Follow these steps in order. Keep the alarm panel configuration and the ETS project available during commissioning.

Prepare the installation

Interlogix ultraSync alarm system (NetworXConnect, xGen or ZeroWire), 12-30 VDC auxiliary supply, KNX bus and Ethernet connection. Have the matching ETS application and a valid alarm user code ready.

Connect and power the gateway

Connect KNX at the top and the 12-30 VDC auxiliary supply and Ethernet at the bottom. Check that the Network LED is on. For an NXG-8 with NXG-7002, follow the isolated LAN arrangement in Alarm system setup.

Configure the alarm and network

Create the alarm user “knx”; enable UltraSync and Status Broadcast. Open the gateway at 192.168.1.51, assign a suitable fixed IP and set Device IP to the alarm IP. Use the “knx” PIN in ETS. See Alarm system setup.

Configure the KNX device in ETS

Assign an unused physical address. Enter the valid user code and its length; enable only supported functions. Select zone count and offset, area count, area mapping and scene numbers. See ETS commissioning and ETS parameter reference.

Assign a group address to each required object. Press the programming button to enter KNX programming mode and perform a full download for first commissioning. See ETS commissioning.

Validate status and control

In ETS Group Monitor, read Module status (0 for normal operation) and Firmware. Compare enabled zone and area statuses with the panel; check configured control commands and scenes. See Group addresses and validation.

Commissioning is complete when

The alarm-system connection operates, the firmware can be read on KNX and the configured status, control and scene objects respond as expected.

Frequently Asked Questions

What must be configured before the ETS download?

Create the alarm user “knx”, use its PIN in ETS, and enable UltraSync and Status Broadcast. Set the gateway Device IP to the alarm IP address.

When is commissioning complete?

Confirm alarm communication, read the firmware through KNX, and verify the enabled zone statuses, mapped area commands and statuses, and configured scenes against the alarm panel.
