From now on, and with the aim of easy the read of this document, just the word "IntesisBox" will be used instead of the full gateway model description "IntesisBox ASCII Server - KNX". The aim of this integration is to make accessible signals and resources of any KNX/EIB system or device from any system capable of "talking"... -
Page 6: Functionality
® User’s Manual v10 r14 eng IntesisBox ASCII Server - KNX 1.2 Functionality The integration operation is as follow: From the KNX system point of view, after the start up process, the gateway reads the points configured to be read at the start, and remains listening for changes of value of group addresses associated to internal datapoints. -

IntesisBox and the use of some tools for monitoring and debugging de device. Some of these tools will be explained in this document but only some of them, the rest of available debugging tools and commands will not be explained here because they are for exclusive use under the recommendations of Intesis Software technical support. - Page 13 ® User’s Manual v10 r14 eng IntesisBox ASCII Server - KNX Project selection window To create a new project, select a project using the same external protocol you want to use in the new project and push New button. You will be prompted to create a copy of the selected project (useful for similar installations) or create a brand new one.
- Page 14 IntesisBox and the PC running LinkBoxEIB must be established (working on-line). To do so follow these steps: 1. Make sure IntesisBox is powered-up a correctly connected to the KNX system via the EIB bus and to the ASCII system via the EIA-232 connection or TCP/IP connection (consult details for connection and pin assignments in section Connections of this document).
- Page 15 1. Check the checkbox off-line under the menu bar (it will change automatically to on- line) and LinkBoxEIB will ask for INFO about the IntesisBox connected to it via the serial connection, if the connection is ok then IntesisBox will respond with its identification (this can be monitored in the IntesisBox Communication Console window, as showed below).

The External protocol communication viewer window will be opened. This window shows in real time all the communication frames between IntesisBox and the ASCII device as well as debugging messages referent to external protocol (ASCII) sent by IntesisBox.

1. Enter the physical address desired for IntesisBox inside the KNX network. 2. Check this if you want IntesisBox to force the readings in KNX of those points configured with "U" or "U2" flag after a KNX bus reset detection. - Page 19 6. Enter the IP NetMask for the gateway (supplied by the network administrator). 7. Enter the Default gateway address (Router address) in case the gateway (IntesisBox) is in a different sub network than the other ASCII TCP/IP devices (supplied by the network administrator).

Signals (rows in the grid) can be added or deleted selecting the desired row and clicking Add or Delete buttons. - Page 21 KNX system if this flag is activated. Possible values: “T” or blank. “T” means flag activated. 14. U. Indicates if this signal will be updated whenever IntesisBox starts up or after an EIB bus reset. “U” means flag activated for the main EIB group address (a read of the main EIB group address will be performed in the KNX system for the update).

(see format above in this document) should be configured in the ASCII enabled device. It is necessary to have an EIB bus connection near IntesisBox with all KNX devices willing to integrate connected to this EIB network and correctly configured and commissioned. - Page 31 8. Open the ASCII Communication Viewer window (menu View -> Bus -> ASCII), force some point's polling from the ASCII device connected to IntesisBox, and check that there is communication activity, some TX frames and some other RX frames. This means that the communication with the ASCII device is ok.
