ETCNet2

“Congo “ + the system name.

ETCNet2

Priority: An ETCNet2 source can have a priority of 20-1. 1 is highest, and 20 is
lowest. This parameter decides the priority status of this system if there are multiple
sources (for example Congo and Unison). Sources with the same priority share on
an HTP level. If there are different priorities, the highest one will "win". See ETCNet2
documentation.

Server/Backup Use Same Priority

This setting inhibits the Congo Backup unit from activating at a higher priority than
the server. Normally, the backup will activate at a higher priority to ensure that the
system is being controlled by only one server. In some systems, however, control is
shared by the Congo server and other consoles or architectural lighting control in
such a way that having the backup jump a priority can cause unexpected behavior of
the system. In those systems, it may be desired to force the backup to activate at the
same priority as the server.

Other
