Miranda Kaleido IP X310

This connector supports the Miranda Kaleido IP X310. This is an IP video multiviewer that is used to monitor and view local/remote IP multicast streams. By means of SNMP and serial communication, information is gathered and loaded into the connector. After a configuration file (.xls/.xlsx) is supplied, a DataMiner element will keep track of the provisioned services. If enabled on the device, SNMP traps will be used to update the hardware status more efficiently.

Configuration

Connections

To create a new element, several ports will need to be configured. Most of the values are filled in by default, except for the IP address.

SNMP connections

This connector uses Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) connections and requires the following input during element creation:

SNMP CONNECTION (KaleidoK3):

IP address/host: The polling IP of the device, e.g., 127.0.0.1.

SNMP Settings:

Port number: The port of the connected device, by default 161.
Get community string: The community string used when reading values from the device. The default value is public.
Set community string: The community string used when setting values on the device. The default value is private.

BASEBOARD:

IP address/host

BASEBOARD Settings:

Port number: The port of the connected device, by default 1161.
Get community string: The community string used when reading values from the device. The default value is public.
Set community string: The community string used when setting values on the device. The default value is private.

GSMALARM:

IP address/host

GSMALARM Settings:

Port number: The port of the connected device, by default 2161.
Get community string: The community string used when reading values from the device. The default value is public.
Set community string: The community string used when setting values on the device. The default value is private.

Serial connection

This connector uses a serial connection and requires the following input during element creation:

SERIAL CONNECTION:

IP address/host: The polling IP of the device, e.g., 127.0.0.1.
IP port: The port of the connected device, by default 13000.
Timeout time: The timeout of a single command in ms, by default 10000.

Configuration

To load the services that need to be monitored, an Excel file is required with a fixed format. Go to the General page and open the pop-up page Load File. Then specify the File Path and File Name of the Excel file, and finally click Import.

IMPORTANT: This connector interacts with Excel files via the Microsoft OLE DB API. To be able to communicate with Excel files, make sure the Microsoft Access Runtime database tool is installed before you use this connector.

The Excel file should be filled in as explained in the Usage > General section below.

Finally, go to the Alarm Table page and enable the alarm table polling if necessary.

Usage

General

This page displays basic information about the device. The channel and layout can also be set here.

The page also contains two page buttons:

Load File: Opens the configuration file import window.

To load the services that need to be monitored, an Excel file is required with a fixed format (.xls or .xlsx). Go to the General page and open the pop-up page Load File. Then specify the File Path and File Name of the file, and finally click Import.

The Excel file should contain columns with the following headers (example values refer to the image below):

Input ref ID: You can take this from the Program Number. For example, in this case, for Stream 6, it is 221.

Input Service Name: You can take this from the Source Info: Name. For example, in this case, for Stream 5, it is "OSN Sports 4".

Input mon device: The name of the device, which must equal the element's name. This way, one file can be used to configure any element.

Input mon device port: A unique port number (used as index).

Program number: This must be the same as the Input Ref ID.

Multicast: You can take this from the Multicast IP.

UDP Port: You can take this from the UDP Port.

Output Service name: Take this from the Kaleido configuration. If you cannot find this information, leave this the same as the Input Service Name.

Source Friendly Name: Take this from the Stream Name. Replace each whitespace by a "+". Range 1.0.1.x only.

Finally, go to the Alarm Table page and enable the alarm table polling if necessary. By default, the connector should enable alarm monitoring for the necessary parameters.

Note: The Transport Stream, Services, Teletext, and Card Health tables are filled in based on the imported Excel file, located in the folder indicated by the File Path parameter or in the element document folder. After these are filled in, the data is polled.

On-Air Services: Opens a window where you can edit the on-air service times.

Transport Stream

This page displays an overview of the transport streams, including status, TSID, and an indication of whether the underlying services are on air.

Services

This page displays all the services as specified in the configuration file. For each service, the alarm values are filled in in the columns, with the on-air status at the end. To prevent an overload of possibly irrelevant data, not all possible alarm values are displayed.

Teletext

This page displays the Teletext Information Table. This table contains the teletext alarm values, which have been separated from the services table.

Card Health

This page displays another subset of the alarm table, with hardware information about the cards of the device.
