Simple modification using remote access
In virtually any project, during completion of a building, or prior to the building being used, you will be faced with the need for modifications, e.g. lighting times are too long or too short. Until now this meant: Making an appointment with the customer, driving to the site, changing the parameterization, driving back to the office. Now you can carry out these modifications from the comfort of your office: With LAN/Internet, you can now carry out parameterization tasks simply, practically and - remotely. These days, virtually all buildings have LAN and Internet connections - thus, giving you global access. Because buildings are not always manned, it is essential to ensure data security using VPN, DSL or dial-up routers.
This saves time and money and demonstrates to your customers the degree of flexibility they can enjoy using a GAMMA instabus system.
The solution
The benefits
- Parameters can be changed quickly and easily over remote access
- Remote access saves travel times and costs
- Date security is ensured
Proceed as follows
- Connect the N 148/22 IP interface to the KNX
- Connect the N 148/22 IP interface to the LAN
- Configure the VPN/DSL or dial-up router
You require the following
- N 148/22 IP interface (5WG1 148-1AB22)
- 24 V power supply for N 148/22 IP interface
(e.g. 4AC2 402 Power over Ethernet, unchoked bus voltage) - ETS3 (current versionseehttp://www.knx.org)
- VPN/DSL or ISDN/analog dial-up router
Note:
LAN stands for Local Area Network. In LANs, data transport is organized over the IP (Internet Protocol) – the standard network protocol on the Internet.
VPN (Virtual Private Network) lets you set up a secure subnetwork over an open, unsecured network (Internet, wireless network) by protecting all communication against access or being tapped into by unauthorized third parties. This is achieved by means of "tunneling" the data traffic over a VPN server, which means that any connections must be authenticated and that all data is also encoded.
