More hidden functionality behind the KPAs built-in webserver?


  • I don't think there is a way to view the address on the KPA itself. You have to look at the list of assigned client IP-address for your DHCP-server. Usually that means that you have to examine the status of the DHCP-server built into your home router which is the most common source of DHCP on a home network.


    No. You can find your IP in the System Menu


    -System Menu
    -Page 12/12
    -Details
    -now the IP shows in the left, dark part of the screen.


    !! it is only visible when the KPA is connected via network cable !!

  • Not working anymore in 3.1 beta..

    Not unexpected. It was said to have been just a debugging tool for the KFC implementation.


    It wouldn't take much work to morph it into a very useful status display though. A bit more work would be a full blown editor, but if it had been done using html5 then it could have become a common interface for network-connected browsers and for the rig-manager. Both the IP and USB communications infrastructure code is already there. Look at the HTML5-based user-interface for the new small digital mixers from Soundcraft for an example of what is possible to get working in any HTML5-compliant browser today.

    I got to spend quite a bit of quality time with a Soundcraft mixer with the HTML based UI last weekend, it worked extremely well with multiple devices (smartphones of various makes, tablets, laptops). After using other digital mixers, mainly the Behringer units, I am convinced the HTML based route that Soundcraft uses is the way to go. It worked perfectly and you don't need to monkey around with apps, you just need a browser.
