Design Status

• Device – The name of the Core as defined in Q-SYS Designer.
• Design – The name of the currently running design.
• Status –
  • OK – Audio is good, hardware is good.
  • Compromised – Audio is good but a redundancy mechanism is active (one LAN down but the other is still up) or a non-fatal hardware problem exists (fans too slow, temperature higher than expected, etc.)
  • Fault – Audio is not passing, or hardware is malfunctioning or mis-configured
  • Missing – A piece of hardware, defined in the design, has not been discovered. Audio is not passing through that piece of hardware.
  • Initializing – Starting the firmware, configuration update, and the design. Audio is obviously bad.
  • Not Present – A virtual component in the design, that is designated as Dynamically Paired, and Not Required, has no hardware assigned to it.

System Status

• Firmware – A three-section number identifying the major release, minor release, and maintenance release. For example, 5.0.06.
• Temp – The current chassis temperature of the Core.
  • Compromised threshold = 60° C
  • Fault threshold = 70° C
• Fan Speed – This number varies with the temperature.

LAN A

• Static or Auto – Displays next to LAN A, indicates if the Core's IP Address is Static or Automatic.
• IP Address – The IP Address assigned to the Core's LAN A. LAN A is the primary Q-LAN connection to the Core, and is required.
• Net Mask – The Net Mask assigned to the Core.
• Gateway – The Gateway assigned to the Core.

Note: You can edit this information in Q-SYS Core Manager.

LAN B

LAN B is used for redundancy, and is not required. The information is the same as LAN A.

Input / Flex In Channels Status

The Input and Flex Input screens show the Mute, Clip, Signal, and +48V (phantom power) for the eight Mic/Line input channels.

• Mute – Displays a "muted loudspeaker" when the channel is muted.
• Clip – Displays a solid circle under the channel having an input signal that is overdriving the associated channel input.
• Signal – Displays a solid circle when there is a signal present on the associated channel.
• +48V – Displays a solid circle when the phantom power is turned on for the associated channel.

Note: If the Flex channel is set to Output, there is no information for that channel on the Flex In screen.

Output / Flex Out Channels Status

The Output and Flex Output screens show the Mute, Clip, and Signal, for the eight Mic/Line output channels.

• Mute – Displays a "muted loudspeaker" when the channel is muted.
• Clip – Displays a solid circle under the channel having an output signal over driving the associated channel output.
• Signal – Displays a solid circle when there is a signal present on the associated channel.

Note: If a Flex channel is set to Input, there is no information shown under the same channel on the Flex Out screen.
