How to configure the Kaleido-K2 in networks including more than two units and application servers?

Miranda devices (iControl services) communicate with one another via a network. The lookup service allows the discovery of any of the devices so that they become part of the iControl community. For redundancy purposes, you may want to start a second lookup service on a local area network, but too many of these services will generate too much traffic on the network, leading to slower updates and slower operation.

At the factory, all Kaleido-K2s are configured to start a lookup service automatically. If multiple Kaleido-K2s are installed inside the same network, we recommend disabling some of the lookup services to eliminate unnecessary network traffic. We also recommend starting the lookup service on the Application server. Two lookup services within a network are enough for redundancy and network traffic.

Stopping and disabling a lookup service on a Kaleido-K2

Note: If the Kaleido-K2 is then removed from the network and operated standalone, you must restart the lookup service on the Kaleido-K2 in order to re-establish the network device recognition.
