Note: The user name is 'device'. The password is the same as the GPA password. Upon initial delivery, a default password is set. For devices with an index status of I14 or higher, the default password can be found on a sticker on the side of the Gira KNX IP router and on the enclosed Secure Card (GPA initial device password). For devices with an older index status (<I14) the password is 'device'.
- Call up data logger via device website
The data stored on the SD card (data logger) can be loaded via the device website under the 'Web access' function. The data can also be accessed remotely in conjunction with the Gira S1.
ETS configuration and start-up
Configuration and start-up of the device require the start-up software certified by the KNX Association, version ETS 5.6.6 or higher. No separate product databases are available for older ETS versions (if necessary, please use one of the above-mentioned older versions of the ETS product database)
Improvements and bug fixes with ETS catalogue entry v4.0

For devices with an older index status (<I14) the password is 'device'.

Important information on compatibility with KNX TP line couplers
- Gira area/line couplers (item nos.: 1096 00 and 0611 00) The KNX area/line couplers specified are variants that do not yet support the requirements for KNX Secure. If these couplers are used, it will not be possible to securely start up KNX Secure products via a TP line segment nor to enable group communication at runtime.
- Gira area/line couplers (item no.: 1023 00 with index status <I02) The KNX area/line couplers specified are variants that do not yet support the requirements for KNX Secure. If these couplers are used, it will not be possible to securely start up KNX Secure products via a TP line segment nor to enable group communication at runtime.
