FAQs
Can this router work without the Gira HomeServer?
Yes, it is a standard-compliant KNX IP Router and will function with any ETS-compatible software or third-party visualization system.
Does the router require a separate power supply?
It can be powered either by an external 24V DC power supply or through an unchoked output of a KNX power supply.
What is the purpose of the microSD card slot?
The slot is used for recording telegram traffic, which is highly useful for system troubleshooting and identifying intermittent communication issues.
Is KNX IP Secure mandatory?
While recommended for security, it can be disabled or configured to support 'non-secure' communication for legacy system compatibility.
How many lines can this device couple?
It can be used as a line coupler to link a line to the backbone, or as an area coupler to link an area to the main line.
Troubleshooting
Device is not reachable on the IP network
Verify the Ethernet cable connection and ensure the router has an IP address assigned by your DHCP server or via static configuration.
Tunneling connections are failing
Check that the number of active connections does not exceed the limit of four, and confirm that your ETS project is configured with the correct individual addresses.
Security errors in ETS
Ensure that the project password for KNX Secure has been correctly entered into the ETS project settings for the specific device.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Gira KNX IP Router involves mounting the device onto a standard 35mm DIN rail within a distribution board. Ensure the device is connected to the KNX bus and a stable IP network via the RJ45 port. You must configure the physical address and specific parameters using the Engineering Tool Software (ETS). Power can be supplied via an external 24V DC power supply or an unchoked output of a KNX power supply. For care, keep the device in a dry, ventilated cabinet away from direct heat sources. Periodically check the microSD card for full capacity if you have enabled long-term logging, and keep the firmware updated to ensure ongoing compatibility with the latest security standards.
