USER’S GUIDE
2 | Kaleido Remote Control Protocol (Gateway)

The MT-Gateway runs as a Windows service on the Kaleido- K2’s operating system
Note: The internal gateway is the preferred gateway, and Miranda strongly recommends that it be used
instead of the MT-Gateway, as it is more robust. The MT-Gateway might be used for legacy applications
(the internal gateway was not available in early versions of the software), or in specific situations based
on design considerations, but its use is deprecated.
It is important to note that only one gateway can be operating at a time, and the user must manage the
gateway resources to ensure that this is the case.
1.3.1 Internal Gateway
The internal gateway is implemented in the Kaleido-K2 software itself, and is therefore internal to and
exclusively functional with a specific Kaleido-K2 frame.
The internal gateway is configured through the Kaleido.properties file, and is turned on or off by
editing that file. Here is how to do it:
1. From your Kaleido- K2’s desktop, double-click the icon My Computer.
2. Navigate to C:\iControl\Startup\ and open the file Kaleido.properties using Notepad
(right-click the Kaleido.properties file, and then select Notepad from the Open With menu).
3. Search the file for either of the following lines:

activateInternalGateway=TRUE

activateInternalGateway=FALSE
If activateInternalGateway is TRUE, the internal gateway is ON by default at startup. Disable the
internal gateway at startup by replacing TRUE with FALSE in this line.
If activateInternalGateway is FALSE, the internal gateway is OFF by default at startup. Enable the
internal gateway at startup by replacing FALSE with TRUE in this line.
4. On the File menu, click Save to save your changes.
5. Close the Notepad editor.
6. Restart the Kaleido-K2.
The internal gateway supports all Kaleido/Gateway commands when connected via port 13000, and
supports only the command when connected via port 10001. (The
command is available on the Kaleido-K2 systems only.)
1.3.2 MT-Gateway
The MT-Gateway is shipped with current versions of the Kaleido-K2 in support of legacy applications, but
its use is not recommended.
As the MT-Gateway must not be running when you are using the internal gateway, verify that it is turned
off as follows:
1. On the Kaleido-K2, display the desktop (use the desktop icon on the menu bar).
