Within this configuration files, the names for the KNX main and middle groups can be specified. The structure of the definition file is as follows:


'Syntax of the Group Alias Definition Table:
'KNX Main Group Number;KNX Middle Group Number;Name of gateway;Name'
1;;Router1;Main Group 1
1;0;Router1;Middle Group 1/0
1;1;Router1;Middle Group 1/1


Each line – except comment lines that start with ' – defines a single KNX group address alias.

! This definition file can also be generated using the ETS app import wizard (Studio > KNX > Import NETx ETS App file ...) which generates the KNX group alias definitions from an exported ETS project.
