Kling-Net Mapper is part of the Arkaos software package and is used to inform the ArKaos
software about the layout of the Nexus™ 4x4 panels. This process is called mapping. Kling-
Net Mapper and ArKaos software can be run simultaneously allowing the operator to see
immediately the effects of the mapping on the live presentation. However, Kling-Net Mapper
does not need to be active for ArKaos software to work. For more information, see ArKaos
manuals at http://arkaospro.com.
The following section provides step-by-step instructions for mapping the Nexus™ 4x4 panels
and informing ArKaos software of the mapping.
1. Connect the Arkaos computer and Nexus™ 4x4s to the same network. For more
information, see Art-Net™/Kling-Net Connection
2. Set the all the Nexus™ 4x4s to Kling-Net operating mode. For more information, see
Setting Ethernet Protocols.
3. Open the ArKaos Kling-Net Mapper. All the Kling-Net devices populate a list on the left
side of the screen in the Connected Devices window.
