GEWISS GW A9707 KNX/IP Router Installation Guide
1 Introduction
This manual explains the functions of the “KNX/IP Router” device (GWA9707), and how they are set and
configured using the ETS (Engineering Tool Software) configuration software.
2 Application
The KNX/IP Router also makes it possible to forward KNX telegrams between different lines by using the
LAN network (IP) as a backbone. The device also makes it possible to connect a PC to the KNX BUS via the
IP network (for ETS programming, for example).
The Router is powered by the KNX BUS line.
The IP address can be obtained respectively from a DHCP server or be configured manually (ETS).
It has an 8 kbyte filter table and is able to buffer up to 150 telegrams.
2.1 COUPLER function
The KNX/IP Router acts as a line and/or area coupler; in both cases, the backbone is always formed by the
LAN (IP) line.
The physical address assigned to the device determines when the device works as a line coupler and when
it works as an area coupler: if the physical address is defined in the form x.y.0 (where x and y may assume
values between 1 and 15), the router acts as a line coupler; on the other hand, if the physical address is
defined in the form x.0.0 (where x may assume values between 1 and 15), the router acts as an area
coupler.
If the device is used as a line coupler, there must be no other KNX/IP Router above it in the system type
(e.g. figure 2.1). This means that, if the device has the physical address 1.1.0, there cannot be another
router with the address 1.0.0.
