2: Using the ProtoCom/ProtoCom-Lon
NOTES:
• When the S bank of switches are all off (this is the default setting) BACnet/IP is
enabled.
• The OFF position is when the DIP switches are set closest to the outside of the
box.
• On the ProtoCom-Lon, the S bank DIP switches are disabled, since the Field
Protocol is always LonWorks.
2.3: Step Three - Enable Auto-discovery
The ProtoCom/ProtoCom-Lon has an Auto-discovery feature that lets it determine the
EIG meter model it is connected to, and automatically load the appropriate points list
for the protocol you choose. This makes configuration simple. The ProtoCom/Proto-
Com-Lon allows a user to put different EIG meters on the RS485 bus or Ethernet con-
nection, and have the ProtoCom/ProtoCom-Lon automatically discover them and
make them available via the selected protocol.
Auto-discovery is set in the S Dip Switch bank’s S3 switch (see DIP Switch figure on
the previous page). The setting configuration is shown in the table below.
When installing the ProtoCom for the first time, set S3 to the ON position to enable
Auto-discovery. The ON position is when the DIP switches are set closest to the inside
of the box.
NOTE: Some meters, such as PQMII, may not be auto-discoverable. In this case, you
need to set them up using the Web Configurator. See 1.8: Web Configurator, on
page 1-11 , for instructions
