Systems
In the Q-SYS Reflect hierarchy, a System is a Q-SYS design file running on a Q-SYS core processor. A System typically represents a particular space within the Site. For example, a hotel could have a System (design file) for each public space within the building – lobby, bar, outdoor patio, individual conference rooms, and so forth. The design file defines the connections to Q-SYS peripherals, such as amplifiers, cameras, touch screens, and network video endpoints.
Note: Refer to the Overview topic to understand the relationship between Organizations, Sites, Systems, and Peripherals.
Add a Core to a Site
It's easy to register a Q-SYS Core with Q-SYS Reflect and add it to your Site.
- In Q-SYS Core Manager, obtain an Authorization Code from the Reflect page. See the Reflect topic to learn how to prepare your Core for monitoring and obtain an Authorization Code.
- On the Q-SYS Reflect > Systems page, click + Add Core.
- Paste the Authorization Code, and then click Add.
Viewing and Pausing System Status
The Systems table provides a list of all Q-SYS Cores registered within this Site and their associated System names.
- The Status column indicates whether a System is initializing, running, or offline. Click a System name to open the Q-SYS Core's Status page to investigate any indicated warnings or alerts.
- Click Pause to disallow the System from reporting its status to the Alerts table and generating Notification emails. This is useful, for example, when commissioning a System or recognizing a recurring issue that is already under investigation. For more information, see Alerts & Notifications.
Tip: You can also pause individual Inventory components within a System. Click the System name to open the Core's Status page, and then click Pause for an Inventory item. For more information, see Status.
Manage a System
From the Systems table, click a System name to remotely manage the Q-SYS Core from Q-SYS Reflect. The available Core Management and System Management pages depend on the purchased subscription tier.
Note: For more information about licenses, see Q-SYS Reflect Subscriptions.

1. Any Q-SYS Core processor registered with Reflect will regularly back up its running design. A Q-SYS Reflect Plus subscription is required to export a backup or restore from a backup. To learn more, see Design Backup and Restore (Beta).
2. Access and control a UCI remotely from Q-SYS Reflect. See User Control Interfaces.
3. From Q-SYS Designer Software, remotely load from and save to Reflect-connected Cores. See the Loading and Saving Designs topic in Q-SYS Help for more information. The ability to remotely update Core firmware via Q-SYS Reflect is not yet available, so the Core firmware version and Q-SYS Designer Software version must match.
