If you don't want to use DHCP to network Ki Pro and also don't want to set your own
static IP address, you can simply use a Default setting to use a factory setting of
10.65.74.65. This might be useful for an application where you directly connect a laptop
or computer to Ki Pro and want to get networking quickly. Here are the steps to set up
this method of communication:
1. Use the Select buttons to navigate to parameter "50.1 IP CONFIG", and then use
the Adjust buttons to select "Default".
2. Set your laptop or desktop computer Ethernet IP address to 10.m.n.m (where m
is not 65 and n is not 74).
3. Also on the computer, set the Subnet mask to 255.0.0.0 (most PCs default to the
proper netmask when the address is set—so you may not have to do anything
here).
4. Run a browser on the computer and type "10.65.74.65" (the Default factory IP
address). You should now see Ki Pro's browser status screen.
After setting the IP address and other TCP/IP settings and connecting Ki Pro's Ethernet
connection to a LAN or directly to a computer, ensure that you have a valid connection
by "Pinging" the Ki Pro. Pinging ensures that other devices on the network, or a
computer directly attached to it, can see it. Simply run the Ping utility from a computer
on the same LAN as Ki Pro, or one attached directly to Ki Pro. Here's how to Ping a Ki Pro
from a Mac OSX computer:

Mac Ping Procedure

1. Find the Applications Folder, and then find the Utilities Folder inside of the
Applications Folder.
2. Locate the "Terminal" utility application and double-click it.
3. On the Ki Pro, go to parameter menu 50.2 and read the IP address.
4. At the Terminal prompt, enter the IP address noted in step 3. For example: ping
192.168.0.2
5. If successful, the ping utility will respond that packets were sent, received and
how long it took. For example:
64 bytes from 192.168.0.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.590 ms
6. If unsuccessful, check Ki Pro's network settings and resolve the problem with
your IT administrator.
To control Ki Pro from a web-browser on a network attached computer, you must enter
Ki Pro's IP address as a URL in the browser. For example, if Ki Pro's IP address were
"10.0.6.31", you would then type into the web browser: http://10 .0.6.31
