Configure Desk Booking for Qbic Smart Panel PC Devices

QBic Technology’s Smart Panel PC devices are optimized and specifically designed for reservation applications, making them ideal for hot-desking or resource reservations. Employees can easily scan the QR code displayed on the device and make reservations using the Appspace Employee App.

The Qbic Smart Panel PC TD-0350 device utilizes the Appspace App for Devices (PWA), and currently only supports the Desk Booking card displayed on a playlist channel.

This article provides Administrators with guidance to configure and register the Qbic Smart Panel PC devices with the Appspace App for Desk Booking.

Prerequisites

• An Account Owner or Location Admin user role with the Platform User license assigned.
• Sufficient Device Licenses when registering the device, and Content Licenses if displaying premium content.
• Ensure the device meets the manufacturer’s minimum hardware and technical specifications, as per our Appspace Supported Devices and Operating Systems article.
• Ensure your network is configured to allow Appspace allowed URLs and network ports.
• Ensure the device clock is set to automatically retrieve time from a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server, with the correct time zone for it to sync correctly with the Appspace server.
  Note

  • Appspace Cloud servers are configured to retrieve time from an NTP server by default. If an On-prem server is used, ensure the server is configured to retrieve time from an NTP server automatically.
  • Appspace timezone configuration includes time zones other than GMT. This enables users with daylight savings to adjust time accordingly.

Device Specific Prerequisites

• Ensure the Qbic Smart Panel PC TD-0350 device is running the latest firmware, as per our Appspace Supported Devices and Operating Systems article.
