Configuration Guidelines

Large Kaleido-X System

• When iControl is connected to a large Kaleido system, using the Kaleido-X SNMP plug-in to

retrieve alarms may cause system performance issues as well as an Out of Memory error.

Workaround:

When attempting to retrieve multiviewer alarms, you should use the

remote multiviewer GSM logging functionality on the Kaleido-X.

Multiple Application Servers and Kaleido-K2

• When iControl and Kaleido-K2 run on the same subnet, the Kaleido-K2 lookup servers

must be disabled. The Kaleido-K2 will use the iControl Application Server lookups. Refer to

the iControl User Guide and the Kaleido-K2 User Guide for further details.

Multiple Router Manager Services

• If multiple Router Manager services must run on multiple Application Servers within the

same subnet, make sure all Router Manager service names are different. To change a

Router Manager service name, open the associated control panel from iControl Navigator.

Miranda Imaging Frames (Symphonie or Quartet)

• A maximum of four frames should be connected per RS-422 communication port.

• When critical on-air equipment is controlled (e.g. incoming feeds), proc amp adjustments

use a maximum of two frames per RS-422 communication port.

• When using Symphonie frames that are fully loaded with XVP-801/811 and/or DAP-781,

use a maximum of one frame per RS-422 communication port.

• Do not mix Symphonie and Quartet 1 frames on the same RS-422 daisy chain. It is possible

to mix Symphonie and Quartet 2 frames on the same RS-422 daisy chain. The Quartet 2 will

introduce a delay.

• The maximum number of Imaging cards that can be controlled by an Application Server

is 200, provided sufficient physical memory is available (1 GB RAM or more depending on

other services). If more cards are to be controlled, they must be distributed on multiple

Application Servers.

• Connecting Symphonie frames live to the Imaging communicator will require the

communicator to be restarted. Failing to do so will cause cards associated to the frames to

appear incorrectly.

Miranda Densité Frames

• The maximum number of Densité cards (with no streaming capabilities) that can be

controlled by a single Application Server is approximately 400, provided sufficient physical

memory is available (1 GB RAM or more depending on other services).
