Kling-Net Mapper is part of the ArKaos software package and is used to inform the ArKaos
software about the layout of the Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panels. This process is called called
mapping. Kling-Net Mapper and ArKaos software can 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™ Aw 7x7
panels and informing ArKaos software of the mapping.
1. Connect the ArKaos computer and Nexus™ Aw 7x7s to the same network. For more
information, see Ethernet Connections
2. Set the all the Nexus™ Aw 7x7s to Kling-Net operating mode. For more information, see
Setting Modes and 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.
It can take up to 20 seconds for all the products to populate the list and the devices display in
different colors for different reasons, which are as follows:
Colors and Activity
Black with an ID number and IP address
Green with an ID number and IP address
Black to red with no IP address during initial
population
Black to red after initial population

There is connectivity and everything is working properly,
but the device is not yet mapped.
There is connectivity and everything is working properly,
and the device is mapped.
The King-Net™ Mapper could not find an IP address for
the device, most likely because the system is using an
Ethernet switch instead of an Ethernet hub.
The connectivity has been lost.
