Interface settings within ETS

Within the ETS, KNX interfaces can be selected and set up via the ETS menu “Bus Interfaces”.
The ETS can access configured KNX IP Interfaces even without a database entry. If the setup of the KNX IP Interface does not comply with the conditions of the KNX installation it must be configured via an ETS project.
See the ETS database section for more information.
As factory default the assignment of the IP address is set to “automatically via DHCP” and thus no further settings are necessary. To use this feature a DHCP server on the LAN must exist (e.g. many DSL routers have an integrated DHCP server).
After connecting the KNX IP Interface to the LAN and the KNX bus it should automatically appear in the ETS within the menu “Bus” under “Discovered interfaces”.
By clicking on the discovered interface it is selected as the current interface. On the right side of the ETS window all specific information and options of the connection appear.
The indicated device name and the “Host Individual Address” (individual address of the device) can be changed within your ETS project then.
Like all programmable KNX devices the KNX IP Interface 200 has an individual address which can be used to access the device. This is used, for example, of the ETS when downloading to the KNX IP Interface via the bus.
For the interface function the device contains additional individual addresses that can be set in the ETS (ETS 4.2 or higher). When a client (e.g. ETS) sends via the KNX IP Interface telegrams to the bus, they contain a sender address as one from the additional addresses. Each address is associated with a connection. Thus response telegrams can be clearly transmitted to the respective client.
The additional individual addresses must be selected from the address range of the bus line in which the interface is installed and may not be used by another device.
Example:

Section “Individual Address” enables you to change the individual KNX address of the currently used KNXnet/IP Tunneling connection. To check if the address you want to assign is unique within your KNX installation you can click the button “Address free?”
The individual KNX device address and the individual addresses for additional tunneling connections can be changed within the ETS project after the device has been added to the project.

ETS Database

The ETS database (for ETS 4.2 ETS or higher) can be downloaded from the product website of the KNX IP Interface 200 (https://www.eaetechnology.com). For existing installations a database for ETS 4 and higher versions are also available.
When using the ETS® product database for ETS 4 / 5 some settings are displayed in addition to the parameter dialog of the Properties dialog (on the right side of the ETS window). So the IP settings can be done here. In the ETS 4 or higher also the additional individual addresses will appear. In the ETS 5 those addresses appear in the topology view.

Each individual KNX address can be changed by clicking on the list entry and typing in the desired address into the “Individual Address” text field. If the text field frame switches to color red after entering the address, the address is already taken within your ETS project.
Make sure that none of the addresses above is already in use within your KNX installation.
If the physical KNX addresses of the tunneling connections have been assigned via the ETS project, a manual address setting on the device is not allowed.
By clicking on the KNX IP Interface 200 device entry within your ETS projects topology view, an information column ‘Properties’ will appear on the right side of the ETS window. Within the ‘Settings’ overview, you can change the name of the device.

Within the “IP” overview the IP network specific options of the KNX IP Interface 200 can be changed.
By changing “obtain an IP address automatically (via DHCP)” to “Use a static IP address” (static IP address) the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway can be set freely.
All changes in the properties menu become effective only after a successful application download.

7.1. IP Address
Here the IP address of the KNX IP Interface 200 can be entered. This is used to address the device via the IP network (LAN). The IP addressing should be coordinated with the administrator of the network.
7.2. Subnet Mask
Enter the subnet mask here. The device uses the values entered in this mask to determine whether there is a communication partner in the local network. If there is no partner in the local network, the device will not send the telegrams directly to the partner but to the gateway that routes the telegram.
7.3. Default Gateway
Enter the IP address of the gateway here, e.g. the DSL router of the installation.

7.4. Multicast Address Change
Multicast address assignment can be configured.

7.5. Example of assigning IP addresses

A PC is used to access the KNX IP Interface 200

IP address of the PC| 192.168.1.30
Subnet of the PC| 255.255.255.0

The KNX IP Interface 200 is located in the same local LAN, i.e. it uses the same subnet. The subnet constrains the IP addresses that can be assigned. In this example, the IP address of the IP interface must be 192.168.1.xx, where xx can be a number from 1 to 254 (with the exception of 30, which is already in use). It must be ensured that no numbers are assigned twice.

7.6. ETS parameter dialogue
The following parameters can be set using the ETS.
7.7. General settings

7.8. Programming mode on device front

In addition to the normal programming button ❸ the device allows activating the programming mode on the device front without opening the switchboard cover. The programming mode can be activated and deactivated via pressing simultaneously both buttons
❼ and ❽. This feature can be enabled and disabled via the parameter “Prog. mode on device front”. The recessed programming button ❸ (next to the Programming LED ❷) is always enabled and not influenced by this parameter.
7.9. Manual operation on device
The manual operation of the KNX IP Interface 200 only contains the status display. This parameter sets the duration of the manual mode. Upon completion the normal display mode is restored.

Programming

8.1. Via the KNX bus
The device only needs to be connected to the KNX bus. The ETS requires an additional interface (for example, USB) to have access to the bus. Via this way both the individual address and the entire application including IP configuration can be programmed. Programming via the bus is recommended if no IP connection can be established.
8.2. Via KNXnet/IP Tunneling
No additional interface is required. Programming via KNXnet/IP Tunneling is possible if the device already has a valid IP configuration (e.g. via DHCP). In this case the device is displayed in the interface configuration of the ETS and must be selected. The download is executed via the ETS project as with many other devices.

WARNING

• The device must be mounted and commissioned by an authorized electrician.
• The prevailing safety rules must be heeded.
• The device must not be opened.
• For planning and construction of electric installations, the relevant guidelines, regulations and standards of the respective country are to be considered.
