3.2 Offline and Online working modes
LinkBoxBacnet allows both working Offline, this is, not having a physical connection to
IntesisBox – and also Online, meaning that IntesisBox is powered-up and there is an
established communication link between IntesisBox and the PC running the software tool.
Being offline allows for creating a new configuration project and editing it – as will be
setting BACnet parameters (device name, IP, ..) and configuration values of the DALI
ballasts to be integrated (minimum/maximum arc power level, group membership...).
An important part of IntesisBox' configuration job for a particular DALI installation needs to
be done Online, i.e., being on-site and having EIA232/serial or Ethernet/IP access to the
hardware device: According to DALI philosophy, where all ballasts keep their configuration
parameters
in
an
commissioning/configuring the ballasts in the installation while being Online.
3.3 Project definition
The tool is based on the concept of configuration projects. After starting LinkBoxBacnet by
clicking its program entry under Windows Start menu, a project manager window will pop
up asking the configuration project to open.
