Introduction
1 Product description
1.1 Introduction
Voxnet is an Ethernet-based Mulituser / Multiroom audio system developed by Revox with a new, unique operating
philosophy and an impressive audio quality. This is characterised by a streaming option at CD level quality and with the
smallest latency periods, so that music can be heard in its purest form, with practically no delay, in each room.
Using the Revox KNX Multiuser KNX Gateway, the Voxnet system can be integrated easily into the KNX Building Management
application, irrespective of which manufacturer the customer has selected. Thanks to the high level of awareness of the KNX
system and the depth of project experience that KNX installers and system integrators have, these days it is a very simple
matter to make Revox's audiophile music world accessible to customers.
The Revox Multiuser KNX Gateway serves as the interface between the Revox Multiuser system and KNX. The most
frequently used functions are controlled with a simple 1 bit command and appropriate status response messages are
available for the basic functions. So for example, switching on the television can activate the Voxnet 219 amplifier with the
corresponding input and at the same time, start a light/shutter scene in the KNX world. Various application scenarios for the
combination of building technology and Revox are demonstrated in Chapter 2.

Product description
1.2 Definitions and terminology explanations
1.2.1 Voxnet Multiuser
Voxnet is a user-based operating concept, i.e. the music follows the user in dynamic, definable listening zones. One user's
music is played across several rooms, fully synchronised and in full CD quality.
Once a user registers his user profile in another room, this is automatically linked to the previous one and the same content
is then played in both rooms. This automatic group creation by the user should not be confused with the Zone group,
through which rooms are grouped into zones using the Configurator. See Chapter 1.2.4 Voxnet zone.
1.2.2 Voxnet Server
The Voxnet Server is the central unit in the Voxnet Multiuser/ Multiroom audio system. It consists of a Synology NAS (see
separate document Hardware reference for Voxnet) with the Voxnet Server software. Depending on the expansion level
(number of users/streams), different Synology devices can be used.
1.2.3 Voxnet 219 Amplifier / Room
The Voxnet 219 is a stereo amplifier (2 x 50 watt), that provides the sound for a room. A (room) name and a (room) alias can
be assigned to each Voxnet 219 in the Voxnet Configurator.
Optionally, each Voxnet 219 can be equipped with an I/O module. This makes 3 audio inputs (analogue, optical, coaxial) and
one audio output (PreOut) available. These "local" inputs can also be streamed in other rooms.
1.2.4 Voxnet Zone
Rooms and amplifiers can be grouped together into zones in the Voxnet system. Zones can also overlap, i.e. one room can
belong to more than one zones. Zone creation allows, for example, a complete zone to be set to a specific volume level with
just one command. Up to 10 different zones are available for room grouping.
1.2.5 Voxnet Configurator
Revox offers a web-based GUI for the configuration of the Voxnet system, the Voxnet Configurator, which can be called up
through all commonly used browsers such as Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, etc. The Configurator communicates with
the Voxnet server that is located on the Synology NAS. All configuration data from the entire Voxnet system is stored there.
This includes all Voxnet services, the rights management and the licence server. The Synology NAS can be ordered from
Revox in a pre-configured state, including the Voxnet server software.
Note: The KNX configuration is only visible in the Voxnet Configurator in Advanced Mode.
1.2.6 Voxnet Text
Voxnet Text is any easy to read and easy to learn interface that provides a simple and effective way to control the basic
Voxnet functions. Individual commands or command strings are also entered and defined in Voxnet Text in the Voxnet
Configurator.
1.2.7 Voxnet Action Server
The Voxnet Action Server runs on port 11244 of the Voxnet Server. Third-party devices and/or external controllers can
control the Voxnet system using Voxnet Text (IP telegrams) and at the same time debug it, through this Action Server. A
connection is established to the Action Server over TCP/IP and Telnet using a terminal program. Recommended terminal
programs are PuTTY and TeraTerm.
In order to connect to the server using TCP/IP, the corresponding server IP address is entered into the terminal program and
the Action Server port. The port number is defined as port 11244.

Voxnet Configurator
3 Voxnet Configurator
Revox offers a web-based GUI for the configuration of the Voxnet system, the Voxnet Configurator, which can be called up
through all commonly used browsers such as Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, etc. The Configurator communicates with
the Voxnet server that is located on the Synology NAS. All configuration data from the entire Voxnet system is stored there.
This includes all Voxnet services, the rights management and the licence server. Voxnet Servers are sold exclusively through
the Revox Company.
The Voxnet Configurator is described in detail in a separate manual. This part of the Configurator description only contains
those areas that are relevant for the KNX Gateway.
3.1 KNX area overview
The KNX configuration is only visible in the Voxnet Configurator in Advanced Mode. For this purpose, activate the Advanced
button in the Task bar. The two possible KNX areas are shown with the KNX identifier K in the KNX area, even if no KNX
Gateway is actually present / connected. This means that a Voxnet system can already be set up for the KNX Gateway, ahead
of time. It is also possible to use Gateway setups from other Voxnet projects through the Import / Export function. The
Voxnet Identifier MAC address originates from the Voxnet Server that makes the KNX service available. If there are several
Voxnet Servers in the system, a multiple of the 2 KNX services is always visible.
Voxnet Identifier K 00 11 32 4C E4 C3 0

