    The Software Status section contains software/application-related information that identifies the level of patching of the unit. The Site Time is used by the local network and the QD2040c until the Ubiquity Cloud Server performs a time synchronization with the site.
  • Page 10 Application Options You must select a Network Polling Cycle Time for the QD2040c. This is the time interval that the unit will poll the entire network of controllers on all ports. You must select whether to allow caching the host name via DNS. Typically, this is left un- checked.
  • Page 11 Both RS-485 communication (COM) ports are configured using this interface. While the COM ports are automatically detected once the QD2040c is powered on, each active port will need to be configured to ensure proper functioning of the network. Ports can be enabled or disabled from the drop-down menu as well.
  • Page 12 When you are finished entering information in this section, click the Update Communication Info button. Security Information This section contains settings which control the security of the device within the QD2040c and whether it can be ac- cessed through the web interface.
