Q-Sys page stations are network devices for use in transportation, hospitality and other facilities that require live paging to selected zones. Like all Q-Sys system components, functionality of the page stations is defined and configured by system designer using Q-Sys designer. Once a Q-Sys design file has been created, it is then deployed to Q-Sys core processor over the Q-LAN network. Page station works in conjunction with the public address router, suite of Q-Sys software to provide extensive and sophisticated paging functionality. Q-Sys page stations provides two network interfaces (two gigabit Ethernet ports) for connection to Q-Sys system. This allows page stations to be connected to two switch ports or to be deployed on two separate networks to support variety of redundant operation modes for mission critical applications. In addition to audio and data deliveries via Q-LAN, the page stations are designed to receive power from the network via PoE (Power over Ethernet) or from an optional +24Vdc power supply. Page stations provide a front panel user interface that includes a 16, 8 or 4-button capacitive touch keypad depending on the model selected. The keypad offers visible feedback and audible cues, yet there are no buttons or membranes to wear out. Paging status, operational detail and alerts are also reported via illuminated status indicators and the stations 240 x 64 monochrome graphics LCD. Voice input is provided through handheld push-to-talk dynamic paging microphone. A unique magnetic docking system and cable strain relief allow flexibility in microphone placement when not in use yet help deter theft or removal of microphone. Rear panel of page station offers variety of auxiliary audio I/O interfaces and GPIO for expanding the capability of the page station. The auxiliary audio inputs can accommodate accessories such as a secondary microphone or other audio source. This feature-set permits single page station (with an optional second microphone) to serve, for example both the kiosk and the jet way entrance of an airport boarding area. The page stations includes an auxiliary output that can drive an amplifier/powered loudspeaker even if page station looses connection to the Q-Sys core. GPIO interface can be configured to use external events to affect paging operation or to affect external control systems. Page station is designed with flexible mounting system.
