Quick Start Guide

To get started with Q-Sys, follow these steps from the Q-Sys Designer Software:

  1. Install Q-Sys Plugin following the Installation Guide.

  2. Connect an Acroname product with a valid Acroname USBHub3c with the Serial Control add-on software feature <https://acroname.com/store/t99-serial> installed. For this guide, a USBHub3c.

  3. Add an Acroname USBHub3c plugin to the design canvas to create rich USB based applications.

Connecting through Serial Port

The following example shows highlights that a serial port on the Core can be connected to a USBHub3c serial port.

Change Upstream Port

The following example shows how an output selector through the Q-Sys user interface can change the upstream port on the USBHub3c. Switching the upstream port allows USB devices to communicate with two different host machines, which is often found in BYOD applications and environments.
