Introduction
Gateway Options for the Kaleido-K2
In an environment containing many Kaleido-K2 multiviewers, there is a gateway
running on each Kaleido-K2. Remember that in such an environment you should
configure your system to have at most two lookups running (refer to How to configure
the Kaleido-K2 in systems including more than two units and application servers? in the
Kaleido-K2 documentation, for more information).
Gateway Options for the Kaleido-K2
Two gateways are available for use with the Kaleido-K2:
• The internal gateway is implemented within the Kaleido-K2 software. See Kaleido-K2
Internal Gateway below.
• The MT-Gateway runs as a Windows service on the Kaleido-K2's operating system. See
Kaleido-K2 MT-Gateway on page 3.
Kaleido-K2 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. It is configured
through the
Kaleido.properties file, and is turned on or off by editing that file.
The internal gateway and the MT-Gateway must not be running concurrently: refer to
Disabling the Kaleido-K2’s MT-Gateway , on page 3, to verify that the MT-Gateway is turned
off.
Enabling or Disabling the Kaleido-K2’s Internal Gateway
To enable or disable the Kaleido-K2’s internal gateway
1 On your Kaleido-K2’s desktop, double-click 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.
IMPORTANT
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, or in specific
situations based on design considerations, but its use is deprecated.
Only one gateway can be operating at a time: you must manage the gateway
resources to ensure that this is the case.
