How to configure the Layout to use Quality Control Monitors on the Kaleido-K2?

The Quality Control Monitor uses the capability of the Kaleido-K2 to control an external router. To be able to do so you should have a Router supported by Miranda (contact your Miranda dealer to find out which routers are currently supported).

You first need to install the Router Control Software to be able to control your router. Typically the software is installed on an External computer, and the Router is connected to this computer using a serial port. Please see the Router Control user's manual for more information on how to install and configure your Router Control software.

Once you have your Router Control software installed and configured, you will need to configure the Kaleido-K2 to be able to deal with your router. Each configured router has a Miranda Long ID that enables us to identify that device on the network. You will first need to retrieve this Long ID, then create an alias for it, and finally configure the Router Reference Table that identifies the physical connections between the Kaleido and the Router. When you've done configuring your setup, you can configure your monitors to be in Quality Control mode.

If you already have your Kaleido configured to control a router, you can skip the following section and go directly to the section "Configuring the Monitors to be in Quality Control mode."

Getting the Router's Long ID

Creating an Alias for the Router's Long ID

After finding the router's ID you can create an alias, which is a "nickname" you could use while configuring your Kaleido. Here are the steps to create an alias. If you prefer to use the router's Long ID you can skip this section, but we highly recommend you to use the alias.

Example of a KG2Config.xml:

Configuring the Router Reference Table

It is now time to configure the physical connection between the Kaleido and the Router.

Once you have configured your Router Reference Table, your Kaleido-K2 can control your router. It is now time to configure the monitors for the Quality Control mode.

Configuring the Monitors to be in Quality Control mode.

To configure a Monitor to be a Quality Control Monitor, follow these steps:

You can repeat these steps for each monitor you want to configure for Quality Control.

Once at least one monitor has been configured to be a Quality Control Monitor, you can operate the Kaleido-K2. To do so:
