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 reorded, as it may be required for technical support. The numbers are as follows: Model Caleffi code FPC-N54-1861 755052...

6. POWER CONNECTION Check power requirements in the table below: Power Requirement for ProtoNode External Gateway Current Draw Type ProtoNode Family 12 V (DC) 24 V (AC/DC) FPC–N54 (Typical) 250mA 125mA NOTE: These values are ‘nominal’ and a safety margin should be added to the power supply of the host system. A safety margin of 25 % is recommended.

7. CONFIGURATION OF THE GATEWAY Connect the PC to gateway via the Ethernet Port Connect a CAT5 Ethernet cable (Straight through or Cross-Over) between the local PC and gateway. NOTE: The Default IP Address of gateway is 192.168.1.24, subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. If the PC and gateway are on different IP Networks, assign a static IP Address to the PC on the 192.168.1.1 network.

8. WEB SERVER SETUP Login to the FieldServer The first time the FieldServer GUI is opened in a browser, the IP Address for the gateway will appear as untrusted. This will cause the following pop-up windows to appear. • When the Web Server Security Unconfigured window appears, read the text and choose whether to move forward with HTTPS or HTTP. •...

After setting a local PC on the same subnet as the gateway (previous chapter), open a web browser on the PC and enter the IP Address of the gateway; the default address is 192.168.1.24. After setting the local IP address of the gateway, to show the parameters of the connected device, following the screens below. Username: admin Password: see label on side of the Gateway (ref.

NOTE: Below the “Active profiles” heading, the profiles for connected devices are listed. If no profiles are present, then wiring, baud rate and switch settings must checked, because there is a problem with device communications. All the active profiles must show correct Node-ID’s before proceeding.
