Kaleidescape Premiere Line Installation Guide
Physical Installation
A Gigabit network is suggested for all Premiere systems, and required if Blu-
ray quality movies are played in more than one room at the same time.
Kaleidescape recommends using a checklist for connections to expedite the
installation process. For a sample checklist, see Appendix D
Below are two basic network configurations.
Note:
If the existing switch has too few ports, or Ethernet cable lengths to the
switch exceed 328 ft (100 m), add an extra switch to the network. Do NOT
substitute a router. Connect additional switches to the switch. Do NOT use
the router to connect two switches or bandwidth suffers.
Note:
Components in the Premiere line are accessed through a computer
browser interface, which MUST be on the same IP subnet. A second router
creates an additional subnet and prevents communication.
