Step 2: Networking Setup

For the Kaleido-X16 multiviewer to join a TCP/IP network, it must be configured with an IP address, a network mask, a gateway, and a system name. In addition, a client PC must be configured to communicate with the multiviewer ( must also configure any Kaleido-RCP2, and Audio Bridge Terminal units you may have ordered.

The Kaleido-X16 is shipped with the following default settings:

System IP address 10.0.3.70

Network mask 255.255.0.0

Gateway 10.0.0.1

Note: If the IP address of the multiviewer has been changed (i.e. it no

longer corresponds to the as-shipped configuration), it is still possible to determine the current setting. To determine the IP address of your Kaleido-X16 multiviewer, see

Version, below.
