When logged on to a Kaleido-X16 via the RCP2’s Ethernet connection, you can control various operating
features of the Kaleido-X16.
Connections
The RCP2 is equipped with three connectors, located on the inside rear supports of the case.
Ethernet / Power Port
The power for the Kaleido-RCP2 arrives on an RJ-45 connector, and shares this connector with an Ethernet
interface. The RCP2 conforms to the IEEE 802.3af standard for powered devices.
Two kinds of power sources are supported:
• midspan power source injector into an existing Ethernet network, and
• power sourcing Ethernet switch.
Full redundancy is obtained with both supplies present at the same time.
Ethernet connectivity is 10/100 Mbps.
2 USB Ports
These ports are used to connect a mouse and keyboard, which may be used in operating the Kaleido-X16.
Note: Multi-function keyboards or numeric keypads that have a built-in USB hub do not work
when connected to the RCP2. No other device than a mouse, a numeric keypad without USB hub,
a keyboard without USB hub or special function keys can be connected to the RCP2.
