable Access Control for the Q-SYS Core you will be managing with Enterprise Manager.

1. In the Core Manager menu, go to Core Management > Users.
2. Follow the instructions in the See Users topic to enable an Administrator user account on your Q-SYS Core.

For network security reasons, use Network Services to disable all unnecessary services on the LAN interface with Internet access.

1. In the Core Manager menu, go to Core Management > Network Services.
2. Click the Management tab.
3. Click Edit.
4. For the LAN interface with Internet access (for example, LAN B), we recommend deselecting all services except for Q-SYS Designer Communications – Secure. (This service cannot be disabled, and is required for communication with Q-SYS Reflect.)

Note: The Q-SYS Core uses an outbound connection on port 443 (HTTPS and WSS) to connect with the Q-SYS Reflect cloud. Since this is a standard IT device connection, additional network or firewall configuration should not be necessary.
