Status (NL Series, NM Series, QIO Series)

The Status component for the NL Series network loudspeakers and QIO Series network expanders provides health information about these devices, including overall status, network information, detected power, and audio stream health (as applicable).

Refer to these hardware topics for an overview of NL Series and QIO Series peripherals:

Tip: For additional properties not listed, refer to the Properties Panel help topic for more information.

NL, NM, and QIO Properties

Is Network Redundant

Select whether the device is connected to redundant networks.

PoE+ Enable

(NL Series only) Determines whether the loudspeaker advertises itself on the network as a PoE+ capable device, which affects how the loudspeaker uses the PoE power budget of the connected power supply. The default is 'No' (disabled).

  • If set to 'Yes' and the loudspeaker is connected to a PoE+ Type 2 Class 4 capable power supply, the output is boosted and the Power > PoE+ control turns green.
  • If set to 'Yes' and the loudspeaker is not connected to a PoE+ Type 2 Class 4 capable power supply, the Power > PoE+ control is off and the Power > PoE control turns green.
  • If set to 'Yes' but the connected power supply fails to allocate full PoE+ power to the loudspeaker, the Status changes to Compromised.

Verbose

When set to 'Yes', a Details section appears in the control panel that displays device statistics and any errors, along with a Reset button to reset the statistics to zero.

Status

Status ID

Click to flash the Status LED (yellow) under the NL Series loudspeaker grille or the ID LED (green) on the front of the QIO Series peripheral. The indicator flashes indefinitely until you press the ID button again.

Status

Component status is conveyed with the Status LED and Status box, which uses both color and text to indicate the current condition:

  • OK: The device is functioning normally.
  • Initializing: The device is in the process of a firmware or configuration update, or the design is starting.
  • Compromised: The device is functioning, but a non-fatal problem exists. Refer to the Status box for details.
  • Missing: The device cannot be discovered.
  • Fault: The device is malfunctioning or is not properly configured. Refer to the Status box for details.
  • Unknown: This status appears during a Core reboot (for example, during a firmware update), or when a design is being uploaded to the Core and before it has started running.
  • Not Present: If applicable to the device, this status appears when the device is not connected to the network and its Is Required component property is set to 'No'. This status also appears if the device component's Dynamically Paired property is set to 'Yes', pairing has not been assigned in Core Manager, and the device component's Is Required property is set to 'Yes'. See Dynamic Pairing.

Clock Offset

This indicates how much of an offset exists, in microseconds, between the peripheral and the network Grandmaster. Not applicable to QIO Series Control I/O Expanders.

Grandmaster

This indicates the current clock master of the network. Not applicable to QIO Series Control I/O Expanders.

Parent Port

The clock Parent Port is the device and interface name to which the device is syncing. Typically, this is the Grandmaster. Not applicable to QIO Series Control I/O Expanders.

Processor Temp

The current temperature, in Celsius, of the peripheral's central processing unit.

Chassis Temp

For QIO Series Audio I/O Expanders only , this is the current temperature, in Celsius, of the device chassis.

Chassis Fan

For QIO Series Audio I/O Expanders only , this indicates the current RPMs of the device chassis fan.

Details

This section only appears when the Verbose property is set to 'Yes', and displays device statistics and any error conditions. Click Reset Details to clear the information.

Reset Details

This section only appears when the Verbose property is set to 'Yes'. Click this button to reset the information in the Details field.

Audio Stream

Note: This section appears only for NL Series peripherals.

Output Ok

This LED glows green when the QLAN audio stream is successfully being received by the loudspeaker.

Power

The controls shown in this section depend on the connected device.

Note: See the PoE+ Enable property description for more information.

PoE

Glows green if the loudspeaker is not connected to a PoE+ Type 2 Class 4 capable power supply.

PoE+

Glows green if the loudspeaker is connected to a PoE+ Type 2 Class 4 capable power supply.

PoE Active

Glows green when the device is connected to a PoE power supply.

DC Power

Glows green when the device is connected to a DC power supply.

Note: Available control pins depend on the specific peripheral model.
