3.2 BACnet MS/TP (FPC-N34): Wiring Field Port to RS-485 BMS Network
Connect the BACnet MS/TP RS-485 network wires to the 3-pin RS-485 connector on
ProtoNode FPC-N34 as shown below in Figure 6.
o The RS-485 GND (Pin 3) is not typically connected.
See Section 5 for information on connecting to BACnet/IP network.
If the ProtoNode is the last device on the BACnet MS/TP, then the End-Of-Line
Termination Switch needs to be enabled. (Figure 7)
o The default setting from the factory is OFF (switch position = right side).
o To enable the EOL Termination, turn the EOL switch ON (switch position = left
side).
3.3 LonWorks (FPC-N35): Wiring Field Port to LonWorks Network
Connect ProtoNode to the field network with the LonWorks terminal using a twisted pair non-
shielded cable. LonWorks has no polarity.

3.4 Power-Up ProtoNode
Apply power to ProtoNode as show below in Figure 10. Ensure that the power supply used
complies with the specifications provided in Appendix C.1.
ProtoNode accepts either 9-30VDC or 12-24 VAC on pins 4 and 5.
Frame GND should be connected.

4 CONFIGURE THE PROTONODE VIA WEB CONFIGURATOR GUI
4.1 Connect the PC to ProtoNode via the Ethernet Port
Connect a Cat 5 Ethernet cable (Straight through or Cross-Over) between the PC and
ProtoNode.
The Default IP Address of ProtoNode is 192.168.1.24, Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. If the PC
and ProtoNode are on different IP Networks, assign a static IP Address to the PC on the
192.168.1.xxx network.
For Windows XP:
Go to > >
Right-click on Local Area Connection > Properties
Highlight >
For Windows 7:
Go to > >

For Windows XP and Windows 7, use the following IP Address:
Click twice.

4.2 Connecting to the ProtoNode Web Configurator GUI
After setting the PC on the same subnet as the ProtoNode (Section 4.1), open a web browser
on the PC and enter the IP Address of the ProtoNode; the default address is 192.168.1.24.
The Configurator Web GUI will now appear when entering the device’s IP Address on the
browser.
Select the desired protocol.
The Configurator Web GUI landing page will now appear.
NOTE: If the wrong protocol was selected, click the Clear Configuration button to reset the GUI and go
back to the Select System Page.

4.3 Set BACnet/IP and Modbus TCP/IP Address of ProtoNode to Same
Switch/Router of the Device
From the Web GUI’s landing page, click on “Network Settings” Tab to access the IP Settings
menu. (Figure 13)
Enter new IP Address (N1 IP Address field) of the ProtoNode Ethernet port to the same
switch or router’s subnet that the device is connected.
If necessary, change the Netmask (N1 Netmask field).
Type in a new subnet mask.
If necessary, change the IP Gateway (Default Gateway field).
Type in a new IP Gateway.
Reset ProtoNode.
Connect the ProtoNode to same switch or router that the Device is connected.
Connect the PC to the same switch or router and change the IP Address of the PC to be
on the same subnet of the Device and the ProtoNode.
Record the IP Address assigned to the ProtoNode for future reference.
After setting the PC to be on the same subnet as the ProtoNode and the Device, open a web
browser on the PC and enter the new IP of the ProtoNode.

4.3.1 Select Network Protocol
Going back to the Discovery and Configuration tab, and press BMS Settings button to view/
Change the Building Management System (BMS) Settings.
Select BACnet/IP, BACnet MS/TP, Modbus TCP/IP, or Modbus RTU protocols.

4.3.1.1 Set Device Instance for each lighting panel attached to the Device
The Device Instance can be set independently of the site administrator.
As an example:
A Device Instance is a BACnet Node-ID which is obtained by the network administrator.
Each lighting panel connected to the Device will have its own BACnet Device Instance.
The values allowed for a BACnet Device Instance can range from 1 to 4,194,303.
With the default BACnet Device Instance value of 50,000 the Device Instances values
generated will be within the range of 50,000 plus the incremental number of lighting panels that
are connected to the ProtoNode. The first lighting panel will therefore be 50,000.
To assign a specific Device Instance (or range); change the Device instance value to assigned
value of the first lighting panel.
The Web Configurator will be displayed as the landing page.
Figure 15: BACnet/IP Settings Window
Cooper Lighting Solutions ProtoNode Startup Guide
Page 18 of 60
4.3.1.2 BACnet MS/TP (FPC-N34): Setting the MAC Address BACnet Network
Only 1 MAC address is set for ProtoNode regardless of how many light panels are connected to
ProtoNode.
Set the BACnet MS/TP MAC address of the ProtoNode to a value between 1 to 127 (MAC
Master Addresses); this is so that the BMS Front End can find the ProtoNode via BACnet auto
discovery.
Note: Never set a BACnet MS/TP MAC Address from 128 to 255. Addresses from 128 to
255 are Slave Addresses and can not be discovered by BMS Front Ends that support auto
discovery of BACnet MS/TP devices.
Enter the following details into the web configuration as per Figure 16 below:
Device Instance – Enter a range between 1 and 4,194,303.
Name – Enter the name of the Device.
Location – Enter the location of the lighting panel.
Device Instance Offset – Default of 50000 so that Device Instance begins at 50001.
Network Number – Leave as default unless instructed by BMS integrator.
Baud Rate – Enter a value of 9600, 19200, 38400, or 76800.

Panels Connected to the Device
Click on the “Start Discovery” button to enter the port, network address, Panel Address and
Number of Panels for the Device.
o After entering the Device details, click on the “Start Discovery” button and the discovery
progress bar will display.
o The discovery of a Device may take a few minutes depending on the number of items it
contains.
