Ki Pro Quad v5.2r3
An optimized web server inside Ki Pro Quad allows you to remotely monitor and adjust
parameter settings via a a browser client running on a network wired computer. The
network can be a closed local area network, a straight computer-to-Ki Pro Quad cable, or
even exposed through a firewall to a broadband WAN (not generally recommended since
anyone on the internet can access the Ki Pro Quad).
The LAN connection on Ki Pro Quad uses a standard RJ45 connector, but internally it's
intelligent and communicates via standard "straight-through" CAT 5 ethernet cables or
null-modem (cross-over) cables without any configuration or strapping required.
NOTE:
Safari is the preferred web browser for Ki Pro Quad control on the Mac, and additionally
Chrome and Firefox on Windows. Other web browsers may work, but AJA cannot guarantee
consistent operation for all web browsers or web browser versions.
Note that anytime you need to return to the factory Ki Pro Quad configuration, you can
easily do so. To perform a global reset of Ki Pro Quad to factory settings, go to Ki Pro
Quad front panel CONFIG parameter 99.0 for a reset to factory values. You can also recall
factory settings by selecting the Presets browser menu, scrolling to the bottom of the list
of presets, and clicking Recall Factory Preset.
To control Ki Pro Quad remotely, connect a computer to the Ki Pro Quad unit's LAN
connector, an RJ45 socket, via a CAT5 ethernet cable.
To access the Ki Pro Quad, simply enter its URL in the web browser. The URL will be the IP
address defined in Ki Pro Quad's Network parameter menus (50.2—please note also that
50.1 through 50.4 must all be configured correctly to access Ki Pro Quad on your
network). If Ki Pro Quad is using DHCP (the default), the IP address can be found by going
to parameter 50.2 and reading it there. When Ki Pro Quad is shipped from the AJA
factory, it defaults to DHCP operation.
