Changing Net number

Hi Guys

I've got a Hog 4 and Hog 4 Full boar.
i've got them to load the same show file though hog net, but can't seem to set them up so the Hog 4 is my main and the full boar the back up.
I want it so if the main loses power the back up takes over and outputs artnet.
I've got the switch between the 2 console on hognet, do i need to add a second switch for the Art net and somehow make it so the Full baor doesn't out put until the Hog 4 drops out?
I'm getting myself a bit confused on how to do this.

    Yes you need to switches.
    And you need an option to select which artnet out is active.
    If you only convert artnet to DMX I always use ELC nodes with priority on the output or Luminex and with IP priority.
    Set your net number for the console to the same number to get a full tracking server/console or to a different if you only want tracking servers. The internal DPs should have different net-numbers. Clone DP#1 to DP#2
    Then set one DP to output on subnet 0 and the other on subnet 1 (when using ELC) or both to 0 and set the ip-priority in the node . Config your nodes to these settings.
    You might also you as rock-switch to hardswitch between the two artnet-signals. but some servers/nodes dont like that. But then still you would need the DPs to be set to #1 and #2 and have them cloned.
