ion in backup mode, disconnect, reconnect, correct procedure?

hey there.

 

i have an eos and an ion, where eos is primary and ion the backup. everything is setup and running, backup function works. now i want to load another show on the ion without influencing what i'm working on on the eos. so i pulled the ion's ethernet plug and clicked (take control). so far everything is fine. but when i want to return to the backup function and i replug the ion, it does switch back to the backup-label (yellow background), but it doesn't sync or connect. tried to "shut down ion" and then start the backup from the shell again, but still no connection. only when i powered down bothe desks and switched them on again, the backup sync worked again.

so: what would the correct procedure be to get the backup working again? if possible without powering down the main concole?

 

cheers from switzerland

  • Felix, when you bring the Ion back on the network and change it to "backup", go to "Network" in the browser.  Select "Configuration". It will show the Eos as an available primary.  You'll need to click on it there to reconnect.

    Just so you know, you can do what you are looking to do without physically disconnecting from the network.  That's what the "Offline" setting in the shell was intended for!  :-)  You'll notice under the Network Config Tool, there is also a button called "Go Offline."  You can do it from there as well.  

    Hope that helps.
