ProtoNode Quick Install Guide  

1.0  Introduction   

ProtoNode is a multi-protocol client/server device that is reliable to network serial and Ethernet devices.  
The ProtoNode works with SNMP, MODBUS RTU (Serial), MODBUS TCP, BACnet IP, BACnet MSTP(Serial), 
EtherNet/IP and Metasys N2. This Quick Install Guide provides the necessary information to set up and 
use the ProtoNode as quickly as possible.

3.0  Installing the ProtoNode 

Step 1: Installation of the ProtoNode Hardware 

Each ProtoNode has a unique serial number and MAC address located on the underside of the unit. 

These numbers should be recorded as they may be required for technical support. 

 

Serial Number: _________________________________________________ 

 

MAC Address: __________________________________________________ 

 

1.

 

A DB-9 cable should be connected between the Serial 1 port on the ProtoNode and the 

serial port of the Toshiba UPS RS-232 port (See Figure 1).  NOTE: for G8000 UPS use a 

straight serial cable. Use a gender changer if needed. 

 

2.

 

Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the ProtoNode RJ45 port and the other end to 
your computer (switch or Hub) RJ45 port. NOTE: The ProtoNode Ethernet port automatically 
senses an uplink connection, and may therefore be connected to a PC or a hub/switch using 
either a crossover cable (not supplied) or a direct Ethernet cable (supplied). 

3.

 

Connect the 5-30 VDC power supply adapter to the terminal block in the back of the 
ProtoNode.
