Kronos connecting to your network using USB ethernet adapter
|Using a USB Ethernet adapter
Did you know it’s possible to connect your Kronos to your computer using a USB Ethernet adapter? The Kronos supports FTP connections to access the internal SSD (Solid State Drive = like the internal Hard disk). It could be useful to make back-ups of your data, or you could use it to upload samples to your Kronos.
At this moment of writing, these USB Ethernet adapters are supported for a succesful connection to your Kronos.:
• Apple USB Ethernet Adapter (MC704ZM/A)
• Cisco Linksys USB‐300M
• TRENDnet TU2‐ET100
• BUFFALO LUA3‐U2‐AGT
• BUFFALO LUA3‐U2‐ATX
• BUFFALO LUA‐U2‐KTX
• IODATA ETX3‐US2
• Logitec LAN‐TX/U2B
• Logitec LAN‐TX/U2H3
• Planex UE‐100TX‐G3
Of course you need a computer and a network cable (utp).
Basic steps to setup an FTP connection:
- Make sure your computer is connected to your home / business network (wifi or UTP)
- Connect the USB part of the USB ethernet adapter to your Kronos and the Ethernet part of the USB ethernet adapter to your home / buesiness network.
- Turn on Kronos and your computer
- Kronos: go to the Global settings
- Kronos: go to the NETWORK tab (if you don’t see the network tab, make sure you have the latest operating system (OS) on your Kronos)
- Your network should assign an IP adres to your Kronos (using DHCP)
- OK, now your Kronos has an IP; the default FTP username is kronos and password is also kronos.
- Now you can use an FTP client like FileZilla (which is free) on your computer to connect to your Kronos.
- in FileZilla (on your computer): make a new connection (or site).
Fill out:
host = [IP address that your network assigned to your Kronos] logon type = normal
user = kronos
password = kronos
and press CONNECT - you should be able to see your SSD drive (or drives if you have more than one SSD built in)
