The System Controller provides a cost-effective way to deploy Nyquist-based
solutions using a state-of-the-art processing platform pre-installed with the
Nyquist application server software. The System Controller offers high-
performance operation for even the largest Nyquist system configurations and
can simultaneously distribute an unlimited number of audio streams anywhere
across the network, making it perfect for background music applications.
The System Controller can manage applications that require any mix of multi-
zone paging, intercom calling, or background music distribution at businesses,
restaurants, retail stores, industrial facilities, and many other venues. It
has a web-based graphical user interface (GUI) that is accessible from almost
any personal computer (PC), tablet, or mobile device.
The System Controller is designed to run on a 10/100 Ethernet network.
Installation
The System Controller can be shelf, wall, or rack-mounted.
-
Either place the System Controller appliance on a shelf or use the supplied mounting ears to mount it on a wall.
For rack mounting, use one of the available optional rack mount kits (NQ- RMK02, NQ-RMK03, or NQ-RMK04) as applicable. -
Connect the device to the 10/100 network using a CAT5-type cable.
