Quick Start Guide
1. Record the information about the unit. (Section 3.1)
2. Check that the ProtoNode and customer device COM settings match. (Section 3.3)
3. FPC-N34: Select the protocol configuration on the S Bank DIP switches. (Section 3.4)
4. BACnet MS/TP (FPC-N34): Set the MAC Address on the A Bank DIP switches. (Section 3.5.1)
5. BACnet MS/TP (FPC-N34): Set the baud rate of the BACnet MS/TP field protocol on the B Bank DIP
switches. (Section 3.5.2)
6. Connect the ProtoNode 6 pin RS-485 connector to the RS-485 network that is connected to each of
the devices. (Section 4.2)
7. If using a serial field protocol:
Connect the ProtoNode FPC-N34 3 pin RS-485 port to the field protocol cabling, (Section 4.3)
or connect the ProtoNode FPC-N35 2 pin LonWorks port to the field protocol cabling. (Section 4.4)
8. Connect power to the ProtoNode 6 pin port. (Section 4.5)
9. Use a web browser to access the ProtoNode Web Configurator page to select the profiles of the devices
attached to the ProtoNode and enter any necessary device information. Once the devices are selected,
the ProtoNode automatically builds and loads the appropriate configuration. (Section 5)
10. Ethernet Network (FPC-N34): If using an Ethernet field protocol, use a web browser to access the
ProtoNode Web Configurator page to change the IP Address. (Section 5.5)
11. LonWorks (FPC-N35): The ProtoNode must be commissioned on the LonWorks Network. This needs
to be done by the LonWorks administrator using a LonWorks commissioning tool. (Section 6)
