Upload and Install the Software on your Ki Pro

Uploading and installing the software update only requires a PC or Mac that can “see” the Ki

Pro via its ethernet connection. Follow this procedure to install the software:

1. Point your browser at Ki Pro's upgrade page by clicking on the “Update Firmware” link

at the bottom of the navigation box on the left-hand side of any Ki Pro web page.

2. Click the “Browse...” button to select the ﬁle you previously downloaded. For example:

kipro_ver_2.0.0.99.bin contained in the zipﬁle downloaded from AJA.

3. When you have selected a valid Ki Pro image ﬁle, click the “Upload” button in the web

browser. The ﬁle you select will upload to the Ki Pro and be tested for validity.

Incomplete, corrupted, or non-Ki Pro software ﬁles are rejected.

4. Wait for the procedure to complete—it will take only a few minutes. When done, Ki Pro

will prompt you to restart your machine. After restart, Ki Pro will be running the new

software. Progress is shown on the front panel.

5. Once these steps are complete, Ki Pro will be running the software you just uploaded

until the next time you upgrade it. The conﬁguration of the Ki Pro prior to the upgrade

will be preserved.

Ensure the new software is running by bringing up the Ki Pro web page again; the

software version is displayed at the top of all web screens. If for some rare reason it

didn't update, you can then run through the update steps again.

Note:

On some browsers, the Retry page may appear even though the software upgrade was

successful. If this occurs, before clicking on retry, refresh the web page and check the

version number. If the new version number appears at the top of the page, the software

upgrade was successful. If the old version appears, click Retry.

If there is a power outage or glitch during the software download, Ki Pro will boot the

older software version and the upgrade process can then be re-started by the user. This

happens because Ki Pro has been designed with a safety feature where an internal “safe”

copy of the previous software is retained in the event the updating process fails.

Caution!

AJA recommends you only update the Ki Pro when on mains power, or with a

fully charged battery.

Web Browser via Wireless Device

Another option for remote control is Ki Pro’s built-in 802.11 wireless transceiver which can

communicate with properly conﬁgured 802.11 wireless access points such as an Airport

Basestation or 802.11 wireless router.

Note: Although Ki Pro has an internal 802.11 transceiver, it is not a wireless access point.

Wireless browser clients talk to Ki Pro via an external wireless access point (such an

Airport Extreme base station). Enabling wireless control turns on the internal 802.11

radio. Parameters 53.1 through 55.1 must be set correctly to conﬁgure Ki Pro so it can be

controlled via 802.11b/g.

You can enable or disable wireless control of Ki Pro for security. Further, you can select a type

of wireless security to match other devices; popular methods such as WEP, WPA and WPA2 are

supported. To use wireless control you’ll follow this basic process:

• Enable wireless control of Ki Pro: use parameter 53.1 to make this choice.

• Enter the name of a wireless network to connect to (as set on the access point you’ll

communicate with): use parameter 53.2 to enter the access point name (SSID).
