12.2 Remote Operation of the Kaleido-K2 via the Gateway

Kaleido-K2 can execute XML commands received via the either the internal gateway (preferred) or the MT-gateway (deprecated). In an environment containing many Kaleido-K2s, there is a Gateway running on each Kaleido-K2. Remember that in such an environment you should configure your system to have at the most two lookups running (please refer to the "How to configure the Kaleido-K2 in systems including more than two units and application servers?" section of the documentation).

Commands are sent to the Gateway via TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), so you can use a Terminal Emulation (telnet) program or create your own application using the language of your choice (C++, Visual Basic, Java, ...). A small application is provided as an example. In this section, the use of "HyperTerminal" software will be described. "Hyperterminal" is a Windows application that is typically installed on every Windows computer, you will find it under the "Program" - "Accessories" - "Communications" menu. This program will communicate with the machine on which the Gateway is running using communications port 13000.

NOTE - each XML command sent to a Kaleido-K2 must be followed by either of these two characters:
