Eos Configuration Utility 405
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393)
Client
A device set to client mode can act as a remote controller or remote video station for a system.
A client 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396)
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 Mirror Mode (on page400)
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
connections 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.
Offline w/ viz mode is available when running ETCnomad software without a dongle. This mode
is only intended to be used with visualizer software, and does not output DMX.
