Looking for some guidance/advice.
Have two PC’s running Onyx, one is the main, second is a back up, connected to a EP4, using sACN. Is it possible to have both connected to the EP4 at the same time? Recently connected backup pc to node and found unable to change attributes on a fixture due to the backup conflicting with the main. Is it just simplest to toggle the ether dmx on when using the backup?
sacn priority!

Hi @styles
As @deflost mentions, the best way to do this is using sACN Priorities.
On your main ONYX PC, enable sACN output, and set the sACN priority to 150 for example. Then on your backup ONYX PC, enable sACN output, and set a lower priority, for example 100.
Your EP4 will receive the sACN from both sources, but will only listen to the source with the highest priority. If the main ONYX PC goes offline, the EP4 will automatically listen to the source with the next highest priority.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
