Configuring the Nyquist Input/
Output (I/O) Controller
The NQ-E7010 I/O Controller allows Nyquist to recognize third-party
switch contact closures and to provide external circuits. Configuration
rules can be set for each input and output port on this appliance, so,
for example, you can set a rule that if a contact is opened than an
alarm sounds.
Contact closures can be set for specific dates and times using the
Configure Schedule
button on the I/O Controller’s Edit Station page.
For example, suppose you want to schedule an output that unlocks a
door at 7:30 each weekday morning. You can set up an output con-
tact closure schedule for 7:30 am Monday through Friday. When the
Activity Time occurs, the contact is closed, which in turn triggers a 3rd
party contact switch that closes the door.
You can let the Nyquist server automatically discover and configure
the I/O Controller, or you can manually configure it through the I/O
Controller’s web-based user interface (web UI).
A short press of the appliance’s
Reset
button reboots the device. If
you press the
Reset
button for 10 seconds, the appliance returns to
the factory default configuration settings. Returning to the default
configuration settings does not change the appliance’s firmware.
The following sections describe the process for manual configuration.
For information about using Nyquist’s automatic configuration pro-
cess, refer to the
Nyquist System Administrator Manual
