2.4 DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION
NOTE
The ProtoNode must be restarted after changes to DIP
switch settings in order for changes to take effect.
2.4.1 ProtoNode RER (DIP Switch A0–A7): Setting the MAC Address for
BACnet MS/TP
• Only 1 MAC address is set for the ProtoNode regardless of how many devices are
connected to it.
• BACnet MS/TP MAC address between 1 to 127 are a Master Address and can be
auto-discovered by BAS front end systems that support Auto Discovery.
• Address from 128 to 255 are Slave Addresses and can not be discovered by BAS
front ends that support auto discovery of BACnet MS/TP devices. Note: Never set a
BACnet MS/TP MAC Address from 128 to 255.
• Set DIP switches A0 – A7 to assign the MAC Address for BACnet MS/TP for the
ProtoNode RER (FPC-N34).
• Please refer to Appendix A1 for the full range of addresses to set Node-ID/Device
Instance/MAC address.

NOTE
When setting DIP Switches, please ensure that power to the
board is OFF.
2.4.2 ProtoNode RER: Setting the Device Instance (Node-ID) for BACnet MS/TP
and BACnet/IP
• The A Bank of DIP switches are also used to set the BACnet Device Instances.
• BACnet/IP and BACnet MS/TP Addressing: The BACnet device instances will be set
by taking the Node Offset found in Web Configurator (Section 2.4.2.1) and adding it
to the value of the A Bank DIP switches (MAC address). When more than one
device is connected to the ProtoNode, the subsequent BACnet device instances will
be sequential. The BACnet Device Instance can range from 1 to 4,194,303.
For example:
o Node Offset (default) = 0 (see NOTE below)
o A Bank DIP Switch = 11
o Device 1 Device Instance = 50011
o To change the node offset see Section 2.4.2.1. The node offset can be changed
from 50000 to 1 to 4,194,302 via the Web Configurator.
