How to Set a Fixed / Static Control IP Address

By default, KLANG devices rely on DHCP (or link-local if no DHCP server is available). This manual walks you through setting up fixed IPs for KLANG hardware, KLANG:app (on computers, tablets, smartphones), and KLANG:kontroller, ensuring reliable auto-discovery and streamlined network management.

We recommend the following procedure to configure a KLANG system including KLANG:app on a computer with fixed IPs.

Prepare the Network

1. Connect all devices to a network (at this point, they should all use DHCP, no fixed IP addresses assigned, yet)
2. Turn off all additional network ports on your computer, especially disable WiFi if you are using an Ethernet connection
3. Power cycle all devices (to make sure they use DHCP / zeroconf IP addresses)
4. Open KLANG:app and wait for the devices to appear in CONFIG > CONNECT (this might take up to 30 seconds)

Assign Fixed (Static) IP Addresses

1. Then follow instructions below for “KLANG processor / KLANG:kontroller”. Once successful, these devices might disappear in KLANG:app.
2. Repeat the previous step for all devices that should be configured with a fixed IP address.
3. At last, proceed with the steps for your windows or mac computer

Set default fixed IP 192.168.1.200 via Reset Button

With KOS 5.7, the reset button on KLANG processors can be used to quickly set the fixed IP address 192.168.1.200/16 which is compatible with the default DiGiCo IP address range. Simple push the recessed Reset button 3 times.

To revert to DHCP / link-local automatic IPs simply press the reset button 2 times. Jump to the section below for further info.

Via KLANG:app

KLANG:app > Login to KLANG processor or :kontroller

CONFIG > INFO > Set Menu > Set Fixed/Static IP

Choose from the Quick IP Wizard > DiGiCo default or manually enter IP address and Subnet mask, in this example 192.168.1.200/16 without a Default Gateway.

Type settings into windows search bar

Select TCP/IP on the left

Select Configure IPv4 > Manually

Enter the desired static / fixed IP address and Subnet mask and Router/Gateway, in this example 192.168.2.12 with subnet mask 255.255.0.0 = /16 and Router (Default Gateway) 192.168.1.1

Click OK

1. Open Settings.

   • Subnet Mask (commonly 255.255.255.0)
   • Router (your gateway, e.g., 192.168.1.1)
8. Tap Save (top right).

This guide explains what the LED colors mean on a KLANG processor without a display. It helps users understand the network status, connection state, and audio clock validity — even before connecting a KLANG:app.
