Installing Full Tracking Backup
Full Tracking Backup (FTB) allows you to connect two Insight 2x consoles,
or one console and a Lighting Playback Controller (LPC), using one as a
backup for the other. This provides you with a working way of running
your show, even if something happens to your main console. See Full
Tracking Backup on page 213 for more information.
Use the keyswitch at the right end of the console LED display panel to
switch from one set of electronics to the other.
Follow these steps to install a Full Tracking Backup system.
1. Connect both consoles (or console and LPC) via the ETCNet network
cable and terminate properly. See
ETCNet on page 306 for more infor-
mation about ETCNet.
2. Connect monitors to the second console (or LPC). See Installing con-
sole and monitors on page 290.
3. Set DIP switches on both processors, either on the console(s) or in
the LPC, as described in Appendix B, DIP switch settings .
Note: The console or LPC reads DIP switch settings when you turn it
on. You must turn power off and back on for the console to recognize
new settings.
