Configuring the Nyquist Input/
Output (I/O) Controller
The NQ-E7010 I/O Controller allows Nyquist to recognize third-party
switch contact closures and to provide external circuits. Configuration
rules can be set for each input and output port on this appliance, so,
for example, you can set a rule that if a contact is opened than an
alarm sounds.
Contact closures can be set for specific dates and times using the
Configure Schedule button on the I/O Controller’s Edit Station page.
For example, suppose you want to schedule an output that unlocks a
door at 7:30 each weekday morning. You can set up an output con-
tact closure schedule for 7:30 am Monday through Friday. When the
Activity Time occurs, the contact is closed, which in turn triggers a 3rd
party contact switch that closes the door.
You can let the Nyquist server automatically discover and configure
the I/O Controller, or you can manually configure it through the I/O
Controller’s web-based user interface (web UI).
A short 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 pro-
cess, refer to the Nyquist System Administrator Manual.

required. You can also use this page to restore factory settings and to
reboot the appliance.
To use the Firmware Update page:
Step 1 On the appliance web UI’s main page, select Firmware
Update to ensure you have the latest firmware version.
Step 2 Select Upload Firmware to upload firmware from the
server to the appliance.
If you select this option, a popup screen appears that
allows you to select the file that you want to upload.
You can navigate to the file’s location. After you select
the file, select Upload. If Nyquist discovers a new firm-
ware version, the Firmware Update page displays an
Note: A Nyquist appliance connected to the Nyquist network receives a config-
uration file from the Nyquist server that includes the latest firmware available
from the server. If the firmware is later than the one installed on the appliance, an
automatic firmware update occurs unless the Firmware parameter for the sta-
tion is left blank. Refer to the Nyquist System Administrator Manual for more
information.

Update Firmware button. Select this button if you
want to update the appliance’s firmware to the new
version.
Step 3 If you want to return your appliance to its original state
(undoing firmware updates), select Restore Factory
Settings.
Step 4 Select Reboot Appliance to restart your appliance.
3 Setting Network Tab Parameters
Network settings can be configured dynamically by the Nyquist
server or manually by using the appliance’s web UI.
To manually configure network settings:
Step 1 On the appliance web UI’s main page, select Network
Settings.
Step 2 Select your desired network settings.
Step 3 Select Save.

Network settings are described in the following table:
Figure 4, Network Settings
Table 3, Network Settings
Static IP Identifies the fixed IP address assigned
to the appliance by a system administra-
tor.
Netmask Identifies the subnetwork subdivision of
an IP network.

Gateway Identifies the address, or route, for the
default gateway.
VLAN ID Identifies the Virtual Local Area Network
(VLAN) for this appliance. Values range
from 0 to 4094.
VLAN Priority Identifies the priority of the network traf-
fic on the VLAN. Priority can range from
0 through 7.
NTP Server Identifies the IP address or the domain
name of the Network Time Protocol
(NTP) Server. This field is read only.
TFTP Server Identifies the IP address of the Trivial File
Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server. TFTP is
used by Nyquist VoIP phone and appli-
ance provisioning. A TFTP server runs on
the Nyquist server on port 69 (the stan-
dard TFTP port #).
Device provisioning files are stored on
the Nyquist server in directory: /srv/
tftp. This is the only directory
exposed by the TFTP server.
DHCP Server Over-
ride
Indicates if you want to override the
TFTP server information provided by the
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) via option_66.
DHCP supplies IP addresses to the
Nyquist server and associated devices. It
also supplies the TFTP server IP address
or name via option_66.
DHCP Enabled Indicates if the device is enabled to use
DHCP.
Reboot Appliance Allows you to save the network options
and reboot the appliance.
