Network Configuration
This section provides instructions to configure the network settings with a
fixed IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. To use the IP Installer to
configure the IP address, see IP Installer, page 137.
Note: 1. Both devices are preconfigured with factory-default network settings.
If you install only one set of KE6900 / KE6940 units, you do not need
to change these default network settings. See Default IP Addresses,
page 24, for further details.
2. In a network setup with multiple units, each KE6900T / KE6940T and
KE6900R / KE6940R must be configured with a unique IP address.
See Network Configuration, page 23, for further details.
3. We recommended using 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet switches
between KE69xx devices installed on different LAN segments. 10/
100Mbps switches might cause poor performance.
4. In multipoint configurations, the IGMP and flow control function of
your network switches/hubs must be enabled to avoid the
deterioration of data throughput. To ensure functionality use a layer 3
switch that supports IGMP queries.
5. If your network uses cascaded switches, please check to ensure the
data throughput is sufficient.
6. To get the best performance, we suggest creating a private network
for KE69xx devices, as they are bandwidth-intensive devices.
To configure the network settings, do the following:
1. Setup the hardware and connect the Transmitter and Receiver to the local
area network (See Setting Up a LAN Installation, page 19, for details).
2. From the Receiver, tap the Scroll Lock key twice to invoke the OSD.
3. Select the User Station or Transmitter from the Sidebar menu.
4. Enter the password and click Configure.
The default password is: password.
5. From the Network tab select Set IP address manually and enter the
following:
 IP Address– sets the IP address for the KE6900 / KE6940. Key in a
valid unique IP address.
