What You Should Install
Encore Control System machine control software (formerly called
OmniBus software), used for external Profile and VTR device control via
the Kalypso system Machine Control subpanel, is included on the Kalypso
Software CD.
Sharer, System Manager, and Encore Operator User Interface (OUI) soft-
ware can be installed on a Kalypso system using the Kalypso Install pro-
gram. A Sharer and System Manager must be installed somewhere in your
facility to control a Profile or VTR with the Kalypso system, but only one
instance should be installed. Multiple versions of the Encore OUI can
safely reside on the network.
The Base Install includes a Port Mapper application, used to manage
system ports. This is installed regardless of which options are selected.
A default database is also included on the Kalypso Software CD, con-
taining default IP addresses of Kalypso system and Profile devices. This
database is to be installed only one time, as a baseline to begin configura-
tion, and should not be reloaded onto an existing operating system. Default
IP addresses will work if the Kalypso system and all the machine control
components reside on an isolated network. If the Kalypso system is inter-
connected with a facility’s local area network, however, the IP addresses in
the Encore data base will probably need to be changed.
The Sharer, Database, and all the Encore/Omnibus servers must reside on
the same subnet. The Encore system uses broadcast messages that do not
propagate through routers.
In facilities where more than one Kalypso Menu panel exists or where mul-
tiple Kalypso systems access the same devices, it is best to install the Encore
central core on a separate PC rather than on one of the Kalypso Menu
panels. Otherwise, shutting down the Kalypso Menu panel with the Encore
database may stop a Kalypso system from controlling the machines. The
installation procedure on a PC is the same as that used on a Kalypso Menu
panel (just insert the CD and follow the directions). If the core components
are not installed on a Kalypso Menu panel, an Encore OUI should also be
installed with the central core. This provides configuration access indepen-
dent of a Kalypso Menu panel, which might be turned off or unavailable.
