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.
The structure of the gateway definition file is as follows:
'Syntax of the Gateway Definition Table:
'IP Address;Type;Port;Name;Locality;Description ;Options'
192.168.1.2;NETIP;3671;Router1;;;;;;;
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 | IP | 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 | Gateway Type | Enum | The type of the KNXnet/IP gateway. SEC_NETIP for secure KNXnet/IP tunnelling, NETIP for native KNXnet/IP tunnelling and NETIP_ROUTING for native KNXnet/IP Routing |
| 3 | Port | UDP or TCP port | This attributes represents the UDP or TCP port number which is used to connect to the gateway. |
| 4 | Name | String | It is used to give the gateway a human-readable name (can be any user-defined string). |
| 5 | Locality | String | This attribute can be used to specify the location of the gateway (can be any user-defined string). |
| 6 | Description | String | This attribute can be used to specify a human-readable text that further describes the gateway (can be any user-defined string). |
| 7 | Source phys. KNX Address | KNX phys. address | The phys. KNX address used by the NETx BMS Core. Only used for KNXnet/IP routing. |
| 8 | Network Card IP Address | IP | The local network card IP address used by the NETx BMS Core. Only used for KNXnet/IP routing. |
| 9 | Management Code | String | The management code used for authentication to a secure KNXnet/IP tunnelling device. This must be identical to the code used within the ETS. |
| 10 | Authentication Code | String | The authentication code used for authentication to a secure KNXnet/IP tunnelling device. This must be identical to the code used within the ETS. |
