KNX/EIB IP Interface with Secure and Cloud Fig. 4.1.3 IP Obtain an IP address automatically:In the default setting the IP Interface with Secure expects the assignment of an IP address by a DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) server. This server responds to a request by assigning a free IP address to the device.
KNX/EIB IP Interface with Secure and Cloud 4.2. Use of the integrated tunneling servers The IP Interface with Secure offers 5 additional physical addresses, which can be used for a tunneling connection, shown in fig. 4.2.1. These so-called tunneling servers can be used with the ETS as a programming interface or with another visual display client, with smartphone, with tablet, with bus tool etc.
Page 12
KNX/EIB IP Interface with Secure and Cloud In addition, the tunneling servers can also be encrypted with KNX Secure. First activate Secure Commissioning, and then activate Secure Tunneling, as shown in Figure 4.2.3. After activating Secure Tunneling, the password for each Tunneling connection can be set in ETS, as shown in Figure 4.2.4, and users can change this password as needed.
KNX/EIB IP Interface with Secure and Cloud Fig.4.2.5 Set project password 4.3. KNX Secure The IP Interface with Secure is a KNX device according to the KNX Secure standard. In other words, the device can run in secure mode, and the tunneling connection are encrypted. Therefore, the following information must be taken into account during device commissioning: It is essential to assign a project password as soon as a KNX Secure device is imported into a ...

KNX/EIB IP Interface with Secure and Cloud Fig.4.3.1 Add Device Certificate window Alternatively, the certificates of all Secure devices can be entered in the ETS beforehand. This is done on the “Security” tab on the project overview page, as shown in Figure 4.3.2 below. The certificates can be also added to the selected device in the project, as shown in Figure 4.3.3.
Page 15
KNX/EIB IP Interface with Secure and Cloud Without the FDSK, it will no longer be possible to operate the device in KNX Secure mode after a reset. The FDSK is required only for initial commissioning. After entering the initial FDSK, the ETS will assign a new key, as shown in Figure 4.3.4 below.
Page 16
KNX/EIB IP Interface with Secure and Cloud Whether the device is replaced in the same project, or the device is replaced in a different project, the processing is similar: Reset the device to the factory settings, then reassign the FDSK. After the device is downloaded successfully, the label Add Device Certificate turns gray, indicating that the key for this device has been assigned successfully, as shown in Figure 4.3.6 below.
