LQ™ Quick Start Guide
The following Quick Start Guide provides basic installation and configuration instructions for your LQ system. LQ is a
new IP interface for Clear-Com audio products. It offers Internet, LAN and WAN connectivity for multi-linking audio.
•LQ-2W2 provides connection for two 2-wire analog partyline channels (XLR connectors)
•LQ-4W2 provides connection for two 4-wire channels (RJ45 etherCON connectors)
1.1 Powering and connecting the LQ units
1) Connect the LQ unit to a network using standard Ethernet cable
and power it on (use either the DC power supply cable provided or
PoE).
2) Connect the audio cables.
3) Open a Web-browser on a device connected to the same network
as the LQ device.
4) Input the IP address shown on the LQ device’s display into the
address field of the browser.
5) Enter the default login credentials for the Core Configuration
Manager: Username – admin, Password – admin.
Core Configuration Manager (CCM)
The CCM has three main pages:
•Home - Settings for the host device (the device whose IP address
the browser is connected to).
•Devices - Settings for all devices in a Link-Group.
•Audio Assignments – Configuration of audio routes between LQ
devices.
Note: If your network does not serve
DHCP you will need to assign a static IP
address to the LQ device:
1) Connect a standard (straight)
Ethernet cable from a computer
to either LAN port on the device.
2) Ensure the computer is in DHCP
mode.
3) Open a web browser and input
the device’s IP address in the
address field.
4) Navigate to the device’s network
screen within the home page
and allocate a static IP address.
