Kalypso — User Manual

Section 3 — System Operation

to, for example, modify the suite or user preferences for a control surface
lacking a menu application, like a 1 M/E Main panel.

EIC login also permits the manual reallocation of resources from any loca-
tion. For example, suppose one suite acquired resources for a session, fin-
ished work, and was abandoned without releasing those resources. The
EIC can login to that suite using a panel located in the other suite and
release the needed resources. After logging back into the original suite, he
can then acquire and use those released resources.

Logging off and back on restores the menu to its normally specified control
surface.

Enhanced Network Security

Even if your Kalypso system does not have multiple panels arranged in
two suites, you may wish to operate your system in Multi Suite mode for
enhanced network security.

In Single Suite mode, any PC on the Kalypso network running the Kalypso
Menu application can connect to the Kalypso Video Processor frame and
controls its operation remotely. Obviously this can compromise on-air
operations.

In Multi Suite mode, only devices with IP addresses set in the Suite Defini-
tion menu are allowed to control its assigned part of the Kalypso system.
By default all resources are assigned to Suite 1, so this suite should be spec-
ified for all Kalypso nodes.
