Managing Kaleido-X Systems

4

2. In the 

Description/Calibrations

 tab, remove 

System A

 from the cluster, and then add it back to the 

cluster.

3. If other cluster members were unavailable when the change was made (e.g. if 

System A

 is a 

KMV-3901/3911 whose name or IP address was changed from the Densité frame’s control panel, or 
from the KMV-3901/3911 control panel in iControl, then repeat the previous steps for each.

If only the IP address was changed then no further action is required. Otherwise, if the system name 
was changed, then proceed as follows.

4. Connect to 

System A

.

5. Change something in every room (e.g. move a display and then bring it back to its initial position) to 

enable the 

Save

 button.

6. Save the room.

This will replicate the proper room configuration to the other members of the cluster. (At the same 
time, the layouts will also be updated on all multi-viewers in the cluster.)
