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.
! 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:
Each line – except comment lines that start with ' – defines a KNXnet/IP gateway.
! The virtual "BROADCAST" gateway is added by the system and must not be defined in the table.
