3.2. Configuration and control of the Gira HomeServer
Access to the Gira HomeServer works in a similar way to access to the KNX installation. On the one
hand, the KNX installation is accessed via the Gira HomeServer using the Eiblib/IP protocol, while on
the other hand, the configuration is supported with the Expert. In addition, you can access the KNX
installation directly via the interface function of the Gira S1. Here too, all data transmitted via the Inter
-
net is encrypted.

Note
Since automatic detection is not possible for the Eiblib/IP and the HomeServer configuration protocol,
the following must be observed for the use of these protocols via remote access: The Gira S1 Windows
client makes protocol transmission available locally via the IP address 127.0.0.1. In other words, if an
Eiblib/IP connection is configured in the ETS, for example, 127.0.0.1 must be entered for the IP
address for use via remote access (instead of the IP address of the Gira HomeServer on the remote
network). The same applies for downloading with the Expert. For more information, see chapter 10.3.2
“Configuring the Gira HomeServer remotely and using the Eiblib/IP”.
