Ethernet Ports
Ethernet ports are for connecting to a network switch, network gateways, and accessory
devices. Each port is on a separate NIC, and can be configured to directly output network-
based lighting control protocols such as sACN or Art-Net.
See Output Protocols (on page 555) for more information.
USB Ports
One USB port is provided on the front of the console to connect any USB storage device.
Additional USB ports on the rear panel (and in the keyboard tray, when present) of the console
connect peripherals such as an alphanumeric keyboard, pointing device, or touchscreen
control for external monitors.
CAUTION:
The USB ports cannot be used for charging devices.
Task Lights
Littlites®
You may connect Littlites to the back of your console.
Dimming Task Lights
Task lights can be dimmed from within Eos, under Setup > Device > Brightness Settings. The
{Desk Lamp} slider has a range of 0% (dimmest) to 100% (brightest). The default setting is
0%. The console will set the desk lamp to this setting on startup of the application. See
Brightness Settings (on page 215) for more information.
Task lights can also be controlled by holding down [Displays] and rolling the level wheel.
