tween the QWL 3.1 Rev 2 Series Panel and the central
server. 3 message options that will appear are:
1) Error - No Route to Host -- means the unit does not
currently have an Ethernet connection, or does not have
DNS information properly configured.
2) Connected -- means the unit is able to communicate
to the Ubiquity central server BUT is not being matched
up with a specific Site, typically this indicates that the site
is not initialized on the central server side yet, please
contact TCS Basys Controls to assign or initialize the
QWL 3.1 Rev 2 Series Panel to a site.
3) Established -- means the unit is communicating with
the Ubiquity central server AND is ready to go. All Ubiq-
uity functions (monitoring, programming, alarming, etc.)
should be available through the user interface at this
point.
Clicking the green button with the arrow on it on the right
side of the Ubiquity Connection Status title bar will refresh
the connection status.
