2 INTRODUCTION
2.1 ProtoNode Gateway
The ProtoNode is an external, high performance building automation multi-protocol gateway that is
preconfigured to automatically communicate between Fulton’s devices (hereafter simply called “device”)
connected to the ProtoNode and automatically configures them for BACnet/IP and BACnet MS/TP.
It is not necessary to download any configuration files to support the required applications. The ProtoNode
is pre-loaded with tested profiles/configurations for the supported devices.
FPC-N54 Connectivity Diagram:
The ProtoNode can connect with Sierra Monitor’s SMC Cloud. The SMC Cloud allows technicians, the
OEM's support team and Sierra Monitor's support team to remotely connect to the ProtoNode. The SMC
Cloud provides the following capabilities for any registered devices in the field:
• Remotely monitor and control devices.
• Collect device data and view it on the SMC Cloud Dashboard and the SMC Smart Phone App.
• Create user defined device notifications (alarm, trouble and warning) via SMS and/or Email.
• Generate diagnostic captures (as needed for troubleshooting) without going to the site.
For more information about the SMC Cloud, refer to the SMC Cloud Start-up Guide.
