USER’S GUIDE

28 | Kaleido Remote Control Protocol (Gateway)

Commands can be sent to the Gateway while a session is open. To send a command, type it in the
console and then press the Enter key.

There is no limit to the number of commands that can be sent in a session, and it is recommended to
keep a session open as long as there are commands to send, since opening a session takes a few
seconds. Here is a simplified example of a session:

Open a session

send command
send command

send command

Close the session.

To open a session, enter the openID command using the IP address of the Kaleido with which the
connection has to be established.

If the Gateway receives the command and recognizes it, it will respond with the following:

If the command cannot be recognized the following message will appear:

The Kaleido is now ready to receive commands.

When no more commands need to be sent to the Kaleido, close the link to the Kaleido using the closeID
command.
