12.1 Gateway Options
Two Gateways are available for use with Kaleido-K2:
NOTE: The Internal Gateway is the preferred gateway, and Miranda strongly recommends that it be used instead of the MT-Gateway, as it is more robust. The MT-Gateway might be used for legacy applications (the Internal gateway was not available in early versions of the software) or in specific situations based on design considerations, but its use is deprecated.
It is important to note that only one gateway can be operating at a time, and the user must manage the gateway resources to ensure that this is the case.
12.1.1 Internal Gateway
The internal gateway is implemented in the Kaleido software itself, and is therefore internal to and exclusively functional with a specific Kaleido.
The internal gateway is configured through the Kaleido Properties File, and is turned on or off by editing that file. Here is how to do it:
- From your Kaleido-K2's desktop, double click on the icon "My Computer".
- Navigate to "C:\iControl\Startup\" and open the file "Kaleido.properties" using the Notepad (right click on the "Kaleido.properties" file and select "Notepad" from the "Open With" menu).
- Search the file for either of the following lines:
activateInternalGateway=TRUEactivateInternalGateway=FALSE- If activateInternalGateway is TRUE, the internal gateway is ON by default at startup. Disable the internal gateway at startup by replacing TRUE with FALSE in this line.
- If activateInternalGateway is FALSE, the internal gateway is OFF by default at startup. Enable the internal gateway at startup by replacing FALSE with TRUE in this line.
- Save your changes using the Save item in the File menu.
- Close the Notepad editor.
- Restart the Kaleido-K2.
The internal gateway supports all Kaleido/Gateway commands when connected via port 13000, and supports only the <listnodes\> command when connected via port 10001.
12.1.2 MT-Gateway
The MT-Gateway is shipped with current versions of the Kaleido-K2 in support of legacy applications, but its use is not recommended.
As the MT-Gateway must not be running when you are using the internal gateway, verify that it is turned off as follows:
- On the Kaleido-K2 machine, display the desktop (use the desktop icon on the menu bar).
- Double click on the "Services" icon. A dialog containing the services will appear. You can see if the MT-Gateway service is running, and whether it is configured to start automatically when the Kaleido-K2 is booted.
- Right-click on MT_Gateway and choose Properties
- Choose Manual as the Startup type, and click on OK.
- Click the "Stop Service" icon on the toolbar to turn the gateway off
