Routers & Kaleido-X

Router Configuration Scenarios
Controlling an external router:
1. An operator chooses a router command from the shortcut menu on the monitor wall (e.g. “switch
output 2 of external router A to QC monitor”).
2. The Kaleido-X software detects the command, and sends it to the designated router over a serial or
TCP/IP connection, using the appropriate router protocol.
3. The router receives the command and executes a crosspoint switch, either changing the signal on one
of its connections to a Kaleido-X KXI card, or…
4. …sending the signal to another device (e.g. vector scope, QC monitor, ISO recorder).
5. In the same way, commands from the shortcut menu on the monitor wall can also change crosspoints
on the Kaleido-X internal router.
