Modes of Operation
There are two modes in which the QD2040 can operate.
One method is stand-alone server mode utilizing the
embedded Ubiquity software. The second method is
by directly communicating to a centrally hosted Ubiquity
server. In stand-alone mode the QD2040 functions
as the server to the controller network and can be
accessed via the Internet, through a local or wide area
network (LAN or WAN), or by dial-in modem connection.
All access methods utilize a simple web browser
interface. The QD2040 may also be accessed via direct
connection from a laptop using the included CAT 5
Crossover Patch Cable.
NOTE: Despite its appearance this is a unique cable
designed especially for direct connections between
two computers. Other ethernet cables will not work.
The other method of operation for the QD2040
is to communicate directly to a centrally hosted
Ubiquity server by connecting to the Internet or by
connecting to a local or wide area network (LAN
or WAN). By connecting to a centrally hosted server,
the advantages of multi-site enterprise functionality is
achieved. Enterprise features include: multi-site global
programming, global scheduling, global alarming and
enterprise data aggregation. In addition, some local
control functions are still performed by the QD2040 (ie.
Loop control, energy curtailment, outdoor air sharing,
etc.)
Initial Configuration
The QD2040 comes from the factory with a default
mode of Stand-alone / Dial-In. The unit also comes
with a special setup mode enabled. This setup mode
is called 'Setup DHCP Server' and in this mode the
QD2040 acts as a DHCP server which allows capability
of setting up the QD2040 by simply connecting to it
with a laptop or desktop PC. Caution: The QD2040
comes programmed with a default setup mode and
functions as a DHCP server. When setting up the
QD2040, be sure the QD2040 is not connected to
another DHCP enabled network.
Before connecting the QD2040 to a LAN or WAN, you
must first configure the unit for operation. To configure
the QD2040, connect the QD2040 to a PC or laptop that
is NOT connected to a network during the configuration
process. Make this connection from the ethernet port
of the QD2040 to the ethernet port of the PC using
the CAT 5 crossover ethernet cable included with the
QD2040. After you have made the connection from the
QD2040 to the PC, power up the QD2040 and wait 3
minutes for the QD2040 to completely boot up. You
then need to reboot your laptop or PC to allow it to be
assigned an IP address from the QD2040. Open the
web browser program (Internet Explorer v5.0 or higher
is the recommended browser). In the browser address
space, type in IP address http://192.168.1.1 and press
enter to navigate to the QD2040 login page. Enter
username: admin and password: password to reach
the QD2040 Ubiquity home page. From this page
you can configure the operation mode of the QD2040
(See Setup & Programming section) by navigating to
the following links at the top of the home page Admin
> QD2040 Setup. You can now change parameters of
the QD2040 or link to the control addressing page to
address controllers, that do not have displays, prior
to installation. (See Control Addressing section) After
QD2040 configuration is complete, disconnect PC from
the QD2040. The QD2040 is now ready for installation.
