Connection to the Internet
The device is not intended for use on the public Internet. For this reason router ports in the direction of the
Internet must not be opened; this action will ensure KNX communication is not visible on the Internet.
Systems can be accessed via the Internet in the following ways:
•
Access to KNX installations via VPN connections. However, this requires a router with VPN server
functionality.
•
Use of manufacturer-specific solutions or visualizations, e.g. access via https.

KNXnet/IP Security
The device should always be operated in KNX Secure mode. This ensures security for runtime
communication on the IP backbone, for the tunneling servers and for commissioning the device itself.
