convenient access to the real-time operating features of the Kaleido-X. When logged on to a Kaleido-X via
its Ethernet connection, the RCP2 user can control various operating features of the Kaleido-X.
Before you can use the RCP2 to operate your Kaleido-X, you must set up the Ethernet connection between
the two devices. By default, the Kaleido-RCP2 is shipped with DHCP enabled, so it will automatically be
assigned an IP address by a DHCP server. If no DHCP server is present on the network, the Kaleido-RCP2 will
default to the static IP address 10.0.3.191.
Notes
• The Kaleido-RCP2 is powered through the RJ-45 Ethernet connector. There is no power ON/OFF button,
so the device is ON whenever a powered Ethernet cable is connected.
• If you purchased more than one Kaleido-RCP2 units, keep in mind that they all ship with the same
default static IP address. Make sure to assign them different static IP addresses before connecting them
to the network if DHCP is not used.
• The time-out period before the RCP2 defaults to its static address is 1 minute. To speed up the
initialization, disable the DHCP option.
To assign a static IP address to the RCP2, do the following:
1. Press and hold the ENTER key on the RCP2 for 8 seconds to display the configuration menu.
2. Press the 8 key (to move down the list) until ETHERNET OPTIONS appears on the RCP2 LCD display.
3. Press the ENTER key to display the ETHERNET OPTIONS menu.
4. Select the IP ADDRESS menu using the 2 key (to move up in the list) or the 8 key (to move down the
list), then press ENTER.

6. Select the NETWORK MASK menu using the 2 key (to move up in the list) or the 8 key (to move down
the list), then press ENTER.
