Front Panel – Core 110f

1. OLED Display – displays information about the core's settings and status.
2. Next button – cycles through the information pages
3. ID button – locates the Core in Q-SYS Designer GUI and Configurator
4. Power LED – illuminates blue when the Core is on
5. USB Type A Host connectors (2)

Rear Panel — Left Side

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.

Note: GPIO connections are not applicable to the Core 110f v2.

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 and are not applicable to the Core 110f v2:

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.

   Note: Auxiliary power and AC power are parallel. They can be used simultaneously. If one source of power fails, it will "fail over" to the other power source without interruption.

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

Note: The front panel OLED is not applicable to the Core 110f v2.

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.
