ETS configuration and start-up

Configuration and start-up require the start-up software certified by the KNX Association, version ETS5.4 or higher. No product database is available for older versions of the ETS.
For ETS start-up of the Gira G1 with firmware version 2.0, the ETS application 2.0 must be used. Older ETS applications are incompatible with firmware version 2.0 and cannot be converted.

Important notes

  • After the firmware update the Gira G1 is protected by a device password. The password can be found on a label on the Gira G1. If no password is noted here, the password is "device". Please change the device password during configuration.
  • Devices of index I07 and up that come from the factory with firmware version 2.0 or higher cannot be downgraded to firmware versions 1.3.59. If a system absolutely requires the use of devices with firmware version 1.3.59 (e.g. replacement of defective devices), then firmware version 1.4 can be used (functionally equivalent to 1.3.59).
  • Devices of index I06 and up that come from the factory with firmware version 2.0 or higher cannot be downgraded to firmware versions 1.3.59. If a system absolutely requires the use of devices with firmware version 1.3.59 (e.g. replacement of defective devices), then firmware version 1.4 can be used (functionally equivalent to 1.3.59).
