Architectural Wall Controller: ETC EchoTouch (Wall-Mounted behind Rack)
Primary Control Protocol: sACN (lower priority than the theatrical console)
Primary Purpose: Simple, volunteer-friendly wall presets for rehearsals, cleaning, and walk-in lighting without booting the main console.
Ethernet-to-DMX Gateway: Pathway eDIN / Pathport DMX Gateway Node
IP Address: 10.0.20.14
