control. (Backup Automatically Takes Control(on page480)) When the primary remains in control,
the backup will behave as a client would.
Backup mode can be run on Eos Ti, Eos, Gio, Gio @ 5, Ion, Ion Xe, Element 2, Element, ETCnomad
Puck, and RPUs. For more information on backup systems, see Multi-console and Synchronized
Backup (on page455)
Client
A device set to client mode can act as a remote controller or remote video station for a system. A cli-
ent device cannot output to the lighting system. Only a primary or backup processor can do this.
User ID determines some interaction between the client and other devices. If the client and the
primary desk have the same User ID, they will act as one. If they have different User IDs, they will
have separate command lines. See About User ID (on page458)
Client mode can be run on Eos Ti, Eos, Gio, Gio @ 5, Ion, Ion Xe, Element 2, Element, ETCnomad
Puck, and ETCnomad with a dongle. Without a dongle, a client can connect in mirror mode. See Mir-
ror Mode (on page463)
Consoles in client or backup mode by default will not output on their local DMX ports. This option is
found at ECU>Settings>Local I/O. Click on {Output in Client Mode} to enable the ability to output.
CAUTION: ETC does not recommend the use of wireless for show critical functions.
Offline
Offline mode puts the software in a state where there is no network activity, no control, no con-
nections with other consoles or any other network devices.
This mode is primarily intended for offline editing of a show file.
Offline mode can be run on Eos Ti, Eos, Gio, Gio @ 5, Ion, Ion Xe, Element 2, Element, ETCnomad
Puck, and ETCnomad.
