For all these gateway types, the following Server Items are available:

item namedescription
KNX IP ConnectionThis Item reflects the KNXnet/IP tunneling connection to KNXnet/IP router or interface which is used to communicate with the KNX/DALI gateway.
FaultTrue, if there is either a DALI, lamp, or ballast fault.
Fault DALITrue, if there is a general short cut on the DALI bus.
Fault DeviceTrue, if there is a lamp or ballast fault for at least 1 DALI device.
Fault Lamps

True, if the amount of lamp faults exceeds the configured threshold. If exceeded, LaMPS is starting to test all configured devices in order to see which device(s) have a fault. 

Fault BallastTrue, if the amount of ballast faults exceeds the configured threshold. If exceeded, LaMPS is starting to test all configured devices in order to see which device(s) have a fault. 


Since these gateways also support emergency lighting, it has to be distinguished between a normal DALI test and an emergency DALI test. For normal DALI testing, the following Server Items are available:

item namedescription
Trigger TestUsed to trigger a normal DALI test for all devices.
Test RunningTrue, when a normal DALI test is currently running.

For emergency DALI testing, the following Server Items are available under the sub tree "Emergency":

item namedescription

Fault Converter

True there is the amount emergency failures exceeds the configured threshold.

Start Function TestUsed to trigger a function test for all emergency DALI lights.
Start Duration TestUsed to trigger a duration test for all emergency DALI lights.
Start Partial Duration TestUsed to trigger a partial duration test for all emergency DALI lights.
Start Battery TestUsed to trigger a battery test for all emergency DALI lights.
Stop TestUsed to stop a running test.
Emergency Light Test RunningTrue, when an emergency DALI test is currently running.


Info

Please keep in mind that these items will only appear when emergency testing is available for the gateway. For these KNX/DALI gateways at least one DALI device must support emergency lighting tests. This means that there must be a "Emergency Mapping Definition" for at least one DALI device. Note that emergency testing is only available for self contained battery lamps.

...

For each configured DALI device, a sub tree with the name "Device<number>" is shown within the Server Item Tree. Each device has at least the following Server Items:

item namedescription
NameHuman-readable name of the DALI device. The default name is "Device<number>". This name can be changed within the Device Name Mapping Definitions. 
FaultTrue, if either a lamp or a device fault occurred.
Fault LampTrue, if there is a lamp fault.
Fault BallastTrue, if there is a device fault.
Test SucceededTrue, if a response is received during the test.

If a device is also an emergency light (i.e. it has a valid emergency mapping definition), the following items are available in the sub tree "Emergency":

item namedescription
Test RunningTrue, when an emergency DALI test is currently running.
Start Function TestUsed to trigger a function test for this device.
Start Duration TestUsed to trigger a duration test for this device.
Start Partial Duration TestUsed to trigger a partial duration test for this device.
Start Battery TestUsed to trigger a battery test for this device.
