The IP address of the tunnelling addresses in use is displayed. [1.1]_b Changes in the document: • Minor corrections Changes in the Zennio KNX-IP Router PLess application program: [1.1]_a • Character restriction for “Host Name” parameter. • Internal code optimisation.
The main differences between the two devices are: Zennio KNX-IP Interface PLess: simple KNX to IP interface solution. Zennio KNX-IP Router PLess: can be used as line or area coupler to provide data connection between the upper KNXnet/IP line and the lower KNX twisted-pair bus line.

After the connection, the device can be conveniently mounted on the DIN rail by the usual procedure The programming button (10) shown in Figure 2 may be pressed to set Zennio KNX-IP Router PLess in programming mode. After a short press, the programming LED (9) will light in red.
Zennio KNX-IP Router / Interface PLess 1.3 USING THE DEVICE AS A PROGRAMMER Zennio KNX-IP Router PLess and Zennio KNX-IP Interface PLess can be used in ETS as a programming interface. In addition to an IP address, they must be assigned a KNX individual address for this purpose.
ETS is not the one configured for the line but the general one. 1.3.2 LIMITATIONS It is important to note that Zennio KNX-IP Router PLess and Zennio KNX-IP Interface PLess, when being used as programmer, do not allow bus monitoring (the ETS bus monitor will not be available).
Note: this functionality does not apply to Zennio KNX-IP Interface PLess. Zennio KNX-IP Router PLess can be used as a line coupler (for coupling both a line to a mainline) or as an area coupler (for coupling a main line to an area line, also referred to as backbone line).

3.2.1 Figure 5 Line Coupling On the other hand, Zennio KNX-IP Router PLess can be incorporated to the ETS project topology as any other device. This step is not compulsory if the default configuration meets the requirements of the integrator. However, should they require modifying any parameters or filter table the device must be assigned a physical address prior to downloading the new parameterisation.
Zennio KNX-IP Router / Interface PLess 2.3 TELEGRAM FILTERING Note: this functionality does not apply to Zennio KNX-IP Interface PLess. Zennio KNX-IP Router PLess provides two complementary filter types: Group address filtering: ETS automatically generates a group address table for the project loaded. This table is transferred to the line coupler during complete ETS downloads over it.
Page 12
Zennio KNX-IP Router / Interface PLess Physical address filtering: when the device receives a telegram where the destination address is a physical/individual address (for example, during downloads), it will compare such address with its own physical address (no particular filter table is required for physical address filtering, but a simple comparison).
Zennio KNX-IP Router / Interface PLess 2.4 LED INDICATORS Zennio KNX-IP Router / Interface PLess incorporates seven LED lights on the top of the device that make it easy to monitor the status of the buses and to detect typical communication problems, as detailed next.

Notes: ➢ These LEDs are non-functional in Zennio KNX-IP Interface PLess. ➢ Please be careful not to confuse yellow and orange. Programming LED: ➢ OFF = normal operation.
Zennio KNX-IP Router / Interface PLess 2.5 MANUAL FUNCTION BUTTON Zennio KNX-IP Router / Interface PLess features an additional pushbutton on the top cover, next to the status LEDs (see (5) in Figure 2), which permits: Activating the Manual Operation Mode (see section 2.5.1), only in Zennio KNX-IP Router PLess.

LAN segment than the PC. On the other hand, the MAC address must be printed on the cover of the device. Note: Zennio KNX-IP Router PLess allows using port 80 instead of 8080 by enabling it in parameters. In such case, it can be omitted from the access URL.
It can be configured in ETS. Serial number: shows the internal serial number of the device. KNX Busload (only in Zennio KNX-IP Router PLess): shows a graph that reflects the KNX bus load in the past 60 minutes; see Figure 10. The red curve represents the local maximum while the green one indicates the local average load on the KNX bus.

Figure 10 Web interface (KNX bus load) 2.6.2.1 ADDICIONAL INDIVIDUAL ADDRESSES (TUNNELING ADDRESSES) Zennio KNX-IP Router / Interface PLess requires a specific individual address when acting as a programming interface (tunneling) other than the address of the device itself. Up to four simultaneous connections are possible, which implies that up to four different individual addresses must be configured.

Finally, the configuration process begins by entering the Parameters tab of the device. The following sections provide a detailed explanation about each of the different parameters of the device. Note: Zennio KNX-IP Router / Interface PLess does not require any communication objects. http://www.zennio.com Technical Support: http://support.zennio.com...
Zennio KNX-IP Router / Interface PLess 3.1 GENERAL When entering the parameter edition of Zennio KNX-IP Router / Interface PLess for the first time, a window similar to Figure 18 will be shown. Figure 18 General tab. As shown in Figure 18, this screen contains the following parameters: Host Name: string of up to 30 characters to easily identify the device in ETS or from a KNXnet/IP system.
3.2 IP CONFIGURATION Figure 19 IP Configuration tab Zennio KNX-IP Router / Interface PLess is provided with the DHCP protocol [Do Not Use / Use] enabled by default, and therefore can gain an IP address automatically as long as a DHCP server is available in the local network. From ETS, it is possible to disable the use of the DHCP and manually set an IP address for the device, as well as the subnet mask, the IP address of the network gateway and that of the DNS server.
LED lighting in red colour. To exit this status, it is necessary to disconnect the Ethernet cable and restore the factory defaults (section 2.5.2). In the particular case of Zennio KNX-IP Router PLess, an option is also provided to select the desired access port to the web interface [80 / 8080].
