Setting up the Kaleido-IP Hardware
To set up the Kaleido-IP hardware
1 Referring to the manufacturer’s documentation shipped with your Kaleido-IP unit,
mount the unit in a standard 19-inch rack. Make sure that the unit has adequate
ventilation.
2 Connect your Kaleido-IP’s gigabit Ethernet port LAN1 to the dedicated 1000Base-T (or
100Base-T) Ethernet switch associated with your management network, and connect
LAN2 to the switch associated a data network (see
Cabling Diagram , on page 7).
You will use the first port (gigabit LAN1) to manage your system (e.g. by using XEdit,
and XAdmin), and direct all high-bitrate data (e.g. MPEG2 streams) to the other ports
(gigabit LAN2, or, in the case of a Kaleido-IP X300 with two, or four optional network
adapters, LAN2–LAN4, or LAN2–LAN6).
3 Connect a client PC, and the Kaleido-RCP2 (if available) to the switch on LAN1. You can
also connect a mouse and a keyboard to your Kaleido-RCP2.
Notes
• The Kaleido-RCP2 is an optional device, and may not have been shipped
with your Kaleido-IP system. For information on this and other options for
your multiviewer system, please contact your Grass Valley sales
representative.
