2 INTRODUCTION
2.1 ProtoAir Gateway
The ProtoAir gateway is a high-performance, multi-protocol IIoT gateway that is preconfigured to auto-
discover any of Eaton’s products (hereafter called “device”) connected to the ProtoAir and automatically
configures them for BACnet® MS/TP, BACnet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP or Modbus RTU.
It is not necessary to download any configuration files to support the required applications. The ProtoAir is
pre-loaded with tested profiles/configurations for the supported devices.

3.3 Configuring Device Communications
The device needs to be on the same IP subnet as the ProtoAir and the configuration PC.
Record the following device information for Greengate and iLumin setup:
oIP Address
oIP Port
oPanel Address (Greengate only)
oNumber of Panels (Greengate only)
NOTE: This information is required for Section 6.
NOTE: The iLumin application requires a iLumin configuration file to load device details.
NOTE: These parameters are not required for Fifth Light application.

4 INTERFACING PROTOAIR TO DEVICE
4.1 Wiring Field Port to RS-485 BMS Network
Connect the RS-485 network wires to the 3-pin RS-485 connector on ProtoAir FPA-W34 as
shown in Figure 5.
oUse standard grounding principles for RS-485 GND
See Section 5 for information on connecting to BACnet/IP network.
If the ProtoAir is the last device on the Serial trunk, then the End-Of-Line Termination Switch
needs to be enabled. (Figure 6)
oThe default setting from the factory is OFF (switch position = left side)
oTo enable the Termination, turn the EOL switch ON (switch position = right side)

12V DC
24V DC
FPA –W34 (Typical)
170mA
100mA
FPA –W34 (Maximum)

140mA
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.
Figure 7: Required Current Draw for the ProtoAir
Apply power to the ProtoAir as shown below in Figure 8. Ensure that the power supply used complies
with the specifications provided in Appendix D.1.
The ProtoAir accepts 12-24V DC on pins 4 and 5.
Frame GND should be connected.

5 CONNECT THE PC TO THE PROTOAIR OVER ETHERNET
5.1 Connecting to the ProtoAir via the Ethernet Port
Connect a CAT5 Ethernet cable (straight through or cross-over) between the local PC and
ProtoAir.
The default IP Address for the ProtoAir Ethernet connection is 192.168.1.24, Subnet Mask is
255.255.255.0. If the PC and ProtoAir are on different IP networks, assign a static IP Address to
the PC on the 192.168.1.xxx network.
For Windows 7 or later:
Go to > > >
>
Then right-click on Local Area Connection then click Properties
Highlight then click
Use the following IP Address:
Click twice.

5.2 Using the FieldServer Toolbox to Discover and Connect to the ProtoAir
Install the FS Toolbox application from the USB drive or get it from the Sierra Monitor website.
Use the FS Toolbox to find the ProtoAir IP Address and connect for configuration.
NOTE: If the connect button is greyed out, the ProtoAir’s IP Address must be set to be on the
same network as the PC.

Eaton ProtoAir Start-Up Guide
Page 15 of 66
5.3 Select System
After setting the PC on the same subnet as the ProtoAir, open a web browser on the PC and
enter the IP Address of the ProtoAir; the Ethernet default address is 192.168.1.24.
oThe Select System Page will appear the first time the FieldServer is accessed.
Select the desired protocol.
The Web Configurator landing page will now appear.
NOTE: If the wrong protocol was selected, click the “Clear Configuration” or “Switch to another
product” button to reset the GUI and go back to the Select System Page.

5.4 Updating Network Settings
From the Web Configurator, Click the Network Settings tab to open the Network Settings page for the
ProtoAir.
Modify the IP Address (N1 IP Address field) of the ProtoAir Ethernet port.
If necessary, change the Netmask (N1 Netmask field).
If necessary, change the IP Gateway (Default Gateway field).
NOTE: If the ProtoAir is connected to a managed switch/router, the IP Gateway of the ProtoAir
should be set to the IP Address of that managed switch/router.
Click the “System Restart” button at the bottom of the page to apply changes and restart the
ProtoAir.
Unplug Ethernet cable from PC and connect it to the network switch or router.
Record the IP Address assigned to the ProtoAir for future reference.

6 CONFIGURING THE PROTOAIR
6.1 Select BMS 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.

6.1.1.1 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 ProtoAir. 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 14: BACnet/IP Settings Window

Eaton ProtoAir Start-Up Guide
Page 19 of 66
6.1.1.2 BACnet MS/TP: Setting the MAC Address BACnet Network
Only 1 MAC address is set for ProtoAir regardless of how many light panels are connected to
ProtoAir.
Set the BACnet MS/TP MAC address of the ProtoAir to a value between 1 to 127 (MAC Master
Addresses); this is so that the BMS Front End can find the ProtoAir via BACnet 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 15 below:
Device Instance –Enter a range between 1 and 4,194,303 for the ProtoAir.
Name –Enter a name for the ProtoAir.
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.

6.2 Greengate/iLumin: Discover and Configure Light Panels Connected to the
ProtoAir
For Greengate, click on the “Start Discovery” button to enter the port, network address, panel
address and number of panels for the device.
For iLumin, click on the “Start Discovery” button to enter the port, network address and iLumin
config file to load for the device.
