Configuring the connection to the KNX Network

The KNXnet/IP driver’s connection to the physical network can now be configured.
Prerequisites: The KNX network driver has been added to the Drivers node and the Data Defs loaded in Workbench and the station.
  1. To open the KnxNetwork Property Sheet, right-click the KnxNetwork node in the Nav tree, click Views > AX Property Sheet, and expand the Local Interfaces > Local Interface properties.

    A default Local Interface has been added to the KNXnet/IP driver and a default Knx Installation has been added to the Local Interface.
  2. Select the Adapter Id to use for this connection to the physical KNX Network.
     
    NOTE: You can add additional Local Interfaces from the palette for each of the platform’s TCP/IP Interfaces to use for connecting to a physical KNX Network. All the Local Interfaces in the station must have different Adapter Ids.

    NOTE: If you are using more than one Knx IP Multicast Address, you can add additional Knx Installation instances from the palette to any Local Interface. All the Knx Installation instances under a Local Interface must have different Knx IP Multicast Addresses.
     
  4. To update the database, click Save.
You are now ready to add KNXnet/IP interface devices to the KNX network driver.
