Connection to a network of Thunder-KS
The Thunder-KS active subwoofers feature a RJ45 Ethernet
port on the rear panel that allows to connect the loudspeakers
to a local area network (LAN), in order to ease the remote
control.
The Thunder-KS implements the zeroconf network
technologies, allowing to direct connect the active subwoofer
to a PC via the Ethernet CAT5 cables, as well as including the
devices into a network without any user configuration.
The simplest local network of Thunder-KS active subwoofers
requires the implementation of an Ethernet switch. When an
access point is available, the network of Thunder-KS active
subwoofers can be easily managed with the K-array Connect
mobile app over the LAN.
1. Connect each Thunder-KS active subwoofer to a Wi-Fi
access point with built-in Ethernet switch: use Ethernet
Cat5 or Cat6 cables.
2. Set the access point Wi-Fi network SSID and parameters.
3. Ensure the Wi-Fi of the mobile device is on.
4. Connect the mobile device to the access point Wi-Fi
network.
5. Launch the K-array Connect app: the app looks for any
device in the network whose name starts with “K-array”
and tries to establish a connection.
6. If the list of available devices is empty swipe down to
force refresh the list of available devices.
If a DHCP service is available, it will assign an IP address to
each Thunder-KS. If a DHCP service is not available, each
Thunder-KS active subwoofer will self assign an IP address
in the range 169.254.0.0/16 (auto-IP).
