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 ports) 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.
