KNX IP Interface wireless, Ref. 9018247 EN
Operating and installation manual
Application
The KNX IP Interface wireless is a WLAN interface to the KNX/
EIB bus. It can be used instead of a USB or wire-bound IP inter-
face, e.g. for ETS3. Utilising the wireless technology the installer
can now move unhindered throughout the building.
The KNX IP Interface wireless contains an integrated Access
Point which provides the direct connection to the device via a
WLAN network. It has an external 9 V power supply.
This device functions according to the KNXnet/IP specification. It
is compatible with ETS from version 3.0c.

ETS Database
The following parameters can be configured with ETS:
General:
Device Name:
The KNX IP Interface wireless can be assigned a name of your
choice. The device name should be descriptive. It is used to
search for and recognize a device. For example, the device
name appears in the dialog of the ETS Connection Manager.
Additionally the device name is used for WLAN network identifi-
cation (SSID, Service Set Identifier).
WLAN-Encryption:
By default, the WLAN-Encryption is disabled. That is, the in-
staller can initially connect to the WLAN network without entering
a password. The configuration attribute “enabled” activates the
WLAN connection encryption.
WLAN encryption:
Encryption standard:
WPA2-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2, pre-shared-key) is sup-
ported.
Encryption Key:
This is where you enter the encryption key (in ASCII characters,
max. 63 Zeichen). It is also possible to enter the key during the
initial connection setup phase from a PC.
Example:

To ensure a high degree of security it is advised to use a longer
key.

WLAN Connection Initiation
To create a WLAN connection from a PC or Laptop a WLAN
adaptor is required. Most new computers have an integrated
WLAN adaptor. To create a WLAN connection to the KNX IP
Interface wireless the device must first be found by the wireless
connection manager. The dialog window „Wireless Network
Connection“from Windows® lists all available wireless networks.
This can be found under „Control Panel/Network Connec-
tions/Wireless Network Connection“. It is also possible to open it
from the corresponding “Wireless networks” icon on the taskbar.
The KNX IP Interface wireless contains an integrated DHCP-
Server which will automatically assign the PC an IP address. For
most laptops this is the standard setting.
To view/modify the wireless network connection configuration
select „Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)“ and press the „Properties“
button.
In the following window „Obtain an IP address automatically“
should be selected.
ETS Connection Manager
Following the successful creation of a wireless connection the
KNX IP Interface wireless can now be used as an interface to the
KNX/EIB bus.
The following configuration is necessary:
Select the button “Settings”and the tab “Communication”in the
main window of ETS4. All available connections are listed by
“Configured connections”. Select the desired connection.
To connect to the KNX/EIB bus the KNX IP Interface wireless
requires a second physical address. The button Local settings
enables the configuration of the individual address, which is
used for bus access.
A dummy device may be created in the ETS-project to reserve
this address.

Test mode button:
While this button is pressed the device goes into test
mode. In test mode the display elements have the following
meaning:
- RUN LED: blinks slowly and indicates the device is in
test mode
- WLAN LED: off
- KNX LED: on when an active connection is available,
otherwise off
The connection to the mains (230 V~/50 Hz) is done via the en-
closed wall power supply.
The KNX IP Interface wireless is delivered in a plastic case with
the following content:
- Wall power supply (Primary: 230 V~/50 Hz, Secondary: 9 V=)
- Antenna (SMA-R connector)
- Pluggable screwing terminal for the connection of the KNX/EIB
bus
