Computer Requirements & Software Installation
Installing QSControl.net is easy. All you need to do is choose the folder where the program is to be stored (the default setting is acceptable
for most applications). We recommend your system meet the following minimum requirements:
1- IBM PC compatible computer with a Pentium 4 processor.
2- Processor speed of 1 GHz (2 GHz or faster recommended for systems with 30 or more BASIS units).
3- 512 megabytes of RAM (1 gigabyte recommended for systems with 30 or more BASIS units).
4- Hard drive with at least 500 MB of free space for the program and files you generate.
5- Display resolution of 1024 X 768, 16-bit color.
6- CD-ROM drive to install the software.
7- 10BaseT or 10BaseT/100BaseTx network interface card
8- Windows XP Professional, XP Home, Windows 2000 SP2 (or better), or Windows NT4.0 SP6a operating system. Windows 95, 98 and ME
platforms are not supported.
Note: If system is used for real-time adjustments and configuration of audio systems, we recommend all Windows Power Options (located in
the Windows Control Panel) features be disabled. Display, hard drive, system standby and hibernation settings should be set to “Never”.
This avoids waiting for the system to “wake-up” if adjustment is needed after an elapsed period of time.

General Information & Configuration Memories
Amplifier Setup
The QSC DataPort-equipped amplifiers connected to the BASIS 722az must have their power switches in the “on” position. For initial testing,
use the lowest useful gain setting until the system is operating as expected. After the system setup has been verified and tested, gain set-
tings may be adjusted as required.
Network
The network should be operable and QSControl.net software should be installed/running on the system controller computer.
Configuration Memories
The BASIS 722az has non-volatile storage locations that contain settings for the device as well as DSP signal flow. The storage locations
make it possible to set up the BASIS for different situations and quickly recall the setup with or without QSControl.net software using the
front panel controls.
