ETC Eos Titanium, Eos, and Gio v2.0.0 - Manual (Page 408)

390 Eos Titanium, Eos, and Gio Operations Manual
• User - A user is an Eos defined by a user ID. If it has a unique user ID, the Eos will operate
separate from other Eos devices on the network, but still track show data. If it shares a user
ID, Eos will synchronize with like IDs. See
User ID and multi-console features, page 392 .
• System - One primary Eos, one backup Eos, and (if available) multiple clients synchronized
together.
• Mirror Mode - A mode for mirroring the displays of another device. See “Mirror Mode” on
page 397.
Multi-console setup
When using multiple Eos consoles on the network, you should adjust some of the settings of your
Eos devices to ensure optimal functionality.
Additional requirements for multi-console setup include:
• Software versions must match exactly between all devices.
• The language settings in the ECU must match. See “Language” on page 366.
• The keyboard language setting in the ECU must match. See “Keyboard” on page 367.
Designate Primary
By default, all Eos devices will boot as a primary. When using multiple Eos devices on the network,
only one should be designated as a primary. Other Eos devices should be configured as the backup
(only one per system) or clients. There can be a maximum of 12 Eos devices connected to a
master.
To change this setting, you must exit the Eos software (Browser>File>Exit Eos) and then
designate the Eos device as primary, backup, or client as described in the ECU appendix (see
Starting Screen, page 364 ).
DHCP Server
DHCP server supplies IP addresses to network devices. Only one Eos device [typically the Primary]
on the network is necessary to do this properly. Therefore you should disable the DHCP server on
all Eos devices except for the intended primary.
To disable the DHCP server on your Eos device see Local Area Connection/ Port 1 and Port 2,
page 370 .
Change Device Name
To easily identify your Eos on the network, change the device name to be representative of the
device (such as “Booth Primary” or “Tech Backup”). This is done in
General Settings, page 366 .
Backup Auto Switch
Switches to the backup automatically if the primary should go offline. This is enabled in Backup
Automatically Takes Control, page 373 .
Backup at Higher Priority
This enables the backup device in a multi-console system to take over at one priority higher than
the master if the master goes offline. This is enabled in
Backup Takes Over At Higher Priority, page
373 .
N o t e : It is recommended that you perform the following setting changes before
connecting your Eos device(s) to the network. After the changes are complete,
connect to the network and reboot the device.
