Release Notes
layout, make sure to terminate XEdit’s connection to the Kaleido-IP once configuration
tasks are completed.
Clusters
• If you change the system name or IP address of a cluster member while another cluster
member is offline or otherwise unavailable, the cluster’s integrity will be broken. If you
attempt to make such a change, XEdit will alert you of the situation, prompting you to
cancel the operation and try again later, when all cluster members are available.
However, in the advent that such a change was made by mistake, or that is had to be
forced for some reason, you will have to repair the broken cluster (see “Repairing a
Cluster System” in the Kaleido-X User’s Manual).
• Changing the system name or IP address of a KMV-3901/3911 multiviewer associated
with a cluster, by using the card’s control panel on the Densité housing frame, or by
using the KMV-3901/3911 control panel in iControl, is not supported.
• To maintain the integrity of a cluster configuration, such changes must be made by
using the system configuration features available in XAdmin, or from the monitor wall
menu (which, in the case of a cascade system, is currently not supported).
iControl
• Alarm latching: As of version 6.60 of the Kaleido-X software, multiviewer GSMs have
their acknowledgement snooze duration set to 0
ms, by default. If you have set a non-
default value for the acknowledgement snooze duration in the past, you may want to
verify whether it is appropriate for your current purposes:
1 In the GSM alarm browser, click the Admin tab, and then click Configuration on the
second-level tab bar.
2 Review the value indicated for Acknowledgement snooze duration.
3 Set it to 0 ms if needed, and then click Save.
Upgrading
IMPORTANT
Before changing the system name or IP address of a multiviewer
associated with a cluster, review the following.
IMPORTANT
Cluster and cascade systems
All multiviewers that are part of a cluster or cascade system must have the
same Kaleido-X software version.
Cluster backups you create with version 6.50 (or later), cannot be restored by
using an earlier version of XEdit. Miranda recommends you make a backup
of the individual databases for every cluster member, before upgrading from
a pre-6.50 version, to version 6.50 or later.
