Configuring an Audio Bridge Terminal
The optional Audio Bridge Terminal (ABT) is an external audio multiplexer/serializer for the Kaleido-X. The
Kaleido-X supports up to 128 inputs, and all of the video input connectors are located on the rear panels
associated with the KXI-series of cards.
There is not enough space on the rear panels to also include the audio connectors. The ABT provides
connector space for the audio signal inputs, and multiplexes all the audio signals into combined serial
feeds on coaxial cables that connect to the KXI cards.
Note: The ABT is powered through the RJ-45 ethernet connector. There is no power ON/OFF button, so the
device is ON when a powered ethernet cable is connected.
To configure the IP address and other network settings of the ABT, do the following:
1. Connect a PC to a hub or switch.
2. Referring to “Configuring a Client PC” on page 10, configure the PC with the following network
settings:
DHCP = OFF
Static IP address = 10.0.0.1
Subnet mask = 255.255.0.0
Default gateway = 10.0.0.1
3. Apply power to the Audio Bridge Terminal and make sure it is connected to the same hub or switch as
the PC. If the hub or switch is Power over Ethernet (PoE) enabled, simply connect it to the unit using an
