1. General Features
EAE KNX IP Routers are similar to TP line couplers, except that they use Ethernet for the main line.
However, it is also possible to directly integrate KNX end devices via IP, making Ethernet respectively
IP (Internet Protocol) a KNX medium.
EAE KNX IP Router is a tunnelling and routing device. It can be used as line- or backbone coupler and
provides a data connection between the upper KNXnet/IP line (main line or backbone) and the lower
TP KNX bus line (sub line). It also provides with the tunnelling protocol a connection point for ETS to
enable commissioning and monitoring.
IPR100 can also connect two separate installations/systems
Following highlights are characterising EAE KNX IP Router:
- Support of long messages up to 250 byte. In combination with EAE IPR100 line coupler and USB
interface “UIM-KNX 42” long messages are made possible (e.g. energy metering applications).
- It provides the tunnelling protocol, a connection point for ETS to enable commissioning and
monitoring (4 parallel connections are possible).
- IPR100 can be used for replacing a line coupler or an area coupler. The best advantage of this
change is using LAN as a fast medium for exchange of telegrams between the lines and/or areas.
- sending IAK on own message: sending of immediate acknowledged (IACK) on a frame that is sent by
the EAE KNX device itself.
When the IPR100 sends a message and there is nobody to acknowledge this message, the it would
repeat the last message up to 3 times. In case there is an IACK, there will be no repetition. The failure
mechanism in case of a negative IACK or BUSY is still maintained.
- switching off the filter table with a button on the device without reconfiguring the device with ETS,
necessary for fast diagnostic on site. It can temporarily disable filtering of messages by pressing a
button. This eases commissioning and debugging of the system. The temporary access to other lines
is possible without download from ETS.
- Automatically switching on filter tables and filtering of device oriented tables after time out. Time
out is ETS configurable. No forgetting of reactivating the tables anymore.
- Routing of all physically addressed messages (no filtering of device oriented messages), no matter
of own physical address, on press of a button on the device without reconfiguring the device with
ETS.
- High internal amount of communication buffers capable smoothing peeks in communication load.
- Detailed possibility for diagnosis by displaying all operational states with 6 duo LEDs. (Bus OK (each
line), traffic (each line), errors/faulty communication NACK, BUSY on the bus (each line), state of the
filter table …)
- UPnP available to discover the device in IP network. The ETS can discover the device as
communication interface through Eibnet/IP Search Request.
- WEB interface: currently providing device settings and an opportunity to switch on to program
mode.

1.1. Communication Objects
IPR100 has no KNX communication objects.
1.2. IPR1000 as Programming Interface
IPR100 can be used together with the ETS as a programming interface. The device provides an
additional physical address for this purpose which can be used for a tunneling connection.
1.3. Tunneling
The presence of the Internet Protocol (IP) has led to the definition of KNXnet/IP.
KNXnet/IP provides the means for point-to-point connections -KNXnet/IP Tunnelling- for ETS and/or
between a supervisory system and a KNX installation.
KNXnet/IP Device Management provides configuration of KNXnet/IP devices through the KNX network
effectively reducing the time required for configuration.
1.4. Routing
Routing is how lines or areas may interconnect using IP networks via KNXnet/IP.
KNXnet/IP Routing defines how KNXnet/IP routers communicate with each other using IP networks.
1.5. Coupler
The basic functionality of IPR100 is coupling the Ethernet with KNX-TP line(s).
IPR100 provides galvanic isolation between the two connected lines.
Due to the flexibility of IPR100, the coupler can be used as a line coupler e.g. to connect trough
Ethernet several TP lines together, as a backbone coupler to connect trough Ethernet several TP areas
or to connect different TP installations/systems.
The main task of IPR100 is filtering the traffic according the installation place in the hierarchy or
according to the built-in filter tables for group oriented communication.
The IPR100 provides outstanding features compared to other similar products, for example support
for long messages (up to 250 byte length) and a configurable one button activation of special functions
(e.g. transmit all group telegrams). These are helpful during installation, during run time and for
trouble shooting. The high informative 6 duo LED display shows accurate the bus status on each line.
This helps identifying common communication problems due to bus load or retransmissions on both
lines.

2.4. KNX Telegrams in the network
The IP Router sends telegrams from/to the KNX to/from the IP network in accordance with the
KNXnet/IP protocol specification. These telegrams are sent in the default setting as multicast telegrams
to the multicast IP address 224.0.23.12 port 3671. The Multicast IP address 224.0.23.12 is the defined
address for the KNXnet/IP from the KNX Association in conjunction with the IANA. This address should
stay as defined and only changed if it becomes necessary due to the existing network. By
commissioning, it should be regarded that all KNX IP devices which should communicate with one
another via IP must use the same IP routing multicast address.
Settings can be changed in the “General Parameters”.
NOTE: Multicast IP address 224.0.23.12 may need to be enabled corresponding to the type of network
and the setting of the network components.

2.5. IPR100 as Area Coupler
IPR100 in a KNX system can assume the function of an area coupler.
For this purpose, physical address of an area coupler must between 1.0.0 and 15.0.0 .
Up to 15 areas can be defined with area couplers.
The following illustration shows the topology with IPR100 as area couplers and LC100 as line couplers.

IPR100 in a KNX system can assume the function of a line coupler.
For this purpose, it must receive the physical address of a line coupler (1.1.0 till 15.15.0).
Up to 225 lines can be defined (1.1.0 till 15.15.0).

2.6. IPR100 in Mixed Systems
If it is necessary in a KNX system to use the IPR100 at one point as an area coupler, e.g. office complex,
and at another point as a line coupler, e.g. a remote underground garage; this is possible.
It is only necessary to ensure that the IPR100 used as a line coupler uses a line coupler address from a
free area.

6. Application Description
If the coupler receives telegrams (for example during commissioning) which use a physical address as
destination address, it compares the physical addresses of the receiver with its own physical address
and then decides whether it must route the telegrams or not.
The coupler reacts to telegrams with group addresses in accordance with its parameter settings. During
normal operation (default setting), the coupler only routes those telegrams whose group addresses
have been entered in its filter table.
If the coupler routes a telegram and does not receive an acknowledgement, or if a bus device finds a
transmission error, the coupler repeats the telegram three times. With the parameters „Repetitions if
errors...“, this behavior can be set separately for both lines. These parameters should be left in the
default setting.
