The BTL Mark on the ProtoNode RER is a symbol that indicates to a consumer that a
product has passed a series of rigorous tests conducted by an independent laboratory
which verifies that the product correctly implements the BACnet features claimed in the
listing. The mark is a symbol of a high-quality BACnet product. For more information about
the BACnet Testing Laboratory go to: http://www.bacnetinternational.net/btl/
LonMark International is the recognized authority for certification, education, and
promotion of interoperability standards for the benefit of manufacturers, integrators and
end users.
LonMark International has developed extensive product certification
standards and tests to provide the integrator and user with confidence that products
from multiple manufacturers utilizing LonMark devices will work together. FieldServer

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, p ursuant to
part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his expense. Modifications

There are 3 DIP switches available on the QuickServer.
A –Address DIP Switch
B –Baud rate DIP Switch
S –Secondary DIP Switch
The following sections describe how to set up the DIP switches in the configuration file. To configure the use of
the DIP switches, buffers need to be declared in the “Data Arrays” section which will enable them.
To configure DIP switches A0-A7 to adjust the Device Id, BACnet MAC address, or both, the dynamic parameters
field needs to be added to the configuration file.
To configure DIP switches B0-B3 to adjust the baud rate, the dynamic parameters field needs to be added to the
configuration file.

The S0 - S3 DIP switch selection is read directly into a Data Array. This Data Array value can be used for customized
operations such as config file selection which allows a FieldServer to be loaded with several configurations /
profiles that are selected based on a Data Array value. See the example below where a Config Table and Dynamic
Parameter can be used in conjunction with the DIP Switches to achieve this type of customization. .
In this example, 5 configs will need to be downloaded to the QuickServer: config.csv (base config), profile1.csv,
profile2.csv, profile3.csv and profile4.csv. The profile configs will be configured as per FieldServer standard
configuration templates. The base config will be used to select the appropriate profile config to load.
Note: In this example the value 0 has no operation, so if 0 is read on the dip switches no profile will be loaded.
Similarly values larger than 4 will be ignored.

Before contacting Technical support to report an issue, go to Start|Programs|FieldServer utilities|Tools and run
the FST_Diag program. Take a log (See ENote0058 in the folder called Library on the USB Flash Drive). Send this
log together with a detailed description of the problem to [e-mail] for evaluation.
Note that while all necessary documentation is shipped with the FieldServer on the USB flash drive, these

Please Note that RFC standards allocate the IP address range of 192.0.0.0 through to 223.255.255.255 to be used
in Class-C subnetting (i.e.: Subnets listed as 255.255.255.xxx, where xxx can vary based on filtering required).
Consequently, the IP stack for this product will not allow any IP addresses in this range to be allocated a subnet
that does not fall within the Class C range.
