Wireless Operation
QMaster can be configured to operate via a wireless connection to an
existing Ethernet network. Wireless connectivity means that QBoxes
and computers running the QMaster software can be moved around
to different physical locations without the constraint of trailing wires.
You can also use wireless capable scroll controllers to control
prompting of a script or rundown on a remote QBox.
B.1: Wireless connectivity
QBoxes are supplied with an interface which can be configured to locate wireless network access
points to enable transfer of rundown or script information from a remote location.
To prevent damage in transit, QBoxes are shipped with the aerial detached. Before switching on
the power to the QBox ensure the aerial is securely fastened to the socket on the front of the unit.
C AUTION : The aerial must be attached when operating a QBox. Operation of the unit
without an aerial will result in damage to the wireless interface and will void
your warranty.
Wireless connections can be either be via an access point to your existing network infrastructure
or set up as a standalone network between a computer running the QMaster software and one or
more QBoxes.
N OTE : Wireless performance can be affected by many factors, including the
nature of surrounding buildings, other networks in operation and
atmospheric conditions.
