SMC Networks ProtoNode FPC-N34 Manual page 3

1. Record the information about the unit. (Section
2. Set the device's Modbus RTU serial settings (i.e. baud rate, parity, stop bits) and Modbus Node-ID
for each of the devices that will be connected to ProtoNode FPC-N34 or FPC-N35. (Section
3. ProtoNode FPC-N34 units: Select the Field Protocol on the S Bank Dip Switches. (Section
4. Enable the ProtoNode "Auto Discovery" mode on Dip Switch Bank S. (Section
5. BACnet MS/TP (FPC-N34): Set the MAC Address on DIP Switch Bank A. (Section
6. BACnet MS/TP or BACnet/IP (FPC-N34): Set the BACnet Device Instance. (Section
7. Metasys N2 or Modbus TCP/IP (FPC-N34): Set the Node-ID. (Section
8. BACnet MS/TP (FPC-N34): Set the BAUD rate of the BACnet MS/TP Field Protocol on DIP Switch
Bank B. (Section 2.5.4)
9. Connect ProtoNode's 6 pin RS-485 connector to the Modbus RS-485 network that is connected to
each of the devices. (Section
10. Connect ProtoNode FPC-N34's 3 pin RS-485 port to the Field Protocol cabling, (Section
connect ProtoNode FPC-N35's 2 pin LonWorks port to the Field Protocol cabling. (Section
11. Connect Power to ProtoNode's 6 pin connector. (Section
12. When power is applied it will take about 3 minutes for all the devices to be discovered, and the
configuration file to be built. Once Auto-Discovery is complete turn OFF the S3 DIP Switch to save
the configuration settings. (Section
13. BACnet/IP or Modbus TCP/IP (FPC-N34): Use the ProtoNode's embedded tool which is accessed
with a browser, referred to in this manual as the Web Configurator, to change the IP Address. No
changes to the configuration file are necessary. (Section
14. LonWorks (FPC-N35): The ProtoNode must be commissioned on the LonWorks Network. This needs
to be done by the LonWorks administrator using a LonWorks Commissioning tool. (Section
