Scan Device IP

You can discover the IP of your device by clicking on "Workgroup Manager"(1) and then the name of your device (2) (you can use the  MAC address to find it). The IP will appear on the right (3).

Command line

It is also possible to discover devices in your network via the Windows command line. In this section we are going to use the dns-sd command.

1. Open the windows terminal (cmd)

2. Discover the devices on workstation:

2.1. Type the following command:

 dns-sd -B _workstation._tcp

2.2. You will be given an output like:

3. Look up the hostname with:

dns-sd -L "<instance_name>" _workstation._tcp

4. Look up the IPv4 address for the given hostname:

dns-sd -Gv4 <hostname>

MacOS X

Install this utility: BonjourBrowser.dmg

If your Mac OS version can not run the previous file, you will have to install the app "Discovery - DNS-SD Browser" available in the Apple Store.  

Linux

Install avahi-discovery packet (sudo apt-get install avahi-discover).

Alternatives

Alternatively, a common network scanner can be used.

• • Run a network scanner: for example http://www.advanced-ip-scanner.com/

  • Identify a device with a network device with Manufacturer Texas Instruments

  • Identify the IP and use Chrome or Firefox to connect to the device

Confirm device IP

To confirm that the Keonn System works correctly, open a web browser (preferably Google Chrome or Firefox) and go to this link:

http://<IP-address>

(replace the text IP-address for your own IP)

Is my device already configured with a static IP?

Using one of the solutions presented above, perform an IP scan and find the IP of your Keonn's device. Once the IP is known open a terminal on your computer and retrieve your PC IP and netmask:

• For Windows: Open cmd terminal and type ipconfig command

• For Linux: Open your default terminal and type ifconfig command 

In this example, the PC IP is 192.168.1.114 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0

Then, in order to know if the device IP and the PC IP are in the same IP range, look for the common digits in both IPs:

• For the X.0.0.0 Subnet Mask, the first value of both IPs should be equal

• For the X.X.0.0 Subnet Mask, the first 2 values of both IPs should be equal

• For the X.X.X.0 Subnet Mask, the first 3 values of both IPs should be equal

If one of the above cases was true for you, you will be able to connect to your Keonn device just by using the device IP retrieved previously with the device scanner.

If none of the 3 cases apply, your device IP is configured with a Static IP! This means that your PC and your Keonn's device are not in the same IP range. In that case, please continue with the guide -> Connect to Static IP

Example 1: Device has Static IP

In that case the PC Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 has the 3 first values as non-zero. This means that in order to connect to Keonn's device both device and PC must be in the same IP range. That IS NOT the case as the device IP 192.168.9.129 and the PC IP 192.168.1.114 do not match the first 3 values. In order to connect to your device, you should follow the guide -> Connect to Static IP.

Example 2: Device with Dynamic IP

In that case, the PC Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 has the 3 first values as non-zero. This means that in order to connect to Keonn's device both device and PC must be in the same IP range. That IS the case as the device IP 192.168.1.129 and the PC IP 192.168.1.114 match the first 3 values. As they are at the same range, you will be able to connect to the device just by using the IP obtained with the device scanner.
