2. Set your laptop or desktop computer Ethernet IP address to 10.m.n.m (where
m is not 65 and n is not 74).
3. Also on the computer, set the Subnet mask to 255.0.0.0 (most PCs default to
the proper netmask when the address is set—so you may not have to do
anything here).
4. Run a browser on the computer and type "10.65.74.65" (the Default factory IP
address). You should now see the FS1's browser status screen.
After setting the IP address and other TCP/IP settings and connecting Ki Pro's
Ethernet connection to a LAN or directly to a computer, ensure that you have a valid
connection by "Pinging" the Ki Pro. Pinging ensures that other devices on the
network, or a computer directly attached to it, can see it. Simply run the Ping utility
from a computer on the same LAN as Ki Pro, or one attached directly to Ki Pro. Here's
how to Ping a Ki Pro from a Mac OSX computer or Windows PC:

Mac Ping Procedure

1. Find the Applications Folder, and then find the Utilities Folder inside of the
Applications Folder.
2. Locate the "Terminal" utility application and double-click it.
3. On the Ki Pro, go to parameter menu 50.2 and read the IP address.
4. At the Terminal prompt, enter the IP address noted in step 3. For example: ping
192.168.0.2
5. If successful, the ping utility will respond that packets were sent, received and
how long it took. For example:
64 bytes from 192.168.0.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.590 ms
6. If unsuccessful, check Ki Pro's network settings and resolve the problem with
your IT administrator.
To control Ki Pro from a web-browser on a network attached computer, you must
enter Ki Pro's IP address as a URL in the browser. For example, if Ki Pro's IP address
were "90.0.6.31" , you would then type into the web browser: http://90.0.6.31
This topic is explained in greater detail in Chapter 4: Browser Remote Control.
Another option for remote control is Ki Pro's built-in 802.11 wireless transceiver
which can communicate with properly configured 802.11 wireless access points such
as an Airport Basestation or 802.11 wireless router (linksys etc.).
You can enable or disable WiFi control of Ki Pro for security. Further, you can select a
type of wireless security to match other devices; popular methods such as WEP, WPA
and WPA2 are supported. To use wireless control you'll follow this basic process:
• Enable wireless control of Ki Pro
• Select a wireless network to connect to (as set on the access point you'll
communicate with).
• Select the type of security, if any, to be used. If there is security, you'll also enter
its password.
• Lastly, you'll select from two choices the type of location and 802.11 radio
environment where Ki Pro will reside—indoor or outdoor.
