Commissioning
General
The device can be inserted and commissioned as either a media coupler or a seg-
ment coupler (segment coupler only from ETS6.0.5 onwards with an application pro-
gram intended for this purpose). In RF lines, use purely as an RF repeater is also
possible.
The device operates as a media coupler when it is given a physical address in the
form x.y.0 (line coupler) or x.0.0 (backbone coupler) (x = area address, y = line ad-
dress).
The device operates as a segment coupler or as a repeater in RF lines when it is as-
signed a physical address in the form x.y.1...255.
In an RF domain, always commission the media coupler first! Only then should any
optional additional repeaters and all other participants of the RF installation be pro-
grammed. Ideally, install and connect the repeater after the media coupler has been
completely commissioned.
Precondition: An appropriate device must be created and configured in the ETS pro-
ject. Device has been connected and the power is switched on.
Project design and commissioning with ETS5 or a more recent version.
Project design and commissioning as segment coupler with ETS from version
6.0.5 onwards.
Programming mode is deactivated after the physical address has been suc-
cessfully programmed, or is generally deactivated by a device test (power fail-
ure, ETS programming process of the application program). Programming
mode is also deactivated automatically after 4 minutes if none of the above
events occurs.
Commissioning the device as media coupler or segment coupler
As delivered, the device can be programmed and commissioned via the TP side (e.g.
with the use of suitable USB or IP data interfaces) or via the RF side (e.g. with a KNX
RF USB data interface).
After a successful initial commissioning, access to the device for programming may
be restricted because of an active configuration lock (see chapter "Configuration
lock"
■
Press the programming button (2) (see figure 1).
The status LED (3) lights up red. Programming mode is activated.
■
Load the physical address into the device. The ETS also automatically loads
the domain address of the RF line into the device.
The red status LED goes out.
