2.4.1 Setting the Node/ID Device Instance (DIP Switch A0 – A7)
The A Bank DIP switches on the ProtoNode RER allow users to set the Node-ID/Device Instance on the
Field RS-485.
DIP switches A0 – A7 can also be used to set the MAC Address for BACnet MS/TP and BACnet/IP.

Please refer to Appendix B.1 for the full range of addresses to set Node-ID/Device Instance.
