Requirements

Requirements include installer training, ETS data, software, hardware, and licensing.

Systems integrator training

The procedures in this document assume that you are Niagara certified and experienced at configuring stations.

ETS project requirements

Using ETS (Engineering Tool Software), export the ETS Project. This provides the source of the KNX system data for the Knxnet/IP driver.
