Changing iColor Keypad Name
You can change the name of an iColor Keypad to uniquely identify it. By default, each

Changing iColor Keypad IP Address
Each iColor Keypad comes factory-set with a unique IP address. For convenience, you
can change a keypad’s IP address.

Click the System Configuration tab on the Settings panel.

Setting the DMX Universe
By default, iColor Keypad is set to control DMX universe 0 (zero). All Philips Color
Kinetics power / data supplies also come factory-set to DMX universe 0. If the DMX
universe of a connected power / data supply has been changed — for example, in
a complex installation spanning multiple DMX universes — you must change the
Universe setting in iColor Keypad to match it.

Setting KiNET Mode
KiNET is a high-performance Ethernet protocol engineered by Philips Color Kinetics
for LED lighting control. Most Philips Color Kinetics devices can use KiNET version
1 (the default in iColor Keypad). However, sPDS-480ca power / data supplies require
KiNET version 2.
►
To set KiNET mode:
1.
Click the System Configuration tab on the Settings panel.
2.
Enter 1 or 2 in the KiNET Mode box.
3.
Click Save.
Setting the Number of Lights Per Power / Data Supply Port
For KiNET version 1, the Lights per Port setting in iColor Keypad should equal or
exceed the number of sequentially addressed nodes connected to the power / data
supply. By default, iColor Keypad is set to 72 nodes per power / data supply port,
which is sufficient for most installations.
For KiNET version 2 (Data Enabler Pro or sPDS-480ca), set the lights per port to
equal the maximum number of nodes connected to a power / data supply port.

In Windows, make sure that the first
byte of your computer’s IP address matches
the first byte of the keypad’s address
(10.x.x.x., 140.x.x.x., and so on).
