Some of the Eos series consoles have Net 2 Configuration Editor in the shell, OR it can be downloaded from ETC and added. CE can than configure Net 2 devices.
One thing folks have a hard time wrapping their heads around is the idea that with 1024 addresses, you can use them on any number of universes. You can set up the 2 ports on the Element as Universe 1 & 2, than a 2 port node as 3 & 4. As long as your total patched address count doesn’t exceed 1024, the desk doesn’t care how you distribute those addresses. We sometimes set up a node/gateway as Universe 8, with our 6 CF72 strips in a mode that uses a 54 address footprint (I think it’s 2 adjacent cells grouped), so need 320 addresses, which is within a single universe output on a Gateway. If I set up the CF’s in the most discrete usage, it would be 108 addresses per strip and would give me individual cell control. That than means 640 addresses and requires another port, as well as 2nd cable, etc....
.I have had as many as 17 Gateways in use, but only use 3200 or so addresses of the 6144 available on that Ion. I distribute as it makes sense to various positions, including 8 - 1 port Gateway/Nodes on 8 different box booms, all Universe 3. I may only use a total of 300 some odd addresses total for the gear on those positions.
