Networking Ki Pro
using a Static IP
Address
Here are the steps to communicate with Ki Pro after choosing the DHCP selection:
1. Use the Select buttons to navigate to parameter 50.2. Note on a piece of paper
the DHCP supplied IP address shown.
2. With your laptop or desktop computer connected to the same LAN and DHCP
enabled, type the IP address you noted in step 1 into the browser address bar.
You should now see Ki Pro's browser status screen.
If Ki Pro cannot get an address from the DHCP server on the LAN while Ki Pro is set to
DHCP via parameter 50.1, it will then automatically drop back to a preset factory IP
address of 192.168.0.2. In this instance you can follow these alternate steps to
communicate with Ki Pro:
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's browser status screen.
Note: If Ki Pro fails to find a DHCP server via it's network connection, it will fall back to using
the factory default static IP of 192.168.0.2—or whatever IP address you've previously
defined. AJA recommends you define a Static IP address with parameter 50.2 so you'll be
prepared in the event your DHCP server fails.
To set a static IP address for Ki Pro, you'll have to make some simple Parameter menu
selections. The illustration below shows the four menu selections you need to make,
while entering the information provided to you by your IT administrator (as discussed
earlier).
