Chapter 5: Browser Remote Control
Remote Control Overview
An optimized web server inside Ki Pro Mini allows you to remotely monitor and adjust
parameter settings via a a browser client running on a network wired computer. The
network can be a closed local area network, a straight computer-to-Ki Pro Mini cable, or
even exposed through a firewall to a broadband WAN (not generally recommended since
anyone on the internet can access the Ki Pro Mini).
The LAN connection on Ki Pro Mini 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 preferred web browser for Ki Pro control on the Mac, and additionally Chrome
and Firefox on Windows. Other web browsers may work, but AJA cannot guarantee
consistent operation for all web browsers or web browser versions.
Resetting Values To
Factory Settings
Note that anytime you need to return to the factory Ki Pro Mini configuration, you can
easily do so. to perform a global reset of Ki Pro Mini to factory settings, go to Ki Pro Mini
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.
Web Browser via Ethernet
To control Ki Pro Mini remotely, connect a computer to the Ki Pro Mini unit’s LAN
connector, an RJ45 socket, via a CAT5 ethernet cable.
To access the Ki Pro Mini, simply enter its URL in the web browser. The URL will be the IP
address defined in Ki Pro Mini’s Network parameter menus (50.2—please note also that
50.1 through 50.4 must all be configured correctly to access Ki Pro Mini on your network).
If Ki Pro Mini is using DHCP (the default), the IP address can be found by going to
parameter 50.2 and reading it there. When Ki Pro Mini is shipped from the AJA factory, it
defaults to DHCP operation.
