Using the Kramer Control agent (connecting to Brain)
  • The KT-205WM touch panel contains a Kramer Control agent (an app), which connects to Kramer Control. Kramer Control’s Brain creates customized interfaces which the Kramer Control agent can display on the touch panel. The customized interfaces can control all aspects of a meeting space. For more information about Kramer Brain, see https://www.kramerav.com/product/KramerControl .
  • When the touch panel starts, the Kramer Control agent loads automatically (it is pre-installed on KT-205WM). If an interface has been defined, it will be displayed.
  • If this is the first time the Kramer Control app has run, then it will ask you to enter the URL & port number of the customized interface you have chosen to display.

Interface URL

  • The URL of the customized interface is generated by KC-Brain or by your SL-240 / SL-280 interface. The URL is always followed by a port number (and a code on SL-240 / SL-280).
  • The hardware section of the builder’s Brain Info contains the URL (in the format IP:port#) of the customized Brain interface. kramer-KT-205WM-5-5-Touch-Panel-01 \(6\)

Port Numbers
Different versions of the Kramer Control Brain use different port numbers:

  1. Kramer SL-240 or SL-280: Port 8000.
  2. KC-Virtual Brain 1: Port 8001.
  3. KC-Virtual Brain 5: Ports 8001 – 8005 (KC-Virtual Brain 5 can define up to 5 different touch pad control interfaces, each will use a different port).kramer-KT-205WM-5-5-Touch-Panel-01 \(7\)

Updating the interface URL in the Kramer Control agent
There are 3 possible methods of updating the interface URL in the Kramer Control agent:

  1. In the Kramer Control agent (on the touch panel screen).
  2. In a web browser (on a remote computer connected to the same network).
  3. In the Brain software (setting up the touch panel in the Brain software).

Any one of these methods can load the interface URL into the touch panel’s Kramer Control agent.

  1. Entering the interface URL in the Kramer Control agent
  2. Kramer Control agent opens automatically when the touch panel starts. If no interface URL has been entered, this is how the screen looks:kramer-KT-205WM-5-5-Touch-Panel-01 \(8\) If the touch panel is not displaying the Kramer Control agent, open the Kramer Agent app from the touch panel’s Home page.
  3. Press LAUNCH CONTROL INTERFACE, the URL entry pop-up appears.
  4. Enter the IP address and port of the interface that was defined in Kramer Brain, for example https://192.168.88.180:8001.
  5. By default, the K-Control slider is on, setting the tablet in “Immersive Mode”. In Immersive (full screen) mode, the system bars are hidden and users can exit the interface only by swiping up and entering a PIN. Immersive mode is recommended for the Kramer Control interface; Disable it if you are using a generic webpage.
  6. Press OK and the touch panel will load your interface. To exit the interface and access touch panel controls, slide your fingers up from the bottom of the screen and enter the PIN (default 9428).

Entering the Kramer Control URL from a browser on the same network
The following is an alternative method to setting the Kramer Control link on the touch panel. This procedure can be done remotely, without using the touch panel.
Note: The touch panel must be switched on and connected to the same LAN.

  1. Open a browser window on a computer connected to the same network as the touch panel.
  2. Enter the interface URL in the following format: https://:9804/launchkramerurl?:<port #>
  3. For example: if the touch panel’s IP is 192.168.0.56 and the Brain interface’s IP is “192.168.22.53:8001”, then you would enter https://192.168.0.56:9804/launchkramerurl?192.168.22.53:8001
  4. Note: The touch panel port (on the first URL) is 9803 for http and 9804 for https.
    If there is more than one interface on the brain it is recommended to copy and paste the highlighted portion of the URL from a browser tab showing the correct interface.

After this command is sent, the touch pad will display the Brain-defined interface.

The following interface commands for the touch panel can be sent from a browser:

  1. Check if the agent is running: https://:9804/health/Successful response: {“Status”:”up”}
  2. Reboot the touch panel: https://:9804/reboot/Successful response: {“Status”: “Rebooting”}
  3. Clear the interface URL definition in the Control app: https://:9804/reseturl/Successful response: {“Status”: “URL is reset now”}
  4. Define a new interface URL: https://:9804/launchkramerurl?:<port#> Successful response: Browser will be launched with given URL.
  5. Define a generic URL (have the touch panel display a non-Brain URL such as https://www.google.com :  https://:9804/launchurl? Successful response: Browser will be launched with given URL.

Setup the touch panel in the Brain Builder
The advantage of this method is that once defined, any changes to the interface are automatically uploaded to the tablet.

The following assumes that:

  • The interface is already setup in the Brain.
  • The touch panel is active and connected to the same network as the Brain.
  • The IP of the touch panel is static and DHCP assigned.
  1. Preliminary Setup: In the Devices tab of the Builder screen, add the K-Agent driver as a device. It must be assigned to the same network gateway as the touch panel.
  2. Navigate to the Brain control page on your computer.
  3. Select the interface that you want to use on the touch panel.
  4. Copy the interface’s URL from the address bar (see the image below).kramer-KT-205WM-5-5-Touch-Panel-01 \(11\)
  5. Navigate back to the Builder, double click on the touch panel (in the Devices list) and paste the URL from the previous step to the Kramer Control URL. Assign it a Friendly Name.kramer-KT-205WM-5-5-Touch-Panel-01 \(12\)
  6. For the Brain to be able to automatically assign the user interface to the touch panel: (see the image on the next page)
  7. In the Events tab, click System Events and select “Initialization”.
  8. Drag the Launch Kramer URL command to the ‘Initialization’ ACTIONS area.
  9. Select the Friendly Name (If only one interface is defined, it will be used by default).kramer-KT-205WM-5-5-Touch-Panel-01 \(13\)
  10. Every time the Brain reboots or connects to the touch panel the interface will be updated.
