Kaleido-X (14RU) Expansion Introduction Two Kaleido-X frames connected by KXO-EXP expansion cards offer the following advantages: • Larger systems can be configured, with any source directed anywhere. • Sources can be shared between frames. The diagram below illustrates the types of inputs and outputs that can be shared between two Kaleido-X frames via their expansion cards.
Kaleido-X (7RU) Hardware Description & Installation Manual The table below summarizes the expansion-related key concepts. Definitions Kaleido-X (14RU) expansion frame Refers to two Kaleido-X (7RU) frames operating in Expansion Mode (see below). Master frame When two Kaleido-X frames are interconnected, one is designated as Frame A and the other as Frame B. The setting is determined by a physical switch on the rear panel of the expansion card in each frame.
Kaleido-X (14RU) Expansion KXO-EXP-F • KXO-EXP-F—the front panel (see KXO-EXP-F, on page 38) • KXO-EXP-R—the rear panel (see KXO-EXP-R, on page 40) When inserted in their corresponding slots, the panels meet at the frame’s internal midplane, which enables the KXO-EXP card to communicate with the other cards in the Kaleido-X frame. External connections to the KXO-EXP card are made through connectors that are found on the card’s rear panel and on the front card edge.
Kaleido-X (7RU) Hardware Description & Installation Manual Front Card-Edge Connectors The front card-edge connectors are not accessible in normal use, as they are covered by the front door of the frame. They are provided for maintenance purposes, or for special circumstances.
Kaleido-X (14RU) Expansion KXO-EXP-R KXO-EXP-R The front panel (KXO-EXP-F) is complemented by a rear panel that provides all input and output connectors associated with the card.
Kaleido-X (7RU) Hardware Description & Installation Manual IP address for the system Expansion mode is enabled IP addresses for output cards in Frame A IP addresses for output cards in Frame B Expansion system configuration example XEdit Two frames in an expanded system are presented in the XEdit hierarchical System list as shown below.
Kaleido-X (14RU) Expansion Software In the Interconnects tab, an expansion frame is depicted by an icon labelled Kaleido-X (14RU). When two frames are joined, the default names for all available inputs are formed by concatenating the frame name, the input card, and the video number. For example, the logical source “/Frame A/Input C/Channel 01” corresponds to the first video input on KXI card C on Kaleido-X Frame A.
Kaleido-X (7RU) Hardware Description & Installation Manual SNMP Two frames in expansion mode are represented in the Kaleido-X MIB as one frame containing all cards from both systems. Overall status entries (kxFrameStatus, kxFanStatus, kxPowerSupplyStatus) represent the overall status of both frames. An expansion system malfunction is reported as a trap, with reference to the kxSlotTrap table. Status details for specific card alarms can be obtained from XAdmin’s Status and Options page.
Kaleido-X (14RU) Expansion Installation Installation When two Kaleido-X frames are to be connected in an expansion configuration, it is important to consider whether the frames are new, or have already been commissioned. There are three possible combinations: • NEW: two new Kaleido-X frames (see Expanding NEW Kaleido-X Frames, below). • EXISTING: two previously commissioned Kaleido-X frames (see Expanding EXISTING Kaleido-X Frames, on page 50).
Kaleido-X (7RU) Hardware Description & Installation Manual 5 Gently but firmly, slide one expansion card into the slot labelled OUTPUT D / EXP of the Kaleido-X that will be designated Frame A. Note: Be careful to install the KXO-EXP-R rear panel in the matching location at the rear of the frame. The KXO-EXP-F card and its rear panel can be installed in any order. See Card Installation and Replacement on page 14 for more information. IMPORTANT Make sure that there is a KXO card in Slot C of Frame A.
Kaleido-X (14RU) Expansion Expanding NEW Kaleido-X Frames Alarms may appear in the dashboard (see below), and, in some cases, you may see blinking LEDs on the KXO cards in Frame B. This is normal. 11 Wait 5 minutes (this allows some important internal processing to take place), and then continue with the procedure1 as described in Part B — XAdmin Settings below. Frame B will not boot completely at this stage. This is normal.
Kaleido-X (7RU) Hardware Description & Installation Manual The Output D/EXP IP address is replaced with new lines for the IP addresses of Frame B’s Output A, B, and C cards. 3 If necessary, change the System name and Frame IP address (which will apply to both frames once they are in joined in expansion mode). 4 Enter the IP addresses currently used by Frame B’s Output A, B, and C cards. 5 Click Save, and then click Apply settings in the sidebar. Frame A and Frame B should reboot automatically.
Kaleido-X (14RU) Expansion Expanding NEW Kaleido-X Frames 9 Check the frame and card statuses to make sure there are no problems or error conditions. In particular, the Cable crossed and Cable plugged alarms on the KXO-EXP cards should be normal (green). Part C — XEdit Settings 1 Open XEdit. 2 When the Database Location window appears, click Browse. 3 Right-click in the browse window, and create a new folder (if New Folder is not available, change the Look In location, and then try again). 4 Click OK.
Kaleido-X (7RU) Hardware Description & Installation Manual With the factory defaults loaded, you can start using your Kaleido-X expansion system and its default rooms and layouts (you may see some warnings on the monitor wall about layout/room assignments).
Kaleido-X (14RU) Expansion Expanding EXISTING Kaleido-X Frames Expanding EXISTING Kaleido-X Frames There are two procedures that must completed to join two previously commissioned (standalone) Kaleido-X frames in expansion mode: • Merge the databases of the two standalone frames (see Part 1 of 2 — Merging Databases below). • Physically join and configure the frames (see Part 2 of 2 — Joining & Configuring Frames, on page 59).
Kaleido-X (7RU) Hardware Description & Installation Manual 5 Create a backup of the Frame A database. At this point, you have backed up the two single-frame databases—these are important, as they can be used (a) as a reference when re-creating settings not carried over during the merge, and (b) to split an expansion system back into two independent frames. In the following steps, you will convert the currently loaded database (Frame A) into what will become the database for the entire expansion frame.
Kaleido-X (14RU) Expansion Expanding EXISTING Kaleido-X Frames IMPORTANT When prompted to restore factory default settings, click No. Kaleido-X (7RU) is replaced by a Kaleido-X (14RU) in the System list. Note: When the system is replaced, some settings are lost: input/output cards, external routers, and third party devices. You will have to restore these settings manually, as indicated in the steps below.
Kaleido-X (7RU) Hardware Description & Installation Manual Choosing Frame B will cause incoming data (from the ZIP file) to be identified as belonging to Frame B. If you choose FRAME A, then the URIs (for logical sources, etc.) will not be modified to reference to Frame B. 14 Select Frame B, and then click OK to begin merging the incoming database (Frame B) into the currently loaded one (Frame A). 15 A window shows the progress of the database merge.
