Network Configuration

This section provides instructions to configure the network settings with a
fixed IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. To use the IP Installer to
configure the IP address, see IP Installer, page 293.
Note: 1. Both devices are preconfigured with factory-default network settings.
If you install only one set of KE Series units, you do not need to
change these default network settings. See Default IP Addresses,
page 99, for further details.
2. In a network setup with multiple units, each transmitter and receiver
must be configured with a unique IP address. See Network
Configuration, page 98, for further details.
3. We recommended using 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet switches (wire
speeds, non-blocking with 1Gbps/1.5Mpps performance per port)
between devices installed on different LAN segments. 10/100Mbps
switches might cause poor performance.
4. In multipoint configurations, the IGMP and flow control function of
your network switches/hubs must be enabled to avoid the
deterioration of data throughput. To ensure functionality use a layer 3
switch that supports IGMP queries.
5. If your network uses cascaded switches, please check to ensure the
data throughput is sufficient.
6. To get the best performance, we suggest creating a private network
for KE device, as they are bandwidth-intensive devices.
To configure the network settings, do the following:
1. Setup the hardware and connect the Transmitter and Receiver to the local
area network (see KE6900 LAN Installation, page 84, or KE8950 LAN
Installation, page 91).
2. From the Receiver, tap the Scroll Lock key twice to invoke the OSD.
3. Select the Receiver or Transmitter from the sidebar menu.
4. Enter the password and click Configure.
The default password is: password.
5. From the Network tab select Set IP address manually and enter the
following:
