Remote Connectivity
The Kommander-KA02 I amplifier unit features a built-in hot spot establishing a local Wi-Fi network dedicated to remote control the amplifier with mobile devices. The default local Wi-Fi SSID and unit IP address are printed on a label located on the bottom plate of the Kommander-KA02 I unit; a QR code for ease the connectivity is printed as well. The RJ45 Ethernet port on the rear panel allows to connect the Kommander-KA02 I amplifier unit to a local area network (LAN). Since every host on a network must be identified by a unique IP address, the simplest local network usually implement a router/switch with DHCP server managing the addresses allocation: by default the Kommander-KA02 I unit is set to obtain a local IP address from the DHCP server. A static IP address can be assigned to the amplifier unit using the amplifier’s embedded web app (Network menu).

Connectivity Reset
With the unit switched on, keep pressed the RESET button on the rear panel for 10 to 15 seconds in order to:

• Revert the wired IP addressing to DHCP;
• Activate the built-in Wi-Fi and reset the wireless parameters to the default SSID name and password.

Getting Started With K-array Connect

1. Power up the unit.
2. Hold your mobile device (smartphone or tablet): ensure the Wi-Fi connectivity is on.
3. Launch the K-array Connect app.
4. If the list of available devices is empty touch the SCAN QR CODE button and use the mobile device camera to frame the QR code printed on a label on the unit chassis: this provides the mobile device to connect to the amplifier’s built in hot spot.
5. Click on the image of the unit to start managing the amplifier with the K-array Connect app or click on the button with the globe in order to access its embedded web app.

In case you need to connect manually connect to the amplifier’s hot spot, the default password is the device serial number, e.g. K142AN0006 (case sensitive).
