Remote Network Control

The following diagram and text explain how to interface to Ki Pro using an Ethernet
direct connection, LAN, or wireless network.

Figure 16. Ki Pro Networking Example

Network
Connections

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.
