SAFETY INFORMATION

Electronic devices may be mounted and assembled by qualified electricians only. The applicable accident prevention regulations shall be observed.

  • Network technology skills are required for the initial operation.

  • The choked bus voltage must not be used as operating voltage 12–32 V DC.

  • The Registration Key for the BAB APPMARKET is located on a sticker on the back side of the device and in this quick reference (see below). Please keep this key carefully. It is necessary for registration in the APP MARKET.

  • The device may only be operated with the specified operating voltage.
    Applying a higher operating voltage may result in damage to the device.

  • If the device is connected to the Internet, please observe the common safety measures in order to protect it from unauthorized access (firewall rules, passwords etc.).

Failure to observe these instructions can result in damage to the device, fire or other dangers. The quick reference guide is part of the product and must remain with the end user.

    SMA female connector for EnOcean antenna (type 13501)

  • Connecting terminal for voltage supply

  • RJ-45 connector for Ethernet LAN

  • USB port—not in use

  • Signal LEDs


INFORMATION FOR QUALIFIED ELECTRICIANS

Mounting of the device

  • Snap the device onto the mounting rail according to DIN EN 60715.

  • The device heats up in operation. Please observe the maximum ambient temperature and provide sufficient heat dissipation.

Connection of the device (figure 1)

  • For KNX: Connect bus line with the bus connecting terminal (1).

  • For EnOcean: Connect antenna for SMA female connector for EnOcean antenna (1).

  • Connect voltage supply with the screw-type terminal (2) according to label (observe power consumption and polarity).

  • Plug network line (LAN) in the RJ45 female connector (3).

Final preparations

  • Switch on the power supply. Check the status LEDs.

  • For KNX: Switch on bus voltage. The BCU is not programmed via an ETS application, but via the web interface.

  • For EnOcean: Mount antenna and ensure sufficient reception.

ESTABLISHING CONNECTION

Adjusting the network settings of your computer (Windows):

  • Click "Start Button" --> "Control Panel" --> "Network".

  • Select "Network Connection", then "LAN Connection".

  • Click on "Properties".

  • Select "Internet protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" and click "Properties" again.

  • Note the current IP address settings (make a note or a screenshot). In our example, we refer to the 192.168.178.xx.

  • Now change the IP address settings (IP address and subnet mask) to the IP address range of the APPMODULE.
    Example of a valid configuration for the factory settings of the APPMODULE:
    Free IP-Address for PC: 192.168.1.100
    Sub netmask: 255.255.255.0

  • Confirm your input with "OK".

Now the IP address settings of the APPMODULE can be changed to the IP address range in which the APPMODULE is to be operated.


RETRIEVE THE WEB INTERFACE

The APPMODULE is configured via its web interface, so it can be configured using a web browser.
In order to access the web interface, please proceed as described below:

  • Open a browser and enter the IP address of the APPMODULE (192.168.1.224) into the address line.

  • You will reach the APPMODULE start page. The “Log In” unlocks the “Configuration” functions whereas “Information” shows general system information.

For factory settings, the login data is as follows:
User name: admin
Password: admin

Please note that if the password is lost, the device cannot be reset for safety reasons.

  • You can then also access the "Configuration" menu item.

  • To return to the main menu, just click on the header graphic.

Adjusting the network configuration of the APP MODULE

  • Click on “Configuration“.

  • Open the “Network” menu.

The following settings are available:

DHCP

Automatically obtains the network settings. A DHCP server must be available in the local network.

IP-Address/ Subnet mask / Gateway

Static IP address configuration consists of the IP address, subnet mask and gateway.

Example Configuration:
IP-Address: 192.168.178.224
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.178.1

Without a correct gateway entry, the device will not be able to communicate with the Internet.

DNS Server

DNS is the abbreviation for Domain Name System. The DNS server converts Internet addresses IP addresses.

Without a valid DNS entry, Internet based services will not work.

NTP Server

NTP is a free service for synchronising the system time of Internet-compatible devices. NTP Server List: e.g. http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/europe

Click on „Save Configuration“ to apply the settings to the device.

If necessary, adjust the previous IP address of the computer again.
