Contains a collection of Calimero tools for KNX network communication. Each tool provides
a ready-to-use functionality of the Calimero-core library on the terminal.
A tool offers a particular feature of the Calimero library. It aims to help
in getting familiar with the library, and interact with the offered library API.
Tool implementations are terminal-based, i.e., they are
intended to run in a terminal or command line window.
To check out the implementation and control flow of a tool, a good point
to start is the main-method of that tool.
Access to the KNX network is supported using KNXnet/IP tunneling or routing over an
IP network connection, using FT1.2 or TP-UART over a serial port connection.
KNXnet/IP address considerations:
On more than one IP address assigned to the local host, and possibly several local network
interfaces available (also known as multi-homed hosts), the default chosen local host
might not be the one expected by the user. In that situation, the local IP
address has to be supplied manually, using command line options.
The KNXnet/IP protocol expects IPv4 addresses by default.
Network Address Translation (NAT) aware communication can only be used,
if the remote KNXnet/IP server supports it.
Otherwise, connection timeouts will occur. With NAT enabled,
KNXnet/IP also works with IPv6 addresses.
