5.2.4.1 Manually Setting the KNXnet/IP Router
The “Enable IP parameter settings” checkbox defines the behavior of the plug-in.
If the checkbox is unchecked, manually setting the parameters is not possible and
these settings are not transferred to the device during a download. If the checkbox
is checked, the IP parameters can be set manually.
The following information is required for consultation with your network
administrator in order to configure the KNXnet/IP Router manually:
• IP Address
An IP address (Internet protocol address) is a number for addressing
computers and other devices in an IP network.
• Subnet mask
The subnet mask is a bit mask separating an IP address into a network and a
device or host component. It is used on IP networks to make routing
decisions.
• Standard gateway
A gateway is an interface between different transmission protocols.
Depending on the network structure, it may have different features but it is
valid for the whole network.
• Routing multicast address
The IP routing multicast address routes telegrams via IP.
The multicast IP address 224.0.23.12 was reserved by IANA (Internet
Assigned Numbers Authority) for this purpose (KNXnet/IP or EibNet/IP). If
a different multicast IP address is required, it must originate from the range
239.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.
• MAC address
The MAC address represents the unique identification of a network-capable
device. This address cannot be changed. The MAC address consists of 48
bits, numbered from 47 to 0. The addresses are usually written in
hexadecimal format, e.g., 00:30:DE:01:40:22.
Use hexadecimal notation for the MAC address!
This hexadecimal format is also used by the KNXnet/IP Router; you should
therefore use this notation.
The [Scan IP] button allows users to search the network for the IP address of the
router specified by the MAC address. If a device matching the MAC address is
not found, an appropriate message is generated (<not found>).
An automatic device search is also performed directly after opening the
parameters dialog.
