Networked Page Stations
The 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 the system designer using
Q‑Sys Designer. Once a Q‑Sys design file has
been created, it is then deployed to a Q‑Sys
Core Processor over the Q‑LAN network.
The Page Station works in conjunction with
the “Public Address Router”, a suite of Q‑Sys
software to provide extensive and sophisticated
paging functionality.
Q‑Sys Page Stations provide two network
interfaces (two gigabit Ethernet por ts)
for connection to the Q‑Sys system. This
allows the Page Stations to be connected
to two switch ports or to be deployed on
two separate networks to support a 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
+24V DC power supply.
The 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 station’s 240 x 64
monochrome graphics LCD.
Depending on which model is selected, voice
input is provided through a handheld push‑to‑
talk or gooseneck 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 the microphone.
The rear panel of the Page Station offers a 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
a 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 include an
auxiliary output that can drive an amplifier or
powered loudspeaker even if the page station
looses connection to the Q‑Sys core. The GPIO
interface can be configured to use external
events to affect paging operation or to affect
external control systems.
The Page Station is designed with a flexible
mounting system. The rear of the page
station fits into a standard triple‑gang U.S.
electrical outlet box or it may be mounted
directly to a rough cut opening in a wall
or podium when an electrical “back box”
solution is not required. The electrical box
provides system designers with the option
of pre‑wiring the Page Station cabling prior to
mounting the product. Please visit the QSC
website for a dimensioned template before
beginning installation.
