Two IONs, One network, Multiple Universes

I'm working in two brand new spaces that share a network. ION #1 in the bigger space has universe 1, and ION #2 in the smaller space has Universe 2. This also means that when I add movers I will be using Universe 3 with ION #1.

How do I prevent a programmer or board op from accidentally using universes 1 and 3 in the small space, and from using Universe 2 in the large space? Is there a way to block certain dimmers on each of the consoles?

In the shell you should be able to set up allowed output ranges for each of the consoles.

To get to the shell, go to your browser and select "Exit Ion" (Not shut down console...)

Once you're at the primary screen, select "Settings"

Go to the "Network" tab.

Scroll down. By default outputs 1-60k something are enabled. Disable this range, then add in 1-512 and 1024-1536 on your ION#1

Do the same on ION#2, except add ranges 513-1024 only.

Hope this helps!

Anything that can be done at the console, can be undone at the console.

If your systems allows it (not sharing dimmers or other devices) you might partition the network. Ask your local IT expert to actually do the work. Changing the IP of the console is the simplest part of this kind of work.
