ETC Element Classic, User Manual

Page: 561 / 687

Eos Configuration Utility 547
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 console have the same User ID, they will act as one. If they have different user IDs,
they will have separate command lines. See
Assigning User ID (on page 539)
Consoles in client or backup mode by default will not output on their local DMX ports. This
option is found at Setup > System > Outputs. Click on {Output in Client Mode} to enable the
ability to output.
CAUTION:
ETC does not recommend the use of wireless networking for
show critical functions.
Mirror
Client mode requires a dongle. When a dongle is not detected, the option to connect in mirror
mode becomes available instead. See
Mirror Mode (on page 541) .
Offline
Puts the console in Offline mode. Consoles in this mode cannot connect with other devices on
the same network. This mode is primarily intended for offline editing of a show file.

intended to be used with visualizer software, and does not output DMX.
