Congratulations on your purchase of the ETC Congo Light Server, powered by Cobalt. The Congo Light
Server may be configured to run the Cobalt application as a server, backup, or client in a Cobalt or
Congo Family system, powered by Cobalt.
• When the unit is configured as a server, it is the master and maintains the show file and controls
output to the lighting system.
• When the unit is configured as a backup, the unit will perform synchronized backup with a server
and will take control of the lighting system upon the loss of communication with the server.
• When the unit is configured as a client, you can access real time inputs and outputs of the lighting
system through the server.
This document will guide you in the setup and simple operation of the Congo Light Server for use with
