GIRA IP Router Topology

[HubertTieleman]

Hi good evening,

I have a questions regarding the applicable topology for a IP based backbone and two areas.
Reason behind this is that I want to add a workshop/shed to my existing house KNX system. This shed a a separate power connection so I do not want to use Twisted Pair.

In the workshop/shed I only require a single KNX line.

As I see it there are two possible topologies (see schematics attached):

Topology 1: IP Router 2.0.0 (Area coupler), TP devices on main line within shed

Topology 2: IP Router 2.1.0 (Line coupler). TP devices on Line 1

- is it correct for me to assume both topologies are possible?
- are there any pros / cons to either of the two?

Thanks alot!

Regards
Hubert

I would make.

1.0.0 IP Router for existing Installation.
2.0.0 IP-Router new Installation, TP devices direct on main line 2.0.x

Jumping over the main line is possible in media IP, but Iit looks like something missing in the topology tree.

Oke great thanks! I will keep 2.0.0 IP-router for the new installation
