KNX gateway definitions
File location
<WorkspaceDirectory>\DataFiles\nxaGatewayDefinitions.40.dat
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.
No telegrams are sent to the offline gateways.
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.
