Description
General Overview and Installation
This module comes as a ZIP compressed file with the name N5200_<modname>_<version>.zip, where <modname> is the module name and <version> is the version number of the module. While unpacking the ZIP file, a new directory N5200_<modname>_<version> containing the module and its source code is created.
The module file is called <modname>.mod and the source code is located in the directory <modname>. The source code is included for interested people and is not needed for module installation. The file Makefile can be used to rebuild the module on Linux systems.
The module is installed using the "System"->"Module Mgmt" menu in the Thecus Web Server Administration. Specify the file <modname>.mod as the module file and press "Install".
The whole installation process is logged and sent as an E-Mail if you're configured in the E-Mail notification configuration. After successful installation enable the module in order to run the module.
After uninstallation of the module, a log of the uninstall process will be send to the user(s) configured in the E-mail notification configuration. Prior uninstallation of the module, the actual configuration data is backed up to the place "/data/raid/module/backup/<modname>". When the module is installed again, the module configuration is restored from that place if available.
Module version 1.00.01
This module installs the eibd Daemon including some tools to control a KNX homeautomation system via an USB or IP interface.

- Backup/Restore: backup/restore the SSH configuration to persistent storage (/raid/data/module/backup/EIBD).
- Download/Upload: download/upload the EIBD configuration files as a compressed tar file.
- Configure the KNX Interface: you can select the USB interface oder the IP interface. When using IP you have to specify the IP Adress of your KNX IP interface. If you check the checkbox "Restart" the EIBD daemon is restarted with the new configuartion when you press the SET button.
