Kling-Net Mapper is part of the ArKaos software package. It informs the
ArKaos software about the layout of the Nexus™ 4x4 products in a
process called mapping.
The following section provides step-by-step instructions for mapping the
Nexus™ 4x4 products.
1.
Connect the ArKaos computer and Nexus™ 4x4s to the same
network. See
Ethernet Connections
2.
Set all the Nexus™ 4x4s to Kling-Net operating mode.
3.
Open the ArKaos Kling-Net Mapper. All the Kling-Net devices
populate a list on the left side of the screen in the Connected Devices
window.
It can take up to 20 seconds for all the products to populate the list and the
color of the device's listing provides information about its status.

address

during initial population
Black to red after initial population

There is connectivity and everything is

mapped.
There is connectivity and everything is
working properly, and the device is mapped.
The King-Net™ Mapper could not find an IP
address for the device, most likely because
the system is using an Ethernet switch
instead of an Ethernet hub.
The connectivity has been lost.
