Kaleido-X (7RU)
Installation & Service Manual
4 Click Copy layout .
The last step in bringing the database up to date is to:
• reconfigure any third party devices, including external routers, that were originally
configured on Frame A (if necessary) and Frame B
• add the RCP users, resolutions and audio scales etc. that were configured on
Frame B
The procedures to be followed are the same as for any non-expansion system, and are
described in the Kaleido Software User’s Manual. See
Related Documentation , on page 15.
At this point, you should have a newly merged database loaded in XEdit in OFFLINE mode.
You can now proceed with the joining of the two Kaleido-X frames in expansion mode, as
described below.
The Merge database tool can also be used, for example, to copy layouts from a single
Kaleido-X (7RU) (or 4RU) to another.
Part 2 of 2 — Joining & Configuring Frames
To physically join and configure two EXISTING Kaleido-X frames in expansion mode
Part A — Physical Setup
1 Open an XAdmin window for each frame. Click Status and options , and check the
frame and card status to make sure there are no serious problems or critical error
conditions (the
Normal mode alarm should be green in all cases). Take note of the
Ethernet settings for each frame.
Note:
Elements are positioned with the same relative offset. To avoid
distortion in the layout, displays in the original and new rooms must have
the same characteristics (i.e., resolution, size).
TIP
One way to help with the reconfiguration process is to open a separate XEdit
window, import an old database, and use that window to view the settings,
which you can then re-enter in the new (expansion) database. Two XEdit
windows can be opened on the same PC, provided the PC has sufficient
resources to do so.
IMPORTANT
You should back up the merged and updated database.
IMPORTANT
All cards must be at Kaleido Software version 3.00 (or later) before two
frames are joined in expansion mode.
To upgrade existing frames, follow the upgrade procedure described in the
Kaleido-X Version 4.10 (or later) Release Notes. Any spare cards you may have
can be upgraded (via the Live Update feature) by hot swapping them in a
standalone Kaleido-X at version 3.00 (or later). Check the card edge LEDs to
make sure the cards are operating normally.
