Web Browser via Ethernet

Chapter 4:
An optimized web server inside Ki Pro allows you to remotely monitor and adjust
parameter settings via a a browser client, either running on a network wired
computer or wireless device. The network can be a closed local area network, a
straight computer-to-Ki Pro cable, or even exposed through a firewall to a broadband
WAN (not generally recommended since anyone on the internet can then access the
Ki Pro). If wireless networking is desired, Ki Pro can communicate with a LAN attached
802.11 access point for communication with wireless browser clients like an Apple
iPhone or Apple iPod Touch—or 802.11b/g enabled laptops.
The LAN connection on Ki Pro uses a standard RJ45 connector, but internally it's
intelligent and communicates via standard "straight-through" CAT 5 ethernet cables
or null-modem (cross-over) cables without any configuration or strapping required.
Note: Safari is the supported web browser for Ki Pro control. Other web browsers
may work, but AJA cannot guarantee consistent operation for all web browsers or
web browser versions.
Note that anytime you need to return to the factory Ki Pro configuration, you can
easily do so. To perform a global reset of Ki Pro to factory settings, go to Ki Pro front
panel CONFIG parameter 99.0 for a reset to factory values. You can also recall factory
settings by selecting the Presets browser menu, scrolling to the bottom of the list of
presets, and clicking Recall Factory Preset.
To control Ki Pro via wired internet, connect a computer to the Ki Pro unit's LAN
connector, an RJ45 socket, via a CAT5 ethernet cable.
To access the Ki Pro, simply enter its URL in the web browser. The URL will be the IP
address defined in Ki Pro's Network parameter menus (50.2—please note also that
50.1 through 50.4 must all be configured correctly to access Ki Pro on your network).
If Ki Pro is using DHCP (the default), the IP address can be found by going to
parameter 50.2 and reading it there. When
Ki Pro is shipped from the AJA factory, it defaults to DHCP operation.
If 50.1 is set to DHCP, and the DHCP server on the network fails to grant an IP address,
then Ki Pro will fall back to the static IP address.
