Connecting to your computer or network
You can connect the KRONOS directly to an ethernet-
enabled computer, or to a network. The steps are the same
either way:
1. Make sure that zero-configuration networking
support, such as Bonjour, is installed on your
computer (see above).
2. Confirm that the KRONOS Address method is set to
DHCP.
Address method is shown near the top of the TCP/IP box on
the Network page. If necessary, use the Configure TCP/IP
dialog to set this to DHCP; see "Address method" on
page 779.
3. Connect a compatible USB-ethernet adapter to the
KRONOS.
See "Important: compatible USB ethernet adapter required,"
above.
4. Connect an ethernet cable between the USB-ethernet
adapter and your computer or network ethernet
router.
That's it! You can now use your FTP client application to
connect to the KRONOS.
0–5a: TCP/IP
This includes read-only displays of the current TCP/IP
network settings, including the host name, address method,
IP address, subnet mask, and the router's address.
For more information about what these settings mean, see
"0–5c: Configure TCP/IP dialog," below. To edit these
settings, press the Configure button.
Status
[Connected, Connecting...,
Disconnecting..., Cable unplugged,
DHCP timed out, IP address conflict,
This shows the current state of the KRONOS network
connection. Normal states are shown in black text, and errors
are shown in red. If Status shows an error, see the tips under
"Network Troubleshooting" on page 780.
Connected shows that the network connection is active and
working properly.
Connecting... shows that the KRONOS is in the process of
connecting to the network.
Disconnecting... shows that the KRONOS is in the process
of disconnecting from the network, such as might happen if
you change the Address Method from DHCP to Off.
Cable unplugged appears if the KRONOS initially
connected with the network, but the cable was then
physically disconnected.
DHCP timed out appears if the Address Method is set to
DHCP, but the KRONOS has not received a response from
the router (or other DHCP server).This could be caused by
the cable not being connected, or by the DHCP server not
working properly.
IP address conflict appears if the Address Method is set to
Manual and another machine is detected on the same
address.
Config failed, Off]
Global P0: Basic Setup 0–5: Network
Config failed: This indicates either that the KRONOS was
turned on without an ethernet cable connected, or that an
internal error has occurred.
Off: This will appear if the Address Method is set to None
(disable ethernet).
Configure button
Pressing this button brings up the Configure TCP/IP dialog,
as described below.
0–5b: FTP
When connecting to the KRONOS using FTP, you'll need to
enter a user name and password. You can configure these
with the parameters below.
User name
The user name must be at least one character, and can be up
to 32 characters, including letters, numbers, and dashes. The
default user name is "kronos." To edit the name, press the
text-entry button and enter the new name using the popup
keyboard.
Password
The password may be left blank, if you are not concerned
about security, and can be up to 32 characters, including
letters, numbers, and dashes. The default password is
"kronos." To edit the name, press the text-entry button and
enter the new name using the popup keyboard
0–5c: Configure TCP/IP dialog
This dialog appears when the Configure button is pressed.
Host name
This is a plain-text name to identify the KRONOS on the
network. The name must include at least one character, and
can be up to 63 characters, including letters, numbers, and
dashes. The default is simply "kronos." To edit the name,
press the text-entry button and enter the new name using the
popup keyboard.
Note: while the name can include dashes in the middle of the
text, the first and last characters must be either letters or
numbers.
Address method
DHCP: This is the default setting, recommended for general
use. It allows your router to configure the KRONOS network
settings automatically.
For those who are curious, DHCP stands for "Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol."
Manual: This allows you to manually specify the IP
Address, Subnet Mast, and Router. Use Manual only if
you have specific requirements; otherwise, use DHCP
instead.
None (disable ethernet): This allows you to disable
ethernet on the KRONOS, even if an ethernet cable is
physically connected.
OK button
Pressing the OK button will apply any changes to the
TCP/IP settings, and then close the dialog.
