• Two 120 Ω terminating resistors for RS-485 network Mounting The QD3041 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. If mounting on a wall, do not allow the mounting screws to contact the circuit board inside the enclosure.
Place a 120 Ω terminating resistor at each of the two ends of the network directly across the “A” and “B” wires. • If the QD3041 will be at one end of the network, hard-wire a 120 Ω terminating resistor across the “A” and “B” termi- nals of the QD3041 (See “Three-Wire Network Wiring”...

Gateway can be configured locally by connecting a laptop directly to the unit, or by connecting a monitor and keyboard. When using a laptop, you can configure the Gateway through the QD3041’s internal web page. When using a monitor and keyboard, you can configure the Gateway via the text-based Command Line Interface (CLI).

Commissioning Tools Ubiquity Cloud Connection Status This section displays the status of the connection between the QD3041 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 QD3041. “Reboot Unit” sets a flag which will reboot the QD3041 within a five-minute cycle. “Restart Application” will restart the software running on the device. “Check for Update” con- tacts the Ubiquity Cloud Server for any updates relevant to its particular model number and software version.
