IP Router

The IP Router can be used as line or backbone coupler. It provides a data connection between the upper KNXnet/IP line (main line or backbone) and the lower TP KNX bus line (sub line). The basic functionality of the IP Router is to couple the Ethernet with one or more KNX-TP lines. The IP Router features a galvanic isolation between the Ethernet and the KNX-TP line(s). Due to its flexibility the IP Router can be used as a line coupler e.g. to connect several KNX TP lines via Ethernet. And it can be used as a backbone coupler to connect several TP areas or different TP installation systems via Ethernet. The device supports the KNX Secure protocol (KNXnet/IP Security).

KNX IP Router: This Interface offers the same functions as the IP interface, but the device routes telegrams as a line coupler using the the LAN.
