Thank you for purchasing the Kingray Professional Series
Headend. This programming manual contains information on
programming the system either by Ethernet or USB including
detailed information on the functions of the firmware. Both
programs (web browser and USB) have been tested on the
following operating systems and browsers. Any programs not
listed are not supported. USB software will only work on a PC.
The operating systems (both 32 and 64 bit, with
Service Pack 3) tested are: XP Home, XP Professional,
Vista, Windows 7 Starter, Windows 7 Home, Windows 7
Professional. Browsers tested are: Windows Explorer 7, 8
and 9, Google Chrome 11 and Mozilla Firefox 3.6. For the
latest version of software, please visit our website

1.1 GETTING STARTED
Now that you have installed the rack, launch amplifier and
modules, it is now time to program the system via the KLA-110
Launch Amplifier, following these steps;
• Connect a straight through Ethernet lead from a PC/
laptop to the KLA-110 Ethernet socket. (Older computers may
require a crossover cable).
• Make sure you have set a static IP address in the computer
directly connected to the KLA-110.
• Open your web browser software such as Internet Explorer,
Google Chrome or Firefox etc.
• Then type the following default IP address 192.168.1.1 in
the address field and press enter.
NOTE: When connecting a computer directly to the KLA-110, make
sure that the IP address set up in the computer is in the same range
(192.168.X.X but not the same as in the KLA-110). In addition, write
down any settings you change so that you can reconnect to your own
network at a later stage. For assistance in changing your computers
IP address in Windows XP and Windows 7, see Appendix A. For any
other operating system, please use this as a guide and consult your
operation manual of your operating system.
• The window will now look like this, click on ‘HERE’ to log in.
• A window will appear for you to enter the User name and
Password. Enter the default user name ‘admin’ and default
password ‘admin’, then press OK.

6.0 TROUBLE SHOOTING
NO COMMUNICATION VIA ETHERNET
Problem
I have connected the network cable directly to the KLA-
110 and computer, opened the web browser, entered
the default IP address (192.168.1.1), but there is still
no communication.
Solution
Check that you have set you computer with a static IP address
within the same range.
E.g. IP Address: 192.168.1.80
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Problem
I have connected the system as above but still no
connection. I noticed the communication LED’s do not
flash on the KLA-110 when plugging in the
ethernet lead.
Solution
If the computer you are using is old, (i.e. over 5 years old), you
may need to use a cross over cable.
NO COMMUNICATION VIA USB
Problem
I have loaded the driver, followed by the software, but
it doesn’t communicate with the module.
Solution
Check that your USB port in the computer is the same as what
the software is. Check you communication ports in Device
Manager and check in the USB software under the headings
‘Connection’ and ‘Settings’.
Problem
I ran the USB software but an error message came back
saying ‘Failed to read data from Channel Converter’.
Solution
Check that you have connected to a channel Converter module.
