Operating the Gira HomeServer
3.1
Programming a Gira HomeServer
With the HS Expert software, the Gira HomeServer is individually programmed to the user's
requirements. In order to be able to use the program quickly and to its full extent, Gira offers
(online) training (https://akademie.gira.de/).
There are also sample projects that can be found on your PC when the HS Expert is installed.
Further sample projects are available for download on the http://download.gira.de website.

Firmware update
The firmware should be updated before programming the Gira HomeServer for the first time:
1. Start the "HS Expert" software.
2. Open the menu item: "HomeServer/Upload firmware".
3. The firmware can be transferred to the Gira HomeServer via LAN or via a USB stick.
4. For transfer via LAN: Enter the IP address of your device.
With version 4.11 and higher, you can determine the IP address using the "Find device"
function (button next to the IP address).
5. Transfer the firmware.
For initial start-up, the login data is
User: admin
Password: admin
The Gira HomeServer restarts and reports with 3 double signal tones after operational read-
iness.
To find out which version of the firmware is on the device, you can call up the debug page
(see "URLs and ports" below): https://HSIP/hsinfo or (for version 4.11 and higher) https://
HSIP/.
If access via LAN is not possible, you can connect a keyboard and monitor to the device and
read the IP address from the screen.
