Resource Sharing
3. If you wish to use different User Prefs for different control surfaces,
either in the same suite or in different suites, use a Menu panel
associated with each control surface to setup the User Prefs and save
these file to disk, naming each so you can distinguish them from the
others.
Using Resource Sharing
Engineering Setup Recommendations
Restrict Eng Setup Changes
Eng Setup Changes should be restricted, especially if you are running in
Multi Suite mode, because of the changes to Kalypso system behavior that
result when Eng Setups are changed or loaded. It is recommended the EIC
impose this restriction if it has not already been done. This is accomplished
in the Security Account Setup menu accessed via
Eng Setup , System , Security .
Do Not Change the Suite Operating Mode
If a Kalypso system is configured to use Resource Sharing, it should be set
to Multi Suite mode and left in that state. There is no need to change modes,
since even in Multi Suite mode the Kalypso system can operate with all
resources assigned to a single suite, same as for earlier Kalypso software
versions.
CAUTION While it is possible to switch between modes, hardware resets are required
and Node configuration information will be lost. if a second suite has been
configured, switching to Single Suite mode also takes all Suite 2 outputs to
black, assigns all resources to Suite 1, and gives all control surfaces,
including those in Suite 2, access to all the resources now residing in Suite 1.
A button press in another room could then change the on-air output of the
Kalypso system! Any additional control surfaces should be disconnected
from the network if for some reason you must switch to Single Suite mode.
Eng Setups Only Load Into Same Suite Mode
Eng Setup files can only be loaded into a Kalypso system running in the
same Suites mode as that Eng Setup file. This prevents the operational
problems described above. Attempts to load an Eng Setup file set to a dif-
ferent mode will abort and an
Attempt to change suite mode! message will be
displayed. Note that Eng Setup files created with versions before 8.0 are
considered Single Suite configurations, so they cannot be loaded into a
Kalypso system running in Multi Suite mode. If you must load a different
Suite Mode Eng Setup file, select the same mode before loading the file.
