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 correspondin
g “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.
