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.
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.
! The virtual "BROADCAST" gateway is added by the system and must not be defined in the table.
| 1 | IP Address | This attribute specifies the IP address of the KNXnet/IP gateway. The IP address is also used to uniquely identify the gateway within the server. Therefore, it must be unique within the whole network. | |
| 2 | Type | The type of the KNXnet/IP gateway. "IGS" refers to ABB IG/S, EIBNODE to b.a.b - technologie eibnode, and NETIP to all other KNXnet/IP routers and interfaces. | |
| 3 | UDP Port | This attributes represents the UDP port number which is used to connect to the gateway. | |
| 4 | Name | It is used to give the gateway a human-readable name (can be any user-defined string). | |
| 5 | Locality | This attribute can be used to specify the location of the gateway (can be any user-defined string). | |
| 6 | Description | This attribute can be used to specify a human-readable text that further describes the gateway (can be any user-defined string). | |
| 7 | Options | If the gateway is of type "EIBNODE", the SenderNetID has to be specified here. | |
| 8 - 11 | Path, Extended Data 1 - 3 | These columns are for internal use only. |
