KMV-3901/KMV-3911
Step-by-Step Configuration
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
of its update process, you can start updating the next multiviewer without waiting for the
restart to be completed.
To upgrade a cascade system:
1 Copy the upgrade package files to a USB key (see
2 Load an empty layout on the monitor wall, or make sure that the bottom area of the
current layout is empty.
3 Insert the USB key into any of the USB ports on the first multiviewer.
After a while, a message appears at the bottom left corner of the monitor wall,
reporting that the Upgrade Manager is verifying software, firmware, and safe mode
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.
IMPORTANT
Canceling a cascade upgrade is not supported.
The current version of the Kaleido Software does not fully support
dashboard interaction in the context of a cascade system. Therefore, you
may not be able to cancel the upgrade process, once you have inserted the
USB key. Do not insert the USB key unless you really want to update your
system. When you prepare the USB key, you may select the
Total update (no
prompt)
option to avoid the 30-second delay after the verification process
(see
below).
