Routers & Kaleido-X
Configuring a Router Controller
So, for example, if you press a button on the external panel that is set up to make a
crosspoint change on logical router matrix ID 0, the Kaleido-X software will receive this
command, look up matrix ID 0 to find the physical router it is mapped to, and then forward
the crosspoint change to the physical router using the appropriate protocol. In such cases,
the Kaleido-X software acts as a “protocol translator” for the control panel.
