Status (I/O USB Bridge)

ID

When the ID/Identify button, in the Q-SYS Designer Status component, or the Configurator's Network Configuration for the hardware, or on the physical hardware is pressed, the ID buttons in the Configurator and Status component flash, and the LCD on the physical Hardware flashes to indicate the association between the three.

The indicators will flash for 5 minutes unless you stop them by pressing any one of the buttons.

Status LED

This LED changes color to indicate the current status of the Core. See Status for the meanings of the various colors.

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

• OK (0): The device is functioning normally.
• Compromised (1): The device is functioning, but a non-fatal problem exists. Refer to the Status box for details.
• Fault (2): The device is malfunctioning or is not properly configured. Refer to the Status box for details.
• Not Present (3): 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.
• Unknown (3): 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.
• Missing (4): The device cannot be discovered.
• Initializing (5): The device is in the process of a firmware, patch, or configuration update, or the design is starting.

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).

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.

Note: The Audio Streams controls are only available when the USB Audio Bridge property is set to enabled (Speakerphone or Sound Card).

Input / Output OK LED (LAN A / LAN B)

This LED changes color to indicate the current status of the I/O USB Bridge. See Status LED for the meanings of the various colors.

Note: You must have Is Network Redundant set to Yes in the Properties to see LAN B.

Input Details / Output Details (LAN A / LAN B)

Read-only text fields that display real-time stream statistics.

Note: These fields are only visible when Verbose is set to Yes in the component Properties. (LAN B fields require Is Network Redundant to be set to Yes.)

• connected=1: Indicates stream connection status (1 = connected, 0 = not connected).

• dscp=34: Displays the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) value for Quality of Service (QoS). You can change this value in the Design Properties dialog (File > Design Properties).

• accept_count=: Displays the cumulative number of network audio packets accepted by the interface.

Suppress button

If the Is Network Redundant property is set to Yes, but the redundant network is not connected, an error is displayed. This button suppresses the error caused by LAN B not being connected.

Reset

Resets the Input / Output Details statistics to zero. A Reset button appears below the Input Details and Output Details fields for each LAN (LAN A, and LAN B if Is Network Redundant is set to Yes). This button is only available when Verbose is set to Yes in the Properties.

USB Reset

Reinitializes the USB driver without the need for a full design redeploy, restoring connections and USB functionality after a few seconds.

Note: The following information is available only when the USB Audio Bridge in Properties is set to anything except Disabled, and one or more USB Audio components (Speakerphone In/Out, Sound Card In/Out) are in the schematic.
