Setting up KDS Lavu

The setup process for KDS Lavu is quite simple and can be done in only a few minutes. The most important part of setting up KDS Lavu is setting the designated KDS Lavu iPad to a static IP address on your network. Doing this prevents the iPad from changing its IP address if it is ever turned off or when reconnecting to your network from getting a new one. (See SET UP: KDS Lavu iPad)
