This section covers features for updating and backing up the KMD-5551E translator.

Features in the Advanced group are for updating the firmware and backing up the translator
configuration.

Recovering the IP address

Discover an unknown network IP address.

Firmware updates

—From time to time, KMC Controls issues updates to the firmware for the

translator. The updates can be added directly to the translator from the browser pages.

Configure from file

—Configuration properties for the translator can be saved in a JSON

(JavaScript Object Notation) file. The file can then be used as a backup file or to configure
other translators with similar properties.

Recovering the network address

If the network address of the translator is lost or unknown, the translator will respond to the
default IP address for the first 20 seconds after power is applied.

1

Disconnect the translator from the LAN and connect the translator as described in the
topic

Initial setup

on page 21

.

2

Unplug the translator from the power source.

3

On the computer, open a browser window and enter the default address of
192.168.1.252.

4

Reconnect the translator from the power source and immediately attempt to connect
with the browser. The browser will respond with the translator's IP address and subnet
mask.
