Cable Connections (Terra)

Network Connection

All Kaleidescape components must be connected to the same local network to be grouped into the same system.
 

1. Ensure that any Kaleidescape Strato and/or Alto players that will be grouped with Terra are connected to a wired network and powered on.

2. Insert an Ethernet cable (Cat5e or better) into the network port on the back of the Terra server.

 

3. Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable into a 1000Base-T (Gigabit) Ethernet switch/router.

Note: When Terra is turned on, the left network port light will illuminate to indicate a successful network connection. It must be amber, indicating the connection is 1000Base-T. The light on the right blinks when there is network activity.
 

4. Connect power.​​​​​​​

5. Turn on the Terra Server using the power button. The Kaleidescape logo will illuminate white. Initialization may take several minutes.
