Installation Steps for the Customer

1. Record the information about the unit. (Section
2. Set the A, B, and S DIP Switch banks for field protocol baud rate, Node-ID/Device Instance, and proper
configuration. (Section
3. Connect the ProtoNode to the field protocol port and customer's port to the ProtoNode's RS-485 interface. (Section
3.4 Wiring Field Port to RS-485 BMS
4. Connect power to the ProtoNode.
5. Where the field protocol is BACnet/IP or Modbus TCP/IP, refer to Section
Device to run the Web GUI and change the IP Address. No changes to the configuration file are necessary.
6. Use a web browser to access the FieldServer Web Configurator page to enter any necessary device information.
the FieldServer automatically builds and loads the appropriate configuration.

Record Identification Data

Each ProtoNode has a unique part number located on the side or the back of the unitside of the label. The number format is
FPC-N34-XXXX. This number should be recorded, as it may be required for technical support.
