    NOTE: When Devices are added by this method, only the Individual Device Address property can be reliably derived from the ETS Project file. You will need to configure the Knx Installation property of each Device. It is not necessary to configure the Ip Address property because this will be discovered from the Device itself when the KNX network driver first tries to connect to the Device, by using its Individual Device Address.
  6. Click OK in the Add dialogue.
