Connections
Ki Pro Mini 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).
In hard-wired configurations, Ki Pro Mini connects via its 10/100/1000 Base-TX Ethernet
connector. In a direct connection, you simply connect the Ki Pro Mini to an Ethernet-
equipped computer having a browser using a CAT-5 cable. If connecting via a LAN, you
then connect the Ki Pro Mini’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.
Devices on a LAN have IP addresses which may be fixed and permanent, or dynamically
assigned by the network (DHCP). When attaching Ki Pro Mini to a LAN, you should first
talk to your network administrator and find out how they want it connected (static IP or
DHCP). Your IT department will be able to supply the information you need to install Ki
Pro Mini on a LAN.
