Appendix A
Eos Configuration Utility (Eos Shell)

Overview

This appendix covers the Eos Configuration Utility (ECU) and
its use. This is a component of the Eos Lighting Control System
and is used for both system configuration and performing basic
level test functions of your Ion console. These instructions
illustrate how to use the utility, but do not specify what changes
to make as these are based on your preferences and can be
changed to suit your control needs.
Ion uses the ECU for the same purposes as Eos. There is a section of the ECU dedicated solely to
the Ion console. It grants you the ability to configure the DMX, MIDI, contact closure, and relay ports
on the back of the console. For more information see
