Networker Software
Console Lock On Backup
Normally the backup console controls are active when in sync. Commands entered on the backup are
echoed back to the main so both consoles stay in sync. To prevent the controls on the backup console
being accidentally pressed they can be locked out by pressing the keys [SHIFT][HELP] together. Use
[SHIFT][HELP] again to toggle the console lock off. On the 510i show controller, turn the keyswitch to
the locked position and remove the key.
Remote Consoles
Note: Remote Consoles use Point to Point communications in which IP addresses are used and
MUST be unique.
Remote Console/PC allows one Main and several Remote consoles to work together on the same
show file at the same time. The main and remote need not have the same configuration of software or
hardware. Each console/PC user has their own command line and screen but shares the same show
(cues, groups, effects, etc.).
The main console and all remote consoles and PCs must have Operating Software and Networker
Utilities software of the same version loaded. Networker Utilities software is loaded using the same
Archive menu sequence as for Operating Software. In addition, you can load the Server application to
use the Login display, with its easy mode change and login facilities. Without Server, you need to force
remote mode without using the login display as described below.
