How to display Alarms on the Kaleido-K2 from other Miranda devices through iControl?

The first step is to find the "Miranda Long ID" associated with each Miranda device from which you want to receive status. You can achieve this either by using iNavigator or, if you don't have access to iNavigator, via the log generated by the Kaleido. Then you can create an alias for this ID that is easier to recall and enter than the ID itself. This step is not necessary but it could be useful if you must create many Alarms with this ID. Then you can create your Alarms and finally export the Layout and Alarms to the targeted Kaleido-K2.

Getting the Miranda Long ID using iNavigator

Start your iNavigator. Use iNavigator to locate the device on the network (please refer to the iNavigator manual for more details). Note the device's address (something like anipaddress_com9_somethingagain).

Creating an Alias for the Miranda Long ID

After you collected the device's ID you can decide to create an alias, which is a "nickname" you could use while configuring Alarms, or to configure the Alarms right away. Here are the steps to create an alias. If you prefer to use the Miranda Long ID you can skip this section.

Creating and using a Layout using Alarms for the device

Back in your Layout, identify a Component to display the Alarm's status. Let's say you add a "General Status Indicator" to display the Alarm's status:

If you're not in online mode (that is if you have not opened the Layout you are editing via the "Open" and "Online" option) you must apply your Layout online on the Kaleido-K2 in order to test what you just did. To do so:

You are now ready to test your Alarm. Don't forget to save the Layout as a Preset Layout if you want to be able to retrieve it at a later time.
