The System Menu
The System menu is accessed by holding Avo and pressing Disk. Some consoles are also fitted with a key switch or mode switch to select System mode.
The options in this menu are separated from the other options on the console because you would normally only change them occasionally, or because they can have serious effects on the way the console works and you wouldn't want to change them accidentally.
When the console is in System mode, playback control, preset controls and programming buttons are all disabled.
Network Settings
This option sets up networking (Ethernet) parameters for the console - further details on how to control fixtures over a network in the networking section.

Titan Telemetry
To help Avolites with software development and bug fixing, the console will report anonymous information to Avolites. This includes details about faults that occur, statistics on how long certain functions take, and usage of functions. This information is really useful for improving the software, however if you would prefer to disable it, click the
Telemetry Enabled button to switch it to Telemetry Disabled. Telemetry information will only be sent in any case if the console is connected to the internet.Display Setup
This option gives you a menu for enabling and disabling external monitor(s). If you don't have a monitor connected, set this option to "Disabled" to improve the performance of the console.
