2. INTRODUCTION The gateway is an external, high performance Building Automation multi-protocol gateway that is preconfigured to auto-discover any of Caleffi’s products (hereafter called “device”) connected to the the gateway and automatically configures them for BACnet MS/TP, BACnet/IP. It is not necessary to download any configuration files to support the required applications.
Each gateway has a unique part number located on the side or the back of the unit. This number should be recorded, as it may be required for technical support. The numbers are as follows: Model Caleffi code FPC-N34-1618 NA10520...

BMS Network settings: MAC address, device instance and Baud rate BACnet MS/TP: Setting the MAC Address for BMS Network - Only 1 MAC Address is set for gateway regardless of how many devices are connected to gateway. - Set the BACnet MS/TP MAC Address of the gateway to a value between 1 to 127 (Master MAC Address); this is so that the BMS front end can find gateway via BACnet Auto-Discovery.
Auto-Discovery: After completion - Turn Off to save configuration NOTE: if Modbus TCP/IP was selected for the field/BMS protocol, skip this section. Auto-Discovery is not used for MODBUS TCP/IP. The S3 DIP Switch for enabling Auto-Discovery should have been set in the previous chapter before applying power to the gateway. NOTE: Do not enable Auto-Discovery when the unit is powered.

The Active profiles section lists the currently active device profiles, including previous Web Configurator additions. This list is empty for new installations, or after clearing all configurations. To add an active profile to support a device, click the Add button under the Active Profiles heading. This will present a drop-down box underneath.The Current profile column that lists all the available profiles.
6. BACNET MS/TP AND BACNET/IP: SETTING NODE_OFFSET TO ASSIGN SPECIFIC DEVICE INSTANCES After setting a local PC to the same subnet as the gateway, open a web browser on the PC and enter the IP Address of the gateway; the default address is 192.168.1.24.
The parameters of the select device are shown in the screen below. 9. LED DIAGNOSTICS FOR COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN GATEWAY AND DEVICES See the diagram below for gateway led locations. Description The SPL LED will light if the unit is not getting a response from one or more of the configured devices The RUN LED will start flashing 20 seconds after power indicating normal operation.
