Chapter 1 Summary
The KNX IP Interface is designed for an intelligent building control system, which is used for
facilitating communication between the Ethernet network and the KNX system.
The KNX IP Interface connects the KNX system with the Ethernet network via an Ethernet RJ45
interface in the front ，It serves as an interface between KNX installations and IP networks and can
configure, parameterize and commission the KNX installation as well as bus monitor via the LAN using
the ETS (ETS3 or later) software.
For operation an additional 30V DC supply is necessary. The bus connection and auxiliary power
supply connection are carried out via using KNX bus connection terminals.
The device adopts an Ethernet RJ45 interface to connect with LAN network. The network interface
can be operated with a transmission speed of 10/100Mbit/s Auto Sensing.
The IP address of the device can be fixed or can be received from a DHCP server. If you need to
remain the IP address static or here no DHCP server on the network, you can assign a fixed IP address
to the device via ETS. The device can program itself and support 5 KNX IP client connections.
The KNX IP Interface is able to use the Engineering Tool Software ETS (ETS3 or later) with a VD4
file to allocate the physical address and set the parameter. The factory default physical addresses are
15.15.255, and the address can be modified directly via local interface settings of ETS.
The KNX IP Interface is a modular installation device. It can be installed in the distribution board on
35mm mounting rails according to EN 60 715.
This manual provides the technical information about the KNX IP Interface as well as assembly and
programming in detail for users, and explains how to use the interface device by the application
examples.

Chapter 3 Parameter setting description in the ETS
3.1 Parameter window “IP settings”
Parameter window “IP setting” is shown in Fig. 3.2.
Because IP Interface and RS485 converter use the same product database, so before setting IP
Interface parameters, you must select devices first, as follow (Fig.3.1):
Fig 3.1 Choose device
Fig.3.2 parameter window “IP settings”
Parameter “Device name (Max. 30 Char.), If first char. = ‘A’ or ‘a’ use DHCP”
The parameter defines the name of the IP Interface to identify the device on the LAN. Here can
entry a maximum of 30 characters in length.
The follow points apply for setting:
If the first character is A or a, the device will work in DHCP mode, and can get an IP address
automatically from network. And the character will not disappear in the device’s name.
If the first character is F or f, the IP address of the device need set by manual. And the character will
not disappear in the device’s name.
For example:
If your device name is “Family”, and you want to use DHCP mode, Input string “AFamily”. If you
want to use Fix mode, Input string “FFamily.

If your device name is “Audio”, and you want to use DHCP mode, Input string is “AAudio”. If you
want to use Fix mode, Input string is “FAudio”. If you input “Audio”, then the device name is “udio”, and
use DHCP mode.
If your device name is start with another character, you can input the device name directly, with Fix
IP address mode, without with the “F” or “f” start. If you want to use DHCP mode, you only add “A” or “a”
at ahead of your device name.
Parameter “IP address assignment (Don’t use it if DHCP)”
The parameter indicates that the IP address assignment of the Interface is fixed if the DHCP mode
is not used.
If the DHCP mode is used, the parameter is invalid.
The fixed IP address can be assigned in the follow parameter window “IP address”, see fig. 3.3.
Parameter “If you use private protocol, the port is”
The parameter is not used.
3.2 Parameter window “IP address”
Parameter window “IP address” is shown in fig. 3.3. Here set network connection information, such
as IP address, Subnet mask and Default gateway.
If the IP Interface use DHCP mode, the parameters are invalid in the window.

Parameter “IP address”
The parameter defines the IP address of the IP Interface, the IP address is unique on the LAN, to
avoid collide. Option: Byte x: 0…255
The IP address should be entered in a byte-by-byte manner, e.g. as follows for address
192.168.1.10:
Byte1: 192
Byte2: 168
Byte3: 1
Byte4: 10
Parameter “Subnet mask”
The parameter defines the subnet mask of the IP Interface. The subnet mask must be set to reflect
the number and structure of the subnet. Option: Byte x: 0…255
In a small network the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 should be set as follows:
Byte1: 255
Byte2: 255
Byte3: 255
Byte4: 0
Parameter “default gateway”
The parameter defines the default gateway. The default gateway must be the same network
segment with the IP address. Option: Byte x: 0…255
The default gateway 192.168.1.1 should be set as follows:
Byte1: 192
Byte2: 168
Byte3: 1
Byte4: 1
