You'll Need
Ki Pro can be networked directly to a MacBook Pro or Mac using a single Ethernet
cable (straight or cross-over)—or it can be connected to a local area network (LAN). If
wireless networking is desired, Ki Pro can also be controlled via an iPhone or laptop
browser using 802.11b/g and communicating through a wireless access point
(AirPort).
In hard-wired configurations, Ki Pro connects via its 10/100/1000 Base-TX Ethernet
connector. In a direct connection, you simply connect the Ki Pro to an Ethernet-
equipped computer having a browser using a Cat-5 cable. If connecting via a LAN,
you then connect the Ki Pro's Ethernet connector to a hub or switch on the LAN. A
LAN is a shared network that includes other Ethernet devices all attached via a hub or
digital switch. LANs may be divided into zones separated by software or hardware
routers.
Devices on a LAN have IP addresses which may be fixed and permanent, or
dynamically assigned by the network (DHCP). When attaching Ki Pro to a LAN, you
should first talk to your network administrator and find out how they want it
connected (static IP or DHCP). Your IT department will be able to supply the
information you need to install Ki Pro on a LAN.
Caution!
This device is a Class A product. Operation of this equipment in a residential area
is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to take
whatever measures may be necessary to correct the interference at their own
expense.
Caution!
The 802.11b/g radio is disabled by default and can be enabled only in the
presence of an authorized access point.
Warning!
Intentional radiators, such as the AJA Ki Pro client adapter, are not intended to be
operated with any antenna(s) other than those furnished by AJA. An intentional
radiator may only be operated with the antenna(s) with which it is authorized.
Warning!
Do not touch the Ki Pro radio or antenna cover when the antenna is transmitting
or receiving.
Warning!
Install this device in such a manner as to maintain a minimum of 5 cm (2 inches)
separation distance between the radiating element(s) and all persons. This safety
warning conforms with FCC radio frequency exposure limits.
If your LAN has a DHCP server that assigns IP addresses dynamically, then you don't
have to configure anything (Ki Pro defaults to DHCP). If for some reason your IT
administrator prefers an assigned IP address that is fixed (called a "static IP"), then get
the IP address—you'll be entering it in the "IP CONFIG parameter. " If your LAN
requires static IP addresses, then also ask your IT administrator for the Subnet Mask
and default gateway IP address (your LAN's internet router). The following two topics
discuss two different ways to set up Ki Pro: via DHCP or via a static IP address.
