FAQ: Q: KNXSUPERIO (PLUS) is a so called standalone device. What does this mean? A: The expression standalone device means that KNXSUPERIO (PLUS) contains everything in order to be able to create and use a KNX visualization. All necessary software and hardware interfaces make part of the product, no additional components are required. On the other side this also means that KNXSUPERIO (PLUS) is a „finalized“ system: the visualization can only be shown on the device itself, furthermore it is not possible to install additional software.
Q: If so, why do I need to configure the network? A: KNXSUPERIO (PLUS) can be configured only remotely. Locally on the device only a few parameters can be changed. The configuration of the device by using the OPTIMA wizard therefore has to be done by accessing the interface remotely, which means that you need to set the correct networking parameters.. Furthermore, some of the plug-ins of the OPTIMA interface require an internet connection in order to work correctly. If you want to use those plug-ins or if you want to activate the remote access to the administration menu, you have to align the network settings with the one of your network. KNXSUPERIO (PLUS) is delivered with the default IP address 192.168.0.110. If you do not want to connect KNXSUPERIO to your network, you can also ignore the network settings and use a cross-over cable in order to connect to KNXSUPERIO (PLUS). In this case all online services will be disabled.
Q: I have started KNXSUPERIO (PLUS) for the first time, what to do now? A: At the first startup you will only see the empty Home screen of the OPTIMA interface on the device. In order to configure your project, you have to connect remotely to KNXSUPERIO (PLUS). Please start Google Chrome on your PC and access KNXSUPERIO (PLUS) by typing in the following URL:
https://<IP_address_KNXSUPERIO> (default: https://192.168.0.110) If you get a certificate warning, please confirm the certificate in order to connect to the interface! In order to login, please use the following user-password combination: Username Administrator

Afterwards you can access the OPTIMA wizard through the administration menu. Just follow the instructions of the wizard, which will accompany you through the whole creation of your visualization.
Q: What is „ETStoKNXCONTROL“ and where do I find it? A: The wizard mentions the application „ETStoKNXCONTROL“. This is required in order to convert your ETS database into a compatible format before starting the import. Therefore it has to be installed on the PC that contains your ETS database. You can find „ETStoKNXCONTROL“ on the product CD which is included in the delivery of KNXSUPERIO (PLUS).
Q: I’m stuck at a certain point, what should I do? A: KNXSUPERIO (PLUS) offers a clear Information and help system: every page contains information about the available functions / options, please read them carefully.
