All audio inputs and outputs use one 3-position, 3.5mm Euro connector for each channel. GPIO uses one 10-position 3.5mm Euro connector for each row. Configure all inputs and outputs in Q-SYS Designer.

1. Mic/Line Inputs – eight channels, balanced or unbalanced, phantom power – orange
2. Flex Channels – eight user-configurable input/output channels, balanced or unbalanced, phantom power on inputs – blue
3. Mic/Line Outputs – eight channels, balanced or unbalanced - green

The following connections use the black Euro plug.

4. 12VDC, 0.2A Outputs + uses connector pins 1 and 11 (not numbered)
5. General-purpose Inputs – 16 inputs, 0-24V analog input, or contact closure (Pins labeled 1–16 equal pins 1–16 in the Q-SYS Designer GPIO Input component)
6. Earth ground – uses pins 10 and 20 (not numbered)
7. General-purpose Outputs – 16 outputs, open collector (24V, 0.2A maximum) with pull up to +3.3V (Pins labeled 1–16 equal pins 1–16 in the Q-SYS Designer GPIO Output component)

Rear Panel — Right Side

1. Telephone Line – RJ11 (6P2C)
2. Serial Number of the Core 110
3. External Power Input – Auxiliary power, 12VDC, 10A, 2-pin, 5 mm Euro connector.
4. RS232 – Transmit and receive, 3-pin, 5 mm, Euro connector
5. HDMI – for future use
6. USB Type B Device connector
7. LAN A – Q-LAN, control, VoIP, WAN streaming, AES67 etc., RJ45
8. USB Type A Host connectors (4) for future use
9. LAN-B – Redundancy, control, VoIP, etc.
10. A/C Power Input – IEC connector, 100-240V ~ 50-60 Hz, 150W, universal power supply

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.

The POTS Controller component controls the features of the Q-SYS interface with a Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS).

If you are connecting to an analog phone system, you can connect from the wall RJ-11 jack directly to Q-SYS hardware supporting a POTS connection:

• The Core 110f and Core 110c provide a single RJ-11 telephone connection.
• The CTEL4 – Analog Telephony Card provides four RJ-11 telephone connections.

If you are connecting to a digital system, you can use an FXO Gateway that has an analog POTS connection and a network connection. For more information, visit the POTS Controller topic.
