fixed or dynamically assigned (DHCP) IP addresses. Before connecting Ki Pro Quad to the

LAN, talk to your network administrator to find out how they want it connected (static IP

or DHCP).

TCP/IP Information

You’ll Need

If your LAN has a DHCP server that assigns IP addresses dynamically, you don’t have to

configure anything (Ki Pro Quad defaults to DHCP). If for some reason your IT

administrator prefers an assigned IP address that is fixed (called a “static IP”), get the IP

address—you’ll be entering it in the “IP CONFIG parameter.” If your LAN requires static IP

addresses, 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 Quad: via DHCP or via a static IP address.

Networking via

DHCP

The default configuration (from the factory) automatically looks for a DHCP server to

issue an IP address. So, as long as your network has a DHCP server (usually part of your

router), you need to do nothing other than plugging the Ki Pro Quad into the net. To

manually select DHCP: use the Select buttons to navigate to the parameter “50.1 IP

CONFIG”, and then use the Adjust buttons to select “DHCP”. That’s it!

Here are the steps to communicate with Ki Pro Quad after choosing the DHCP selection:

1. Use the Select buttons to navigate to parameter 50.2. Note on a piece of paper the

DHCP supplied IP address shown.

2. With your laptop or desktop computer connected to the same LAN and DHCP

enabled, type the IP address you noted in step 1 into the browser address bar. You

should now see Ki Pro Quad’s browser status screen.

If Ki Pro Quad cannot get an address from the DHCP server on the LAN while Ki Pro Quad

is set to DHCP via parameter 50.1, it will then automatically drop back to a preset factory

IP address of 192.168.0.2. In this instance you can follow these alternate steps to

communicate with Ki Pro Quad:

1. Set the computer’s Ethernet IP address to 192.168.0.n (where n is not 2).

2. Set the computer’s Subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 (most computers default to the

proper netmask when the address is set).

3. Run a browser on the computer and type “192.168.0.2” (the factory fallback IP

address). You should now see Ki Pro Quad’s browser status screen.

NOTE: If Ki Pro Quad fails to find a DHCP server via its network connection, it will fall back to using

the factory default static IP of 192.168.0.2—or whatever IP address you’ve previously defined.

AJA recommends you define a Static IP address with parameter 50.2 so you’ll be prepared in

the event your DHCP server fails.
