Status (I/O-510i)

A Q-SYS Core 510i is capable of operating simply as a peripheral I/O device. In this mode, you add the I/O-510i from the Inventory, and then configure a separate Q-SYS Core processor to run your design.

In I/O-510i mode, you can configure eight I/O card slots, two GPIO components (A and B), and a Serial Port component. Loudspeaker Monitor is not available in I/O mode.

Use Q-SYS Core Manager to switch a Q-SYS Core 510i to I/O-510i mode. For more information, see Utilities in the Core Manager Help.

Note: After switching to I/O-510i mode, use Q-SYS Configurator (within Q-SYS Designer Software) to discover and configure the device within the I/O Devices category. Selecting the I/O-510i opens Peripheral Manager, which you can also use to change the mode back to Core 510i mode.

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

Slot A-H

Select the type of card installed in each slot, or 'Blank' if none is present.

Note: For AES3 cards, an SRC Disabled property appears. Select whether to enable or disable Sample Rate Conversion.

I/O-510i Status

ID

Click to display the ID indicator on the I/O-510i's front panel, as well as flash an indicator in Q-SYS Configurator next to the associated I/O-510i. The front panel shows the ID indicator for 5 minutes unless 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.

Processor Temp.

The current temperature, in Celsius, of the I/O-510i processor.

Processor Fan

Indicates the current RPMs of the I/O-510i's processor fan.

Chassis Temp.

The current temperature, in Celsius, of the I/O-510i chassis.

Chassis Fan

Indicates the current RPMs of the I/O-510i's chassis fan.

Network

Clock Master

LED indicating if the Core is the Master Clock for the Q-SYS system or not. The Core can be the Master Clock even if the clock is synchronized to an external clock.

Grandmaster

Displays either the Q-SYS Core processor name or the PTP Clock GUID. Note that:

  • There can only be one Grandmaster for a Q-SYS design (for all LAN interfaces of the device). It is possible for Q-SYS to resolve to a PTP Grandmaster present on LAN B, if enabled and present.
  • If available, the Core Name is displayed instead of the raw PTP clock GUID. (The Core Name is not available in some clocking topologies – for example, when a higher priority boundary clock between systems is present or with some Software Dante configurations, as when the Core syncs indirectly to another device via Software Dante’s boundary clock.)
  • A PTP Clock GUID can look similar to a MAC address, but is not the same and may not be related to a device’s actual MAC address.
  • If the PTP Clock GUID is derived from a MAC address (whether a Q-SYS Core processor or third-party device), it can be any MAC address on that device (any LAN interface, including those without a network connection).

PTPv1 (Dante)

Used specifically for Dante audio networking integration within the Q-SYS ecosystem

Clock Offset

Indicates how much of an offset exists, in microseconds, between the device and the network Grandmaster.

Parent Port

The clock Parent Port is the device and interface name to which the device is syncing. Typically, this is the Grandmaster.

LAN A and/or B

Link

When the LED is lit, it means the interface is "UP," signifying that the network connection is active and functioning properly. Conversely, when the LED is not illuminated, it indicates that the interface is "DOWN," suggesting that there may be issues with the network connection.

IP Address

Displays the IP Address the Core is connected to.

Mode

Determines how device operates within the network environment.

Auto: The network interface automatically negotiates it settings with the network infrastructure.

Static: The network interface's settings are manually configured by the user, including the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and other parameters.

Off: Disables the network interface, preventing it from sending or receiving network traffic.

Speed

Refers to the data transfer rate supported by a network interface or connection. Speed indicates the transfer rate of megabits per second (Mbps).

PTPv2 State

Refers to the operational state or role of a network device or interface.

Passive: A device in the passive state is not actively transmitting or receiving data.

Slave: A device in the slave state is subordinate to another device, known as the master.

Master: A device in the master state holds authority or control over one or more slave devices in a network.

Uncalibrated: The uncalibrated state indicates a transition state between modes.

Primary, Backup

These sections only appear when the Is Redundant property is set to 'Yes'.

Active

When I/O-510i redundancy is enabled, this LED indicates which unit is currently active.

Standby

When I/O-510i redundancy is enabled, this LED indicates which unit is in standby mode. During a reboot cycle, this LED is enabled.

Go Active

Click this button to force an inactive I/O-510i to become active.

Note: When network redundancy is enabled (Is Network Redundant property is set to 'Yes'), the LAN-A connection to one I/O-510i is removed, and the LAN-B connection to the other I/O-510i is removed, you cannot switch between units using the Go Active button.
