GETTING STARTED
Alright, time to roll up your sleeves and get to work! This section will guide you through basic concepts that will
help you get on your way with V-Page.
The V-Page station(s) communicates with a Q-Sys Core via network connection using a Plugin. To install the plugin
you need to download the file from the website and copy and paste the component to your design. The plug in can
be downloaded from our website at http://alcorn.com/support/software/
*You must be running Q-Sys Firmware 7.0.0 or above and V-Page firmware 2.00 or above for the Plugin to
work. To learn how to do a firmware update please refer to the firmware update section of this manual.
There are three steps that need to be completed to ensure that V-Page and Q-Sys function together properly.
1)
V-Page Hardware Installation
2)
Linking a V-Page and Q-Sys Core together
3)
Configure the audio routing using Q-Sys and Dante controller
HARDWARE INSTALLATION
a.
Make sure that all the dip switches are in the “Off” Position
b.
Power on V-Page by connecting Ethernet port to the Power Over Ethernet (PoE) switch and wait 10
seconds for V-Page unit to initialize. If no Power Over Ethernet (PoE) is available, refer to the VP4X
Hardware section to learn about using an external power supply.
c.
Be sure to have your V-Page units on the same network as the Q-Sys Core
LINKING A NEW V-PAGE AND Q-SYS CORE TOGETHER
a.
Single click the V-Page Plugin block for the station you would like to link and ensure your property
settings are configured. (Refer to Plugin Properties section of this manual).
b.
Connect to the Q-Sys Core and then double click to open the plugin.
c.
Press and hold buttons 1,2 and 4 on the V-Page hardware until the button lights start scrolling down.
d.
On the Q-Sys plugin
, on the top right corner click “Link”. The station LED’s will blink for a second
and
the station will re-
boot. After a few seconds the station LED’s will be solid green and the
plugin
“Online”
LED will light up.
AUDIO CONFIGURATION
a.
Launch Dante Controller.
b.
Click on the “Device Info” tab and double click on the V
-Page station.
c.
Enable AES67
under AES67 tab. Once the station has been rebooted, it’s time to create an AES67 multi
-
cast flow. Click on “Add Multicast Flow”.
