Pearl-2 User Guide Reassign a registered resource
This works well when you want to change the encoder in a room but retain all the existing schedules and
recordings that are associated with the encoder for that room.
Alternatively, you can avoid having to register the replacement Pearl-2 with Kaltura. If you apply a
configuration preset to set up the replacement Pearl-2 with the settings from the currently registered Pearl-2,
the replacement Pearl-2 assumes the identity of the registered resource. For more information about
configuration presets, see About configuration presets.
Using a configuration preset can result in two Pearl-2 resources with the same identity, which can
effect recording and the content that's uploaded to Kaltura for scheduled events. Power down,
disconnect from the network, and consider performing a factory reset on one of the Pearl-2
resources to remove the possibility of having duplicate resources.
You can also use this procedure if you've performed a factory reset, which resulted in an orphaned Kaltura
resource registration and you need to reregister your Pearl-2 using the same resource name to take over the
resource instance that is still registered in Kaltura.
Before you begin, you should already have:
l A Kaltura instance created
l Access to the Kaltura Management Console (KMC)
l Your Kaltura partner ID
l Your Kaltura administrator secret
l Your Kaltura user ID
To enable Pearl-2 as a resource and register with an existing resource name using the Admin panel:
1. Login to the Admin panel as admin, see Connect to the Admin panel.
2. From the Configuration menu, click CMS. The Content management system configuration menu
opens.
