3 – Device Operation
For integrating the Zip4 with a QSC Q-SYS Core DSP, a plug-in has
been developed that makes the ZIP4 and Zip4-3G operate like the
Virtual Paging Station (VPS) component in Q-SYS Designer.
The Zip4 can also be used in non-Q-SYS applications though
additional programming/integration will required.
3.1 – Q-SYS Integration
*Note: This section assumes the user already has familiarity with
the paging system functions that the Q-SYS platform provides
Using a Zip4 or Zip4-3G with Q-SYS requires the use of the Zip4
plug-in. This can be obtained from the customer portal section of
the Attero Tech website (link
utility within Q-SYS Designer. Once the plugin has been
downloaded, double click on the .qplugx file and follow the
instruction to install the plug-in to the correct folder. It will then
be available within the Q-SYS Designer plug-in list.
Each instance of the plug-in controls a single Zip4, so a design
will require the same number of plugins as there are Zip4 devices
to control.
The Zip4 plug-ins also requires an instance of the PA Router
component to be added to the design. Even though the plug-in
does not attach visibly to the PA Router, the number of stations
on the PA Router still needs to be set to ensure there is one
station available for each Zip4 the design intends to use.
3.1.1 – Plug-in Configuration Properties
The plug-in has several properties that can be set. These
enable/disable a specific feature or alter the device operation.
They can only be set when the project is in "Design" mode.
Default Zone – (Default: "No") This setting determines what
happens if a page is initiated with no zone groups selected. If set
to "No", no page is initiated. If set to "Yes", a page is made to an
additional "default" zone that's configured with its own set of
paging parameters available via the Zip4 plugin interface.
Auto Cancel – (Default: "No") Allows a "Delayed" type page to be
cancelled if audio level remains below a certain level for a given
period. To take advantage of this feature, the incoming audio
*MUST* be routed through the plug-in from the receiver.

Multi Zone Select – (Default: Yes) this setting determines if
multiple group buttons can be selected simultaneously for a
page. When set to "No", only a single zone group can be selected
at one time.
Security – (Default: "Open") this setting allows configuration of
the security mode on Zip4. In "Open" mode, the Zip4 can be used
at any time without restriction for a page. In "Secured" mode, the
unit is protected with a 3-digit pin which must be entered first
before a page can be made.
3.1.2 – Network Setup
3.1.3 – Connecting a device
If the devices IP address is known in advance, select the "Manual"
mode option and type in the devices IP address in the "Unit/IP"
field. Alternately, "Discovery" mode can be used to find the device
by its name. The Unit/IP down will list all devices that are found.
*Note: It is recommended "Discovery" mode only be used to find
the device's IP. Once the correct device has been selected, that
should populate the devices IP field. It is recommended that the
mode then be switched to "Manual" mode at which point the
previously selected device's IP address will then be automatically
populated.
Each instance of the plug-in also requires the station ID to be set
with given a different ID. The first instance unit should be ID 1,
then next 2 and so on.
The final step is to initiate a connection to the selected device
which is done by clicking the "Connect" button. The connection
setup fields will then become disabled and the "Connected"
button turns orange to indicate it is active. If the plugin can
correctly connect to the chosen device, the indicator next to the
connect button will turn green. The "status" field shows the
connected state including if the connection fails for some reason.
Once a device is connected, the "Identify" function can be used to
indicate which device the plug-in specifically associated with.
When active, the Ready and Busy indicators on the device in
question will both flash green.
As the Zip4 is a control device, it
is recommended that static IP
address assignment to be used. If
the network uses a DHCP server, it
is recommended to configure the
DHCP server with reserved IP
addresses for each Zip4.
