• Wall Mounting Bracket Mounting The QD2040b 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. Do not allow the mounting screws to touch the circuit board inside the enclosure.
A 120 Ω terminating resistor should be placed at each of the two ends of the network directly across the “A” and “B” wires. If the QD2040b will be at one end of the network, hard-wire a 120 Ω terminating resistor across the “A” and “B” terminals of the QD2040b (See "Three-Wire Network Wiring"...

No Communications with Controllers on the Network Make sure the baud rate selection for the QD2040b is set to match the baud rate of all the controllers on each port net- work (the default communication speed of the serial bus is 9600). All controllers on the network must have a unique ad- dress, excluding the reserved address ‘248’.

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 QD2040b until the Ubiquity Cloud Server performs a time synchronization with the site.
Application Options You must select a Network Polling Cycle Time for the QD2040b. 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.
Both RS-485 communication (COM) ports are configured using this interface. While the COM ports are automatically detected once the QD2040b 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.
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 QD2040b and whether it can be ac- cessed through the web interface.

Commissioning Tools Ubiquity Cloud Connection Status This section displays the status of the connection between the QD2040b and the Ubiquity Cloud Server. You have three options for the message that will appear here: 1. Error - No Route to Host: The unit does not currently have an Ethernet connection.
System Commands This section describes how to set up system flags for the QD2040b. “Reboot Unit” sets a flag which will shut off and restart the QD2040b within a five-minute cycle. “Check for Update” contacts the Ubiquity Cloud Server for any updates relevant to its particular model number and software version.
