System Requirements for a Client PC
A client PC running Windows XP (or Windows 7) is required to access the XAdmin Web
client, as well as to run the XEdit application.
Step 1: Physical Setup
Setting up the Kaleido-X (4RU) Hardware
To set up the Kaleido-X (4RU) hardware
1 With the Kaleido-X (4RU) frame (enclosure) installed in its designated rack position, and
before powering up the unit, verify that each card is securely seated in its slot.
The Kaleido-X has been configured to automatically detect the resolution of any
connected display. If the required information is not available, then a fall-back
resolution of 1280 × 1024 @ 60 Hz is used.
2 Connect outputs of the Kaleido-X to one or more displays that support this resolution,
and connect one or more video sources to the frame (see Cabling Diagram , on page 6).
If you wish to use a different resolution, see Changing the Output Resolution , below, for
detailed instructions.
3 Make the network and other connections as shown in the cabling diagram. Connect a
client PC, the Kaleido-RCP2, one or more Audio Bridge Terminals, and every output
module to a dedicated 100Base-T Ethernet switch. You can also connect a mouse and a
keyboard to your Kaleido-RCP2.
