Required Connections
• LAN-A — Connect one end of a Cat 5e cable with an RJ45 connector to the LAN-A connector on the Page Station. Connect the other end of the
cable to the Q-LAN network.
• Connect LAN-B in the same way if you are going to be using LAN-B.
When power is supplied to the Page Station it may take several minutes to boot fully. The message "Q-Sys not configured" displays. This message
remains until the network details are configured for the Page Station and it is included in a valid paging design.
About PoE and AUX PO ER
There is no On/Off switch for the Page Station, making the order in which the power is connected important. The following information describes the
events when power is lost based on which power is supplied to the Page Station first.
• If AUX POWER is supplied first:
• The Page Station boots using AUX POWER.
• If PoE is then connected, it is not used.
• If AUX POWER fails, power to the Page Station is lost, the Page Station re-boots using PoE.
• If PoE fails with AUX POWER still available, there is no effect - PoE was not being used.
• If PoE is supplied first:
• The Page Station boots using PoE.
• If AUX POWER is then connected, it is not used.
• If PoE fails, the Page Station switches to AUX POWER. There is no re-boot.
• If AUX POWER fails with PoE still available, there is no effect AUX POWER was not being used.
• If PoE returns, the Page Station remains on AUX POWER.
