A separate page which contains various commissioning tools can be accessed by clicking the "Commissioning Tools" 

button at the bottom of the Setup page . This page gives you access to additional information about the connection 

status of the QD2040b and the controller network connected to it . 

UBIQUITY CLOUD CONNECTION STATUS

This section displays the status of the connection 

between the QD2040b and the central server . You have 3 

options for the message that will appear here:

1) Error

 - No Route to Host -- means the unit does not 

currently have an Ethernet connection .

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 QD2040b to a site

3) Established 

--  means the unit  is communicating 

with the Ubiquity central server AND is ready to go . All 

Ubiquity 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 .

CONTROLLER VIEW

This section allows you to see what controllers have 

been found by the QD2040b and view each controller's 

address, model, and communication status . The state 

field will show AUTO-DETECTED initially when found 

by the unit and CONFIRMED once the controller has 

been recognized by the Ubiquity central server . This 

information allows the installer to verify that each 

controller has been found by the QD2040b and is 

communicating with the local network .
Clicking the green button with the arrow on it on the 

right side of the Controller View title bar will refresh 

each controller's status .

SYSTEM COMMANDS

In this section you are able to set a couple of system 

flags for the QD2040b itself . "Reboot Unit" sets a flag 

which will shut off and restart the QD2040b within a 5 

minute Cycle . "Check for Update" contacts the Ubiquity 

Central Server for any updates relevant to its particular 

model number and software version . Once the update 

has been downloaded, it is automatically applied, and 

the unit may reboot .

NOTE

: The "Check for Update" command requires that 

the QD2040b have Internet access to retrieve the update 

patch .
