Figure 1-5: Detail of data/communication cable ends.
iQ frames must each be connected to a CONSOLE
port on the QOR.32 using only the supplied 6-conduc-
tor cables. Each frame has a discrete connection to the
QOR.32 A maximum of three fader frames (one Main
plus two others of any type) can be connected to a
QOR.32.
Note: Does it matter what Core port I connect
a console frame to? Fader channel numbers
are dependent on the QOR.32 console port to
which you connect the fader frames. The Con-
sole 1 port will assign the lowest channel num-
bers. Console 2 and Console 3 will assign higher
fader channel numbers. This scheme permits
you to arrange your fader frames in any desired
configuration and automatically assign channel
numbers to your faders.
One end of each iQ power/communication cable is
fitted with a strain relief. Connect this end to the Molex
connector on the back of the QOR.32. Connect the other
smaller connector to the Molex socket on each iQ Frame.
Each Frame must have a dedicated power/communica-
tion cable.
Since the CANBus connection cables include power
as well as data, there is a length restriction of approxi-
mately 50 feet. If you require longer cables than those
supplied with your iQ Frames, please contact your Axia
representative.
Accessory
The fourth 6-pin Molex connector on the rear panel
of the QOR.32 is labelled ACCESSORY. This is the
CANBus port that can be used to distribute data and 48
VDC to CANBus switch modules and accessory panels.
Several accessory modules can be connected in a daisy-
chain configuration with a termination on the last ac-
cessory panel. An Axia CANBus adaptor is available to
convert the Molex CANBus connector to the RJ-45 type
connector used on the Axia Accessory panels. This adap-
tor will simplify wiring of your CANBus accessories.
What is CANBus? Controller Area Network
(CAN) is a multicast shared serial bus standard,
originally developed in the 1980s by Robert
Bosch GmbH, for connecting electronic control
units (ECUs). Although initially created for auto-
motive purposes, nowadays it is used in many
embedded control applications.
The CAN data link layer protocol is standardized
in ISO 11898-1 (2003).
IP Address Configuration
To access System Settings from the iQ console,
press-and-hold the Meter and Clock key for three sec-
onds. The Studio display now shows the options and the
Studio Monitor control is used to navigate, select options
and change parameter values. Options available are:
• IP Address
• Subnet Mask
• Gateway
• Save and Reboot
To exit, select EXIT and press the Studio Monitor
control.
Note: After making changes to any QOR.32 IP
address settings, you must reboot the unit for
these changes to take effect.
"Gateway" settings on a QOR.32 are not usually re-
quired; however, a valid gateway enables access to the
iQ configuration remotely, from outside your network. A
gateway also facilitates the use of an external NTP serv-
er. Enter the IP address of your master router (the one
with external network connections) whenever you're
given the option to enter a gateway address.
Note: If your system employs an Ethernet core
switch, the Ethernet core switch must have an
IP address that is lower than any of your iQ units
or Ethernet edge switches. This function of the
IGMP standard ensures that the multicast que-
rier is handled by the core switch if one exists.
The querier will be passed off transparently to
another switch should the core switch fail or be
disconnected.