3.3 Room list (Custom Actions)
Room List: All the rooms (Voxnet 219 Amplifiers) that should be controlled over KNX are defined by the installer in
the Room List. In terms of the room numbers, this Room List (Configurator) must be identical to the room
list in the ETS because this room numbering is used for the selection and execution of Customer Actions.
Note: It is possible to control more rooms than those that can be controlled by one or two gateways in a
Voxnet system. This means that it is possible to install 24 Voxnet 219 Amplifiers but only to control 10
rooms with a KNX Gateway.
Custom Action: 4 Custom Actions are available in each room. The Custom Actions can be used for functions for which
there is no K object, e.g. for Voxnet Proxy commands.
In the example shown below (green box), the communication object Custom Action 1 triggers the Proxy
command $p.loewetv:power_on. Voxnet Text is the programming language used to create the Customer
Actions. This is described briefly in Chapter 4 and in detail in a separate Operating manual.
Note: A maximum of 10 rooms can be defined per Gateway.

5.1 Communication objects
In order to make the linking of communication objects as simple as possible, there is a preconfigured library for the Revox
KNX Gateway that can be loaded directly into the ETS.
Then the C objects are given a fixed assignment and only have to be linked with the corresponding sensors or actuators.
5.1.1 Room-independent C objects
These C objects contain a global System OFF command that operates across rooms, the evaluation of the KNX scenes 1 - 64
and 8 KNX actions.

System OFF
This Voxnet command switches all rooms in the Voxnet System off including those that are not controlled/ addressed over
the Revox KNX Gateway. The Revox KNX Gateway can control 10 Voxnet rooms, whereby a maximum of 2 Gateways per
Voxnet Server can be used.
Receiving KNX scenes 1 - 64
The Gateway allows Voxnet to participate in up to 8 KNX scenes. The scene number is freely definable (1 - 64). This allows
Voxnet to be integrated in KNX scenes. What is actually triggered is programmed through Voxnet Text in the Voxnet
Configurator.
Sending KNX scenes 1 - 64
Voxnet can trigger KNX scenes (0 - 64). The corresponding Voxnet Text command is: $knx:scene:x x= 1.....64
KNX Actions
8 programmable "KNX Actions" are available per Gateway. Command: $knx:switch:x:y (x=1....8, y=on/off/toggle). As a
result, a 1 bit command can be triggered at each KNX group address, e.g. light on/off, elevator up/down, etc.

5.2 Finding the Revox Gateway in the network
The IP number of the Revox Gateway can be searched for in the network using the KNX_Gateway_Finder, in order to
determine the IP address. You just have to start the small Gateway Finder program. The search is started by clicking on the
Scan button. After a short time the identified devices are displayed. The example below shows a Gateway that has been
found. Other properties are shown in addition to the IP address:
• Application ID
• Application Version
• Firmware Version
• Gadget Status (Mini-visualisation for Windows Desktop)
5.3 Setting up the Revox Gateway
After the Revox Gateway has been imported into the ETS, the basic Ethernet interface settings can be made. You will find the
Gateway library both on the Revox GmbH Homepage (www.revox.com
(www.weinzierl.de/index.php/de/
5.3.1 General IP settings
Device name: Specific device name that allows a unique differentiation between devices when several Revox
Gateways are in use.
Default name: KNX Revox Gateway
IP address assignment: Access type, either automatically over DHCP or manually. It is recommended that you assign the IP
data manually as the explicit address of the Voxnet Gateway has to be used in the Voxnet
Configurator. If you are using DHCP, there is no guarantee that the same IP address will be
assigned by the router on every occasion.

5.3.2 IP address
IP address byte 1 - 4 Manual input of the 4 blocks that make up the IP address. This menu only appears if manual was
selected in the General settings. When selecting the IP address, make sure that it doesn't fall
within the DHCP range and that no other network device is using the same address.
5.3.3 IP Subnet / Gateway
IP Subnet byte 1 – 4: Manual input of the 4 blocks that make up the IP Subnet Mask. Typical setting: 255. 255. 255. 0
IP Gateway byte 1 – 4: Manual input of the 4 blocks that make up the Internet Gateway in the www.
Note: The Gateway referred to here is not the Revox Gateway.

5.3.4 Rooms
Rooms: Activation of the Voxnet rooms that should be included in the KNX control. This frees up the
corresponding communication objects for the corresponding room and displays them in the
C Object List with the assigned room number. A maximum of 10 rooms are available per Revox KNX
Gateway. There can be gaps in the Room list, i.e. there can also be areas with deactivated rooms
between the active rooms.
- Deactivated: The corresponding room is not part of the KNX control.
- Standard: Only one part of the C Objects is available for the KNX control in the Standard setting, e.g. only
4 of the maximum 8 users. This artificial limitation on the basic commands only serves to improve
clarity and has no technical background.
- Advanced: All C Objects are available (see Table
)
5.4 Object linking in the ETS
After all the basic settings have been made, the final step is to create the links between the KNX sensors and the Revox KNX
Gateway's C Objects. The figure below shows the linking of a key switch with the switch-on command for the analogue input
in the lounge.
Note: The analogue input command is only available with the "Advanced" room setting.
