KUMO SDI Routers and Control Panels v4.7r1 12 www.aja.com
Plan adequate space for cable routing from the back of the router chassis. Ensure
that SDI video cable connectors will not be stressed and that cables are not bent
or crimped in the process.
Cooling Requirements
When rack mounting or stacking multiple KUMO chassis, ensure there is adequate
airspace for cooling around the KUMO units. Note the location of cooling vents on
all equipment next to the KUMO and ensure none are obstructed.
Power Requirements
• Input Voltage: 110-240VAC, 50/60Hz
• 60W or 84W AC adapter provided
• Optional redundant power supply
Caution! KUMO is designed to take advantage of its chassis to aid in cooling. It is
common and expected for the densely populated chassis to have a warm front
panel in normal, active operating conditions.
Warning! Do not open the chassis. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Opening the chassis will void the warranty unless performed by an AJA service
center or licensed facility. Remove the brick power supply AC line cord(s) from
mains power when moving the unit
Physical Equipment Setup
1. Connect power supplies (1 or 2 for redundancy) to KUMO routers and
control panels.
NOTE: The KUMO 6464-12G router requires an 84W power supply (KUMO-84W-PWR).
All other KUMO routers and control panels can use a 60W power supply (KUMO-
PWR).
2. Connect Source and Destination SDI equipment (this step can be deferred).
3. Connect network:
• Direct Connection: connect a KUMO router to a KUMO CP (if used), or to a
Mac or PC, via an Ethernet Cable.
• LAN Connection: connect a KUMO router (and a KUMO CP if used) to a hub
or switch and connect a PC or Mac to the same LAN via a hub or switch.
NOTE: KUMO devices are compatible with both Cat 5 straight-through and cross-over
Ethernet cables—they automatically detect whichever is used.
4. Proceed to your desired network configuration method using one of the
procedures presented later in the chapter.
Quick Start Configuration
Default Auto Configure KUMO Router and Control Panel
If you purchased a KUMO control panel along with a KUMO router, the easiest
way to get your system operating is to simply direct connect them with a single
Ethernet cable and power up both units.
