Connect a Qbic room booking panel
Power the Qbic panel with PoE+, launch the Offision player, and pair it with its six-character registration code. After pairing, tap the pencil on the pass-code card to change the default 0000 settings pass code.
Connect a Qbic panel in three steps: supply PoE+ power, launch the Offision player on the panel, and enter its six-character registration code in the management console.
You can run the player as the installed Android app or in the built-in browser. Install the Offision Android app if you need the built-in card reader, LED light bars, or offline video caching. See Run the player as an app or in the browser.
Supported Qbic models
- Room panels: Certified models are TD-1070, TD-1070 Lite, TD-1050 Pro, and TD-1060 Slim. Each requires a 25 W PoE+ port.
- Desk panels: The TD-0360 and TD-0350 run on USB power at the desk and pair under Qbic desk panels.
- Docking panel: The TDD-1000 powers a connected laptop over USB-C and pairs under Qbic docking.
Built-in card reader compatibility
The TD-1070 and TD-1050 Pro have an RFID/NFC card reader built into the front glass. Check the hardware variant before ordering, because reader support cannot be changed later by firmware:
- Standard models read 13.56 MHz cards such as MIFARE.
- H models are required for HID Global cards and must be ordered by part number.
- O models add Apple Wallet NFC hardware, which Offision does not use. An O model reads 13.56 MHz cards like a standard panel, and tapping an Apple Wallet pass does nothing.
- TD-1060 Slim has no built-in reader and requires an external USB card reader.
- The panel reads the card’s chip serial number (CSN), not the number printed on the card. Test one card first — see Read a card number at the panel and Check in by tapping a staff card.
1. Connect PoE+ power and Ethernet
Plug a PoE+ Ethernet cable into the back of the panel. The panel starts Android and requests an IP address over DHCP.
2. Launch the Offision player on the panel
A new Qbic panel opens its built-in Configuration screen on startup. Choose one of two ways to launch the player:
- Android app (recommended): Install the Offision APK from a USB drive or device management tool, then open it. See Install the Offision app on a Qbic device.
- Browser mode: On the Configuration screen, enter the player URL in Content and tap PLAY:
https://app.offision.com/player
When the player loads, the screen displays a six-character registration code.
3. Select Qbic in the pairing wizard
- In the management console, go to Devices › Booking panel › Devices and click Add.
- Select Room booking panel and choose the room.
- Under Certified devices, click Qbic panels.
Select Qbic panels in the Certified devices grid.
Choose the brand tile that matches your hardware:
| Tile | Hardware models |
|---|---|
| Qbic panels | TD-1050 Pro · TD-1060 Slim · TD-1070 Lite · TD-1070 |
| Qbic desk panels | TD-0350 · TD-0360 |
| Qbic docking | TDD-1000 |
4. Enter the six-character registration code
In the Connect step, enter the six-character code shown on the panel screen. The wizard submits the code automatically when you type the sixth character.
Enter the six-character registration code from the panel screen.
Change the settings pass code after pairing
The six-character registration code pairs the panel once. A separate local settings pass code protects the panel’s on-screen settings menu and starts at 0000 on a new panel.
- Right after pairing, look for the pass-code card on the panel screen.
- Tap the pencil icon next to 0000 to open Edit pass code.
- Enter a new 4- to 6-digit pass code, then enter it again to confirm. Change this code before mounting the panel outside a room.
After pairing, tap the pencil beside 0000 to change the settings pass code.
If the pass-code card has already closed, see Set a device pass code to change it from the panel settings menu or reset it from the management console. For the full wizard steps, see Connect a booking panel to Offision.
5. Verify room schedule, light bar, and card tap
The panel loads the room schedule within a few seconds, and its row in Devices › Booking panel › Devices turns online within a minute.
Create a test booking to confirm that the screen and bottom LED light bar change color. If the panel has a card reader, tap an enrolled staff card to test check-in.
Connect a TD-0360 desk panel
The TD-0360 (and TD-0350) is a 3.6-inch USB-powered desk display. Pair it with the same wizard: select Desk booking panel in the first step, pick the desk, and click Qbic desk panels under Certified devices.
Select Qbic desk panels for TD-0360 and TD-0350 desk displays.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Cause and fix |
|---|---|
| Panel does not power on | The switch port is standard PoE instead of 25 W PoE+, or the switch power budget is full. Move the cable to a PoE+ port. |
| Panel starts but never reaches Offision | Check DHCP and outbound network access. See Put Offision devices on a locked-down network. |
| Screen shows a browser home page with no code | Open the player URL (ending in /player) or launch the installed Offision app. |
| Panel already shows another room or signage board | Disconnect it from its previous record first. See Reuse a panel that was set up for something else. |
| Registration code is rejected | The code changes if the panel restarts or reconnects. Enter the code currently shown on the panel. |
| Card tap does nothing | Confirm the panel runs the Offision Android app, not browser mode. For HID cards, confirm the panel is an H model. See A card tap does nothing. |
| Bottom light bar stays dark | In browser mode, reload the page on the panel so the browser initializes the local LED API. |
What this setup does not cover
- Android system settings: Screen brightness, network settings, firmware updates, and kiosk lock stay in Qbic’s own Android menus.
- Digital signage: To use a Qbic box or display as a signage player instead of a booking panel, follow Show signage on a Qbic screen.
