Linking a Kaptivo to KaptivoCast

KaptivoCast offers two connection methods to link with a Kaptivo.

Configure the KaptivoCast

After selecting a connection method, the display screen will prompt you to connect to the KaptivoCast in order to configure it. Simply go to the IP address displayed using a browser connected on the same network.

Log in

You will first be prompted to enter a username and password for the KaptivoCast. The default is “admin/admin”. You will then be prompted to update the password, which we recommend you do.

Name your KaptivoCast

The main page of the KaptivoCast configuration page provides a way to name your KaptivoCast. 

Select the Kaptivo(s) you wish to link with the KaptivoCast

The Kaptivos section of the KaptivoCast setup shows Connected Kaptivos and Discovered Kaptivos.

• If you connect via a direct point-to-point connection, the Kaptivo will automatically appear as a Connected Kaptivo.
• For network connections, discovered Kaptivos will automatically show up in the Discovered Kaptivos table. From there, simply select Link to pair the Kaptivo with this KaptivoCast.
  
  • If your Kaptivo is not shown in the Discovered list, you can click "Add Manually" and you will be prompted for Kaptivo ID or IP Address.
    • use Kaptivo ID for cloud-connected Kaptivos
    • use IP Address for Self-hosted Kaptivos. 
  • For security, you will then be prompted to enter the username and password of the Kaptivo and to confirm the pairing.
  • You can link up to eight Kaptivos for each KaptivoCast.

Your pairing is now complete. Please note that for this version of the app, Kaptivos connected to a KaptivoCast cannot also be operated in cloud mode. This constraint may be changed in a future firmware release.
