Eos multiconsole status indication
Question
What's the meaning of the green / red / yellow indication next to the command line and User ID ?
Description
Eos family consoles can be operated in various multiconsole / network states. If your console is always used as a "stand alone" device, you would normally start the Eos application as "Primary" (or "Offline" if you don't want to output to the lighting system). In a mutliconsole environment, consoles can also be used as "Backup" or "Client" stations. In Eos version 3.0 "Augment3d Tether" is introduced as an additional network state. The table below explains the meaning of the different indications and colors.
