• Two 120 Ω terminating resistors for RS485 networks Mounting The QD2040 is designed to be hung on a wall via the mounting screw holes in each unit. It may also be set on a shelf or table. If mounting on a wall, do not allow the mounting screws to touch the circuit board inside the enclosure. -
Page 4: Qd2040 Power And Communication Connections
A 120Ω terminating resistor should be placed at each of the two ends of the network directly across the “A” and “B” wires. • If the QD2040 will be at one end of the network, hard-wire a 120 Ω terminating resistor across the “A” and “B” termi- nals of the QD2040 (See “Three-Wire Network Wiring”... -

No Communications with Controllers on the Network Make sure the baud rate selection for the QD2040 is set to match the baud rate of all the controllers on each port network (the default communication speed of the serial bus is 9600). All controllers on the network must have a unique address, excluding the reserved address ‘248’. -

Page 9: Configuration
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 QD2040 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 QD2040. 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 unchecked.
- Page 11 Network Information The QD2040 has two Ethernet ports, Ethernet Cloud Port 1 and Ethernet Local Port 2. By default, Ethernet Cloud Port 1 is used to connect the QD2040 to the Ethernet. Ethernet Local Port 2 is configured as a local management port; however, it can be configured as a fail-over Ethernet port (see “Appendix D: Configuring Local Management Port as a Failover Port”...
- 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 QD2040 and whether it can be accessed through the web interface.
- Page 13 You can access a separate page containing various commissioning tools by clicking the “Commissioning Tools” button at the bottom of the Security Information page. These tools provide you with access to managing the communication status of the QD2040 and the controller network connected to it. 2800 Laura Lane •...

Page 27: Appendix D: Configuring Local Management Port As A Failover Port
Appendix D: Configuring Local Management Port as a Failover Port The QD2040 has two Ethernet ports: Cloud Ethernet 1 and Local Ethernet 2. By default, Cloud Ethernet 1 is used to connect the QD2040 to the Ethernet, and Local Ethernet 2 is configured as a local management port; however, Local Ethernet 2 can be configured as a fail-over Ethernet port in the event of an Internet interruption on Cloud Ethernet 1. - Page 28 Failover Options Section Failover Options Section The Failover Options section contains several default settings that should be adequate in most situations. TCS strongly recommends contacting your IT department before making any changes to the default settings. Click on the green Update Application Info button beneath the RS485 Network Port Configuration section to save the failover server location and other settings.
