servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing should be done in a static-free
environment.
• This unit may have more than one power supply cord. Disconnect all power supply
cords before servicing to avoid electric shock.
• Follow static precautions at all times when handling this equipment.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection
Electrostatic discharge occurs when electronic components are improperly
handled and can result in intermittent failure or complete damage adversely
affecting an electrical circuit. When you remove and replace any card from a frame
always follow ESD-prevention procedures:
• Ensure that the frame is electrically connected to earth ground through the power cord
or any other means if available.
• Wear an ESD wrist strap ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the
grounding clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely ground unwanted
ESD voltages. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the unpainted
metal part of the chassis.
• For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should
be between 1 and 10 megohms.
• When temporarily storing a card make sure it is placed in an ESD bag.
• Cards in an earth grounded metal frame or casing do not require any special ESD
protection.
Cautions for LCD and TFT Displays
Excessive usage may harm your vision. Rest for 10 minutes for every 30 minutes of
usage.
If the LCD or TFT glass is broken, handle glass fragments with care when disposing
of them. If any fluid leaks out of a damaged glass cell, be careful not to get the liquid crystal
fluid in your mouth or skin. If the liquid crystal touches your skin or clothes, wash it off
immediately using soap and water. Never swallow the fluid. The toxicity is extremely low
but caution should be exercised at all times.

Kaleido-RCP2
Guide to Installation and Operation
Configuration
Before you can use your Kaleido-RCP2 to operate your Kaleido system, you must set up the
Ethernet connection between the two devices.
Ethernet Configuration
By default, the Kaleido-RCP2 is shipped with DHCP enabled, so it will automatically be
assigned an IP address by a DHCP server.
• If no DHCP server can be found, the Kaleido-RCP2 will default to its static IP address.
• The time-out period before the Kaleido-RCP2 defaults to its static address is about 1
minute. To speed up the initialization, disable the DHCP option (see Enabling or
Disabling DHCP, on page 7).
• The default static IP address is 10.0.3.191, but this can be changed (see Setting an IP
Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway, on page 8).
• If you need to operate with a fixed IP address, you must use the Configuration menu to
disable DHCP and set up the correct IP address, Network Mask and Gateway.
• To access Kaleido rooms located in other subnets, the Kaleido-RCP2 must be configured
with the appropriate unicast IP addresses (see Configuring Unicast IP Addresses, on
page 9).
Room Selection
Before you can use your Kaleido-RCP2 to operate a Kaleido multiviewer system, you must
select the room in which to operate. Use the Configuration menu to access the list of
available rooms and select the one you wish to control. See Selecting a Position and
Logging On on page 14 for details.
Navigating the Configuration Menu
Resources for setting up the Kaleido-RCP2 to operate multiviewers are available through
the Kaleido-RCP2’s Configuration menu. The current menu selection is shown on the LCD
Note: The Kaleido-RCP2 is powered through the RJ-45 Ethernet connector.
There is no power ON/OFF button, so the device is ON when a powered
Ethernet cable is connected.
Note: To log on to a room that is part of a Kaleido system configured in a
different subnet, the Kaleido-RCP2 must be configured with the
appropriate unicast IP addresses (see Configuring Unicast IP Addresses, on
page 9).
