The gateway manager maintains the connections to the KNXnet/IP devices which are connected to the KNX system. The gateway definition table defines all the KNXnet/IP interfaces and routers that are used within the project.
| Info |
|---|
| ! No telegrams are sent to the offline gateways. |
| Info |
|---|
! This definition file can also be generated using the ETS app import wizard (Studio → KNX → Inport NETx ETS App file ...) which generates the KNX gateway definitions from an exported ETS project. |
The structure of the gateway definition file is as follows:
'Syntax of the Gateway Definition Table: 'IP Address;Type;Port;Name;Locality;Description ;Options
'
192.168.1.1;IGS;51000; GATE 1;Room 51
;pre-defined Gateway 1
192.168.1.2;NETIP;3671;Gate2;;;;;;;
192.168.1.3;EIBNODE;1634;Gate3;;;;;;;
Each line – except comment lines that start with ' – defines a single KNXnet/IP gateway.
| Info |

! The virtual "BROADCAST" gateway is added by the system and must not be defined in the table. |
