## Default Language

It is not possible to change this setting, as the console, at the moment, only supports English language. 

---

## Network DMX if alone

When this is "On", the console will output DMX over network when only one desk (as master) is in the session.

**Important**\
This setting can conflict with other console (as master), sending out DMX in the network.

---

## Example

In the following example, 3 consoles are in a session, connected with one switch to manage MANet on the first ethernet port, and another one to manage Art-Net on ethernet port 2. All the consoles have **Network DMX if alone** enabled.

If the switch that distribute MANet fails, all 3 consoles will be "Alone" in the network, become Master and will send out Art-Net. This will make a conflict in the fixtures because they will receive Art-Net from 3 different sources. To avoid this conflict, make sure that only one of the consoles have **Network DMX if alone** enabled. This will make sure that when the consoles are "Alone" in the network, only the console with **Network DMX if alone** will send out Art-Net.

## Show release notes on start

Turn **Show Release Notes on Start** "On" or "Off", to see the release notes on startup.

## Flashing error LED on wrong fader position

Turn **Flashing error LED on wrong fader position** "On" or "Off" to let a red LED flash, if the fader is in a wrong position.

**Important:**\
This function is only available on a grandMA2 ultra-light and a grandMA2 onPC with a wing. On a grandMA2 ultra-light it relates the red LEDs under the faders. In the grandaMA2 onPC it relates the LEDs in the keys over the faders.

## Exec CLI

Turn **Exec CLI** ​(Command Line Interaction) "On" or "Off" to let the Command Line interact with the executors.

In the following  example **Exce CLI** is "Off".

If Select is pressed, followed by an **Executor button**, this will NOT select the executor, but perform the action assigned to the button.

---

## Default Go, Goback, Pause CLI

Turn **Default Go, Goback, Pause CLI** "On" or "Off" to let the Command Line interact with the big Default Go, Goback and Pause keys.

In the following  example **Default Go, Goback, Pause CLI** is "Off".

If a macro is edited and Default Go is pressed, the system will NOT enter DefaultGo in the macro-line, but execute the next cue in the selected executor.
