Setting Up Your Kaleido-MX Multiviewer

Networking Setup

5 When the display shows the desired value, press SEL repeatedly until you reach the last 

position (if needed), and then press SEL once more to save your changes and return to 
the previous menu level.

NETMASK EDIT appears on the display.

6 Once you have set the network mask, press the [–] button.

DEFAULT GW EDIT appears on the display.

7 Repeat 

step 4

 and 

step 5

 to configure the gateway.

8 Once you have configured the gateway and navigated back to the previous menu level, 

press the [–] button again.

LINK MODE EDIT appears on the display.

9 Press the SEL button.

10 The current link mode appears on the display.

11 If your network's mode of operation requires you to change the link mode, press the [+] 

and [–] buttons to navigate to the suitable option (100 Mbps half-duplex, or 100Mbps 
full-duplex), and then press SEL to apply the value shown on the display.

The selected link mode is applied.

12 Press ESC to return to the previous level in the local control menu.

LINK MODE EDIT appears again on the display.

13 Press the [–] button.

OUTPUT A IP EDIT appears on the display.

14 Repeat 

step 4

 and 

step 5

 to configure the IP address for Output A.

15 Once you have set the IP address for Output A, press the Select button 

on the front edge 

of the output card

 to exit the control menu.

After a moment, the card restarts. The startup sequence takes approximately four 
minutes, during which time the Status LED is first red and then blinking orange.

Note:

Pressing ESC when the input focus is in the first position returns to 

the previous menu level. Pressing SEL when the input focus is in the last 
position saves the changes and returns to the previous menu level.

Note:

On all Kaleido multiviewers, the network adapters are set to auto-

negotiate. By default, the connection speed and duplex mode will be set 
automatically based on the corresponding port settings on the switch.

Notes 

• If you do not press any button on the Densité frame local control panel, the 

Densité controller will revert to its normal standby mode, and the selected 
card's Status LED will revert to its normal operating mode, after 30 
seconds.

• If you changed a parameter from the card’s control menu, but have not 

applied your change (you did not press the SEL button on the local control 
panel), once the 30-second timeout has occurred, the parameters will be 
confirmed as if you had pressed the SEL button.
