 title: Connect to KNX Interface
 ---
+- The connection to a Knx Interface can be configured via "/configuration/apisettings" in the General Options tab
+
+- Here the IP Address and Port of a IP Tunnel can be entered
+
+- Configuration changes must be saved and the API restarted
+
+- In the standard output of the API a log message will inform if the connection was sucessful - if not the API will continously attempt to connect
+
+- Alternatively the "datapoint/values" endpoint will respond with status code 504 Gateway Timeout if no connection is currently available
+
+Note: If the box "Activate Simulator" is checked in the Simulator Options tab the API will not connect to a Knx Interface
