Overview

How it works

This product requires a monitor, a TV, or a device that has an HDMI input, and possibly speakers to play audio. QS-SWLITE product also needs to be connected to the same network (LAN or WiFi) as the Micro Touch Lite queue management server for viewing calls and if the Internet is available it is able to show the weather and/or last-minute news through FEED RSS.

Prhyme Installation

Unpackaging

Installing QS-SWLITE consists of a few simple steps:

Take the product out of the box and put the batteries in the supplied remote control
Connect the box to the power supply
Connect the network cable
Connect the monitor’s HDMI cable
Tune the monitor to the chosen HDMI source
Wait for the system to load

When initialization has occurred, the main screen shown in Figure 1 will appear on the monitor.

These operations are common for each QS-SWLITE installed.

System configuration

Q-Discovery, Western

Q-Discovery is the universal Visel tool for configuring LAN devices. It consists of a PC-compatible application running Windows XP or higher. Visel recommends installing Q-Discovery only on the administrator’s PC, which prevents non-workers from tampering with the system configuration.

Download Q-Discovery from this link: http://www.visel.it/en/download
Install and launch the application
Click “Search for devices” to start setting up

QS-SWLITE software can work in both DHCP and with a static IP address.

To configure a static IP, follow these steps:

Use the supplied remote control or connect a USB mouse to the box
Press the “return” button on the remote control or the right mouse button to exit the Q-LITE application
Go to the system settings and the “Cable” section and set the network parameters.

Voice Alternatives

This product takes advantage of the capabilities of Google’s preinstalled text-to-speech engine. If the voice you use is not to your liking you can install a different text-to-speech engine directly from Google Play (the Android digital store) after adding a Google account on the BOX. To add a Google Account, enter a mouse (or use the included remote control) and navigate to Settings -> Accounts and then add your Google Account. Among the text-to-speech engines on the market, Visel recommends Vocalizer TTS, which provides voices in many more languages than the basic one. Each item can be purchased directly from the store or within the app itself for the price of about € 4.00 each one. To enable an alternative text-to-speech engine, simply go to Settings -> Language -> Text-to-Speech Output and enable the alternate engine.
