work and reboot the device.
Designate Primary
By default, all Eos devices will boot as a primary. When using multiple Eos devices on the network,
only one should be designated as a primary. Other Eos devices should be configured as the backup
(only one per system) or clients. There can be a maximum of 12 Eos devices connected to a master.
To change this setting, you must exit the Eos software (Browser>File>Exit Eos) and then designate
the Eos device as primary, backup, or client in the ECU Welcome Screen (see
page 446)).
DHCP Server
DHCP server supplies IP addresses to network devices. Only one Eos device (typically the Primary) on
the network is necessary to do this properly. Therefore you should disable the DHCP server on all Eos
devices except for the intended primary.
To disable the DHCP server on your Eos device, go to ECU>Settings>Network>DHCP Service. See
Local Area Connection (on page 453)
Change Device Name
To easily identify your Eos on the network, change the device name to be representative of the
device (such as "Booth Primary" or "Tech Backup"). This is done in ECU>Settings>General. See
eral Settings (on page 447)
Backup Auto Switch
Switches to the backup automatically if the primary should go offline. This is enabled in ECU>Set-
tings>Network>Output Protocols. See
information.
Backup at Higher Priority
This enables the backup device in a multi-console system to take over at one priority higher than the
master if the master goes offline. This is enabled in ECU>Settings>Network>Output Protocols. See
Backup Takes Over At Higher Priority (on page 458)
Network Type
This setting adjusts the timeout period before a backup device will take control from the master. This
is done in ECU>Settings>Network>Interface Protocols. See
information.
