Core 110f
With an abundance of acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), raw processing power and networked audio channel count, the Q-SYS Core 110f offers the best cost-to performance ratio of any in-room processing solution available. This smaller core is ideal for acoustic echo canceling and sound reinforcement in small to large meeting or multipurpose rooms, sound reinforcement in performance venues such as house of worship and theater, background music systems, and wide area paging in airports, convention centers, and hospitals.

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 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.
