1.2 Functionality
From the KNX system point of view, after the start-up process, the gateway reads the points configured to be read at
the start and remains listening for changes of value of group addresses associated with internal data points. Any of
these changes, when detected, are immediately updated in memory and become available to be read by the ASCII
system in any moment.
From the ASCII system point of view, after the start up process of the gateway, IntesisBox waits for any query (ASCII
messages requesting readings of points or ASCII messages requesting writings of points) and acts according to the
message received. See ASCII interface section for details about this ASCII messages.
Each KNX group address from the KNX is associated to an ASCII, with this, all the configured points of the KNX are
seen as a single ASCII point.
When a new value is read from KNX group address, the new value is updated in the gateway's memory and made
accessible at ASCII Server interface.
