    ProtoNode LonWorks Wiring • Connect the ProtoNode to the field network with the LonWorks terminal using a twisted pair non- shielded cable. LonWorks has no polarity. ProtoNobe IP Wiring • Connect the ProtoNobe to the field IP Network at the Ethernet Port using a standard CAT5 Ethernet Cable.

  • Page 18: Commissioning

    COMMISSIONING 4.1 Use the ProtoNode Web Configurator to setup the Gateway First, connect a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable (straight through or cross-over) between the local PC and ProtoNode. There are two methods to access the ProtoNode via Ethernet connection, either by changing the subnet of the connected PC (Section 4.1.1) or using the FieldServer Toolbox to change the IP Address of the ProtoNode (Section 4.1.2).
