IP Network Setup
This chapter explains how to implement IP network connectivity with the multiviewer.
Networking Essentials
The following network prerequisites must be met:
• Any multiviewer you wish to configure or access by using XEdit or XAdmin must be
connected to an Ethernet switch.
• A client workstation must be connected to the LAN or Ethernet switch to access the
multiviewer by using XAdmin or XEdit.
• The Ethernet switch must support 100 Mbps full-duplex connections. In the case of a
Kaleido-IP multiviewer, the Ethernet switch associated with the data network should
support 1000 Mbps full-duplex.
• The port on the Ethernet switch to which the multiviewer is connected should be
configured to auto-negotiate. By default, multiviewers have their Ethernet ports set to
auto-negotiate. If a switch does not support auto-negotiation, the recommended
settings are 100 Mbps, full-duplex.
Assigning an IP Address to Each Device in your System
Multiviewers and most peripheral devices that are part of a Kaleido-X system communicate
through a TCP/IP network. Configuring your system’s network parameters includes the
following:
• Assigning an IP address, and specifying the appropriate network mask, gateway
address, and a system name for each multiviewer. See Setting the Multiviewer’s IP
addresses , on page 93.
• Configuring the RCP-200, if available. See Configuring the RCP-200 , on page 138.
• Configuring the Kaleido-RCP2, if available. See Configuring the Kaleido-RCP2 , on
page 142.
• Configuring the Audio Bridge Terminal (ABT), if available. See Configuring an Audio
Bridge Terminal , on page 145.
Setting the Multiviewer’s IP addresses
For the Kaleido-X unit to join a TCP/IP network, it must be configured with an IP address, a
network mask, a gateway, and a system name. In addition, a client PC must be configured
to communicate with the Kaleido-X (see
Configuring a Client PC to Configure an ABT’s
Network Settings , on page 146).
