4.1.3 Device – IP Configuration
The following picture shows the IP settings of the unit:
Figure 12: Device – IP Settings
Obtain an IP address automatically
The unit obtains the address automatically. A DHCP server needs to be available.
Use a static IP address
The user specifies a fixed IP address.
Subnet Mask/Standard Gateway
This can only be set with the setting "Use a static IP address".
The netmask is used by the unit to determine whether a communication partner is in the local
network. If a partner is not in the local network, the unit does not send the telegrams directly to the
partner, but to the gateway, which takes over the forwarding.
The setting of the gateway makes it possible for networks based on different protocols to
communicate with each other.
Note: If the KNX IP Router is only to be used in the local LAN, the entry 0.0.0.0 can remain.
The network settings of the communicating PC can be read in the network settings of the PC.
