IP-reititin Gira REG 216700 KNX/EIB — malli 216700, verkkoyhdyskäytävä

Gira IP router REG 216700 is a network gateway designed for KNX/EIB installations that routes KNX telegrams over IP networks. The device enables tunneling, routing and remote access between KNX bus systems and Ethernet, allowing engineering tools, controllers and visualization systems to communicate across IP-based infrastructures. It is intended for use in building automation projects where integration of KNX devices with networked services and secure remote engineering is required.

Advantages

The IP router offers reliable IP-based routing of KNX telegrams and supports multiple communication channels for simultaneous engineering and device access. It simplifies network integration by bridging bus and Ethernet layers while maintaining KNX protocol functionality. The router includes features for secure communication and remote tunneling, reducing the need for direct physical access to KNX lines during configuration and diagnostics.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the IP router in a suitable network cabinet or distribution area with access to both the KNX bus and the building Ethernet. Configure network parameters such as IP address, gateway and routing settings via the device’s configuration interface according to the project network plan. Use KNX engineering software to establish tunneling or routing sessions and verify communication between engineering tools, controllers and visualization systems. Follow standard KNX installation practices when connecting bus terminals and ensure power and network connections meet local regulations.

Recommendations

Place the router in a secure, ventilated location with stable network connectivity. Use segregated VLANs or firewall rules where appropriate to separate KNX management traffic from general office or guest networks. Regularly update router firmware and maintain backups of configuration files to support reliable remote engineering and system recovery.
