Commissioning > Configuration EisBaer with several network cards, change metrics

If several network cards are present on a PC and a KNXNet / IP routing connection is to be used, the network cables must be connected correctly.

The EisBaer server service must be started with the IP address of the network with the EisBaer clients (IP address in the EisBaer server configuration console).

The KNX router is operated in the second network (KNX network).

You must manually configure the metric setting of the network adapters. Automatically off and the desired network card to assign the lower number.
