Tracking Backup 
It is possible to connect ZerOS consoles together, or a console and an offline 
editor, to create a master and backup system.  This tracking backup option is 
ideal for show-critical scenarios where a  backup  solution must be provided. 
For this purpose Phantom ZerOS can be considered to be a fully functioning 
console, with the presence of a ZerOS Unlock Dongle (Catalogue Number 00-
887-00). 
The  two  consoles  are  connected  together  via  an  Ethernet  network.    Each 
console  is  assigned  an  IP  address  and  a  master  or  backup  status.  If  the 
console  is  set  to  be  the  backup  device,  it  will  go  into  a  suspended  status 
where you will not be able to operate the controls on the front panel, until such 
a time as the master console disconnects or fails in any way. At this time, the 
show  file  will  have  automatically transferred  to  the  backup  console  and  the 
backup console will take over control of the show.
