Network Connections; Tcp/Ip Information You'll Need; Networking Via Dhcp - AJA Ki Pro Ultra Installation And Operation Manual

Network Connections

Ki Pro Ultra can be networked to a computer using a single CAT-5 Ethernet cable
(straight or cross-over) or using an Ethernet 10/100/1000 local area network (LAN)
connection to the Ethernet RJ-45 connector.
If connecting via a LAN, connect the Ki Pro Ultra's Ethernet connector to a LAN
hub or switch. A LAN is a shared network that includes other Ethernet devices all
attached via a hub or digital switch. LANs may be divided into zones, and devices
on a LAN may have fixed or dynamically assigned (DHCP) IP addresses. Before
connecting Ki Pro Ultra to the LAN, talk to your network administrator to find out
how they want it connected (static IP or DHCP).

TCP/IP Information You'll Need

If your LAN has a DHCP server that assigns IP addresses dynamically, you don't
have to configure anything (Ki Pro Ultra defaults to DHCP). If your IT administrator
prefers an assigned IP address that is fixed (called a "static IP"), get the IP address
and you will enter it in the "IP Config parameter." If your LAN requires static IP
addresses, also ask your IT administrator for the Subnet Mask and default gateway
IP address (your LAN's internet router). DHCP or via a static IP addressing are
discussed in the following two topics.

Networking via DHCP

The default configuration (from the factory) automatically looks for a DHCP server
to issue an IP address. As long as your network has a DHCP server (usually part of
your router), you need to do nothing other than plug the Ki Pro Ultra into the net.
If you need to manually select DHCP, use the User Control Knob to navigate to the
parameter 50.1 IP Config, press the knob to activate the menu list, scroll to DHCP
and press the knob again to select it.
Here are the steps to communicate with Ki Pro Ultra after choosing the DHCP
selection:
1. Use the User Control Knob to navigate to parameter 50.2. Make note of the
DHCP supplied IP address shown to enter in your browser (Step 2).
2. With your laptop or desktop computer DHCP enabled and connected to the
same LAN, type the IP address from step 1 into the browser address bar. You
should now see Ki Pro Ultra's browser status screen.
If Ki Pro Ultra cannot get an address from the DHCP server, it will automatically
drop back to a preset factory IP address of 192.168.0.2. If this happens, you can
follow the steps below:
1. Set the computer's Ethernet IP address to 192.168.0.n (where n is not 2).
2. Set the computer's Subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 (most computers default
to the proper netmask when the address is set).
3. Run a browser on the computer and type 192.168.0.2 (the factory fallback IP
address). You should now see Ki Pro Ultra's browser status screen.
