CONFIGURATION
the QWL 3 .1 Rev 3 Series Panel) of the shield wire of the
network wiring to earth ground . TCS recommends a 250
milliseconds time out period for all wired networks, and
1000 milliseconds for wireless networks . If you encounter
timeout errors please contact TCS Technical Support .
NOTE: In the middle of the network, all network wiring
shields should be twisted together and taped off to prevent
accidental grounding . More than one ground on the shield
wiring can result in communication failure .
NOTE: A maximum of two (2) terminating resistors can be
used. See below.
Gateway Configuration Page
After connecting and logging in, the operation of the unit
can be configured by selecting the proper parameters for
your application. All Ubiquity Cloud Application software
and functionality is accessed by logging into the central
server (www.ubiquitysystems.net) not by using this config-
uration page.
INSTALLATION INFORMATION
This section contains installer and site related information .
The information entered here is sent to the central server
when a site initially comes online to help identify the site
to link it to the correct Ubiquity Cloud site. For the most
part, this information is for reference purposes only, except
for the Site Time. The Site Time is used by the local net-
work and the QWL 3.1 Rev 3 Series Panel until the Ubiquity
Cloud central server performs a time synchronization with
the site .
Once you are finished entering information in this section,
click the Update Installation Info button.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
This section contains settings which define how the QWL
3 .1 Rev 3 Series Panel interacts with the controller network,
and how it communicates the data to the actual server .
Application Options: Select a Controller Network Poll-
ing Cycle time for the QWL 3 .1 Rev 3 Series Panel . This is
the time interval that the unit will poll the entire network
of controllers on all ports . The default setting is one (1)
minute . Select whether to allow caching the host name via
DNS. Typically, this is left unchecked. Select how often the
QWL 3 .1 Rev 3 Series Panel connects to the central server .
Typically this is set to "Always On . "
RS-485 Network - Port Configuration: Configure each of
the detected COM ports for this site. Typically,
you will leave Auto Detection of Controls on All Ports
enabled so the QWL 3 .1 Rev 3 Series Panel will find and add
controllers as they are found. If auto-detection is disabled,
new controllers must be added manually in Ubiquity Cloud.
The communication ports are automatically detected once
the QWL 3 .1 Rev 3 Series Panel is powered up . Once detect-
ed each COM port needs to be configured to ensure proper
functioning of the network on each port. Each port can be
enabled or disabled from the drop down menu.
Select the proper protocol being used on each port. The
current protocol selections from the drop down menu are
TCSbus or Modbus. Select the communication baud rate
for each port. This setting must be the same as all of the
controllers on that port. Adjust the Time-Out Period for
each port . 250ms for wired networks and 1000ms for all
wireless networks is recommended. The default baud rate
is 9600 baud and is recommended.
