3.3 BACnet MS/TP or Metasys N2 (RER): Wiring Field Port to RS-485 Network
Connect the BACnet MS/TP or Metasys N2 RS-485 network wires to the 3-pin RS-485 connector on Proto-
Node RER as shown below.
• Use standard grounding principles for RS-485 GND.
See Section 4.4 for information on connecting to BACnet/IP network.
If the ProtoNode is the last device on the BACnet MS/TP or Metasys N2 trunk, then the End-Of-Line
Termination Switch needs to be enabled (Figure 14).
• The default setting from the factory is OFF (switch position = right side).
• To enable the EOL Termination, turn the EOL switch ON (switch position = left side).
