3.3.6 Configuring the Network for Console Fail over
When two or more show server consoles are connected to a network show, a feature known
as fail over is automatically enabled, allowing for one of the consoles to “fail” without causing
a loss of control over the show data or DMX output. Each show server on the network has the
ability to take over control of the show should one of the other show server consoles suffer
from power loss, a severed network connection, or localized failure. Users are encouraged to
run at least two networked show server consoles in live performance situations in the event
that, if one console fails, the show can remain running on the secondary console while the
first console is recovered.
