KMV-3901/3911 Cascade
Step-by-Step Configuration
Repairing a Cascade Configuration
While connected in XEdit to a multiviewer that is part of a cascade, if you change the
system name or IP address of this multiviewer while another cascade member is offline or
otherwise unavailable, the underlying cluster’s integrity will be broken. If you attempt to
make such a change, XEdit will alert you of the situation, prompting you to cancel the
operation and try again later, when all cascade members are available. Changing the
system name or IP address of a KMV-3901/3911 multiviewer associated with a cascade, by
using the card’s control panel on the Densité housing frame, or by using the
KMV-3901/3911 control panel in iControl, is also not supported. To maintain the integrity of
the underlying cluster configuration, you must use XAdmin to make any such changes.
However, in the advent that such a change was made by mistake, or that is had to be forced
for some reason, you will have to repair the broken cascade.
To repair the cascade configuration:
1 In XEdit, connect to System B, the multiviewer that was unavailable when the change
was made, once it is available again.
2 In the Description/Calibrations tab, remove System A from the cluster, and then add it
back to the cluster.
If only the IP address was changed then no further action is required. Otherwise, if the
system name was changed, then proceed as follows.
3 Connect to System A.
4 Change something in every room (e.g. move a display and then bring it back to its
initial position) to enable the Save button, and then save the room.
This will replicate the proper room configuration to the other members of the cascade.
(At the same time, the layouts will also be updated on all multiviewers in the cascade.)
Cascade Upgrade
Update the multiviewers that are part of a cascade in sequence, starting with the multiviewer
farthest from the monitor wall, and finishing with the one connected to the monitor-wall
displays. In the case of a KMV-3901/3911 cascade, this means starting with the card on the
left when looking at the front of the Densité frame, then proceeding with the next card on
its right, and finally the rightmost one if any. When you restart one multiviewer at the end
Note: In the procedure below, System A refers to the system whose name or
IP address was changed while another multiviewer, referred to as System B,
was unavailable.
