I am trying to connect linknx to eib with USB device (JUNG). Someone may say that url should I put in Services> knxconnection in the xml configuration file.
Once EIBD is running, linknx can connect to it using 2 ways:
1) using TCP sockets, url in config file looks like this: url="ip:127.0.0.1"
2) using unix sockets, url in config file looks like this: url="local:/path/to/the/socket"
The method you need to use depends on the way you start EIBD. if you start it with -i option, you need to use TCP sockets, if you start it with -u, you have to use unix sockets.

Good evening everyone,
I am trying to connect linknx to eib with USB device (JUNG). Someone may say that url should I put in Services> knxconnection in the xml configuration file.
<services>
<knxconnection url="local:/proc/bus/usb/005/001" />
...
</services>
Any Idea?
Thanks
Jesús
Hi,
Linknx cannot connect directly to the EIB bus. For this you need EIBD ( http://www.auto.tuwien.ac.at/~mkoegler/index.php/eibd ). Here are the details:

Once EIBD is running, linknx can connect to it using 2 ways:
1) using TCP sockets, url in config file looks like this: url="ip:127.0.0.1"
2) using unix sockets, url in config file looks like this: url="local:/path/to/the/socket"
The method you need to use depends on the way you start EIBD. if you start it with -i option, you need to use TCP sockets, if you start it with -u, you have to use unix sockets.

Thanks Jean,
The problem was that the eibd daemon started with the -i and -u option. I tried only with the -i option and functioning properly.
Thank you.
