From now on, and with the aim of easy the read of this document, the words "gateway" or “IntesisBox” are used instead of IntesisBox BACnet/IP Server - KNX. Any other use of the word "gateway" not meaning IntesisBox BACnet/IP Server - KNX will be specifically indicated. -
Page 6: Functionality
® IntesisBox BACnet/IP Server - KNX User’s Manual r18 eng 1.2 Functionality The integration operation is as follow: From the KNX system point of view, in the startup process of the gateway and also after a detection of a KNX bus reset, the gateway polls the KNX signals configured to be updated in this situation and maintain the received values in memory to be served to the BACnet system when requested. -
Page 7: Capacity Of Intesisbox
KNX group address of the KNX system can actuate on the same gateway's point. There are two different models of IntesisBox BACnet/IP Server - KNX, with different capacity every one of them. • Tiny model supporting connection to up to 100 internal data points. -
Page 8: Interfaces
This section gives the reader an idea on how a KNX system/installation is integrated with IntesisBox BACnet. It is not meant to provide an in-depth explanation on how BACnet or KNX technology work as understanding the protocol principles is assumed throughout this document. - Page 9 – in this way, the device gets the latest value of the group addresses it has associated right from its start-up. Each datapoint defined in IntesisBox KNX configuration needs to have at least a single KNX group address associated with it. This group address will be used either for sending updates...
- Page 10 Also, a dummy ETS application is provided by Intesis Software (section 6), which can be imported into ETS. This application is nor downloadable into IntesisBox BACnet neither usable for IntesisBox configuration. Rather, it poses as a means of having a device in the ETS project representing the IntesisBox BACnet and its own datapoints/communication objects, and to which group addresses are associated.

Inactive text: text for the “Inactive_Text” property of all the Binary objects. 5.1.2 Signals configuration Select the Signals tab (Figure 5.6) to configure the signals list (the IntesisBox internal points). More information about the meaning of the columns can be found in the tables below. - Page 18 ® IntesisBox BACnet/IP Server - KNX User’s Manual r18 eng Description Description Signal’s description (optional). Used to describe the signal at user level. This description entered here is included into the BACnet's Description property for the point and thus it will be collected by any BACnet explorer.
- Page 19 Listening addresses Description KNX group addresses that will be listened by IntesisBox for this signal. If IntesisBox receives a KNX telegram whose destination is one of these listening addresses, the telegram will be taken into account and the corresponding action will be performed on this signal.
- Page 20 When “U” is selected it disables the R flag. Comments DO NOT BE CONFUSED: Philosophy of IntesisBox point's U flag is not the same as KNX device's U flag. In KNX devices, U flag means that the point's value will be updated whenever a write telegram for the group address is received by the device.
- Page 21 ® IntesisBox BACnet/IP Server - KNX User’s Manual r18 eng Bac.Name Description BACnet object name for the signal. This name is included into the BACnet's Object_name property for the point and it will be collected by any BACnet explorer. From here a BACnet explorer or supervisor can get the KNX group.
- Page 22 ® IntesisBox BACnet/IP Server - KNX User’s Manual r18 eng Bac.ID Description BACnet object instance number for the point. It can be manually entered by the user or can be automatically assigned by LinkBoxBacnet when saving the configuration (section 5.1.3)

Page 28: Import Ets Files To Linkboxbacnet
Group addresses (CSV format: 1/1 tab separated) and Esf files can be imported from ETS to LinkBoxBacnet. This allows the integration of the ETS group addresses in your IntesisBox. How to access to this functionality is explained in section 5.1.2. Both importation methods open a new window (Figure 6.1). - Page 29 ® IntesisBox BACnet/IP Server - KNX User’s Manual r18 eng Once the file has been loaded the importation can be done. To do so Select the desired lines, configure the parameters (details in the following lines) and click on “Import”. A pop- up message with the summary of the importation shows up once it’s been done.
