Configuring the Nyquist Double-Sided Hallway Display Combo Speaker
The Nyquist Double-Sided Hallway Display Combo Speaker (NQ-DSC01) is an indoor, wall- or ceiling-mounted multi-color display with dual VoIP speakers designed to work with the Nyquist Series IP network-based intercom and paging solution. It features a dual-sided, multi-color LED display panel with an integrated flasher, an intercom-capable microphone, dry-contact relay output, line-level input and output, and is powered by PoE+. The CAN bus 2.0 interface can connect to an optional Nyquist Digital Call Switch (NQ-E7020-G2) or Remote Volume Control (NQ-VCTRL) to initiate SIP calls.
Messages can be displayed on the LED panel using the same methods used to display messages on a GA10PV display (e.g., via the System Controller dashboard’s Display Message or the Display-Msg routine action). Messages can be up to 64 independently colored or 639 single-colored (red) uppercase characters (lowercase will display as uppercase) and will scroll (not wrap) if they are too long to fit on one line of the display.
Note: Everything displayed—messages, clocks, and flashers—will be duplicated on each display panel.
Priority | Simultaneous Messages | Max Characters (color specified | Max Characters (default color of Red) |
|---|---|---|---|
6 | One | 64 | 639 |
5 | One | 64 | 639 |
0 to 4 | One or two | 64 | 639 |
Two messages can be displayed simultaneously, the highest priority message being displayed on the top line. High priority (5 or 6) messages will display on both lines.
A clock can be enabled to display the date, hour, minutes, and (optional) seconds on the LED panel. It can display on one line, top or bottom, and can display simultaneously with messages of priority 0 through 4. If multiple messages are displayed (or one message of priority 5 or 6), the clock will be hidden and redisplayed after the messages have completed.
A flasher can also be displayed—independently or in conjunction with a message—to attract attention to the message or to indicate a specific event, such as activation of a Nyquist- or user-defined event. The flasher’s color (Amber, Blue, Green, Orange, Red, Violet, White, or Yellow), pattern (No Change, Off, Slow, Fast, Double, Triple, or Quad), and number of pattern cycles can be configured per event type. By default, the flasher is enabled during Nyquist system events (e.g., All-Call, Emergency-All-Call, Zone-Page, etc.).
A two-second press of the appliance’s Reset button reboots the device. If you press the Reset button for 10 seconds, the appliance returns to the factory default configuration settings. Returning to the default configuration settings does not change the appliance’s firmware.
The following sections describe the process for manual configuration. For information about using Nyquist’s automatic configuration process, refer to the appropriate Nyquist System Administrator Guide.
Note: Do not use third-party browser extensions with the Nyquist user interface.
To access the appliance’s Web-based user interface (UI):
1Before accessing the web UI for the first time, the Bogen Certification Authority (CA) digital certificate must be installed on the client. This certificate can be downloaded from any Nyquist appliance and enables your browser to recognize the Nyquist web application as a trusted site.
For details on how to download and install the certificate to your client computers, see "Bogen Digital Certification Authority".
