The Apricum IP interface
UIM
ip
is a tunneling
1
device and connects a personal computer to
the KNX TP bus. The device uses no KNX communication objects for itself. With the ETS
or with another KNX compatible commissioning tool the
UIM
ip
can be used as
the programming interface. For this purpose the device provides up to four additional physical
addresses
2
that can be used for tunneling connections.
Four LEDs and two buttons are located on the front panel as illustrated below. The device
offers diagnostic features by displaying all operational states with combined LEDs
(see
). The LEDs indicate details concerning the bus state, traffic on
the KNX bus, error/faulty communication NACK, BUSY on the bus, etc.

Information basics about tunnelling and device management: The presence of the Internet
Protocol (IP) has led to the definition of KNXnet/IP. KNXnet/IP provides the means
for point-to-point connections like “KNXnet/IP Tunneling” for ETS and/or between
a supervisory system and a KNX installation. The KNXnet/IP Device Management provides
configuring KNXnet/IP devices via the KNX network effectively. Additionally, with this
the time required for network configurations is reduced.

Please note that in this document the term “physical address” means the “physical address”
as well as the “individual address”. Both of these terms are used by the KNX organisation
interchangeably
.
In this document only the term “physical address” is used
