Description 

 

1.1  Introduction 

 
This document describes the integration of KNX installations into ASCII serial (EIA232 or EIA485) or ASCII IP compatible 
devices and systems using the I

ntesisBox ASCII Server 

– KNX 

gateway. 

 
The aim of this integration is to make accessible  KNX system signals and resources from any system capable  to be 
programmed to read and write simple text messages through EIA232 or EIA485 serial port or Ethernet TCP/IP port (for 
example Extron, LiteTouch systems).  
 
The gateway acts as a KNX device in its KNX interface, reading/writing points of other KNX device(s), and offering this 
point's values of KNX device(s) through its ASCII interface using simple ASCII messages. 
 
Configuration is carried out using the configuration software IntesisBox

®

 MAPS. 

 
This document assumes that the user is familiar with ASCII and KNX technologies and their technical terms.
