RPU and console
One RPU and one console can be used as a backup option. In this configuration, it is recommended
that you set the RPU as the primary and the console as the backup. In this scenario, should the RPU
go offline, you will still have the full functionality of the console user-interface at your disposal.
RPU and RPU
Two RPUs may serve as primary and backup also. A backup system of this type can support many cli-
ent consoles at once, which you may turn on and off as needed without the need to reset to a dif-
ferent master each time.
This application is ideal for permanent installations requiring synchronized backup.
Remote Software Installation
Within a multi-console system, you can remotely install software to all devices.
Note: All devices must be upgraded to version 1.9 before remote software installation is
available.
In the ECU, go to Setting> General> Automatically Update Software to enable. Once enabled, the
devices can be remotely updated with the next version of software. Devices will receive the software
update from the Primary. When you install software on the Primary, the software will first be copied
to its hard drive.
With the devices synchronized with the Primary, install the new version of software onto the
Primary. All devices will lose their connection with the Primary at that time. When the Primary comes
back online after installing the software, all the connected devices will be forced to update their soft-
ware before they can reconnect with the Primary.
Remote Power On/Off
In a multi-console system, it is possible to power on and off devices remotely. Remote Power On and
Remote Power Off must be enabled on each device before it can receive the power on and off com-
mands. In the ECU go to Settings> Network> Enable Remote Power Off and Enable Remote Power
On. The default setting for both is “Disabled”.
Note: Original Eos consoles cannot be remotely powered on.
The Remote Power commands are sent from the browser. The command for Power On is sent from
Browser> Network> Power On MultiConsole System, and the command for Power Off is from
Browser> Network> Power Off MultiConsole System.
Note: Only devices that synchronize with the Primary will be available for Remote Power
On and Off.
Mirror Mode
Mirror Mode is used to mirror the displays of another device. When a device is in mirror mode, the
only action allowed from that device is paging via the page keys and shut down/start up. When a
