3 Note: Any changes to load hardware/scene quantity will require a regeneration of the EISC and will result in signal changes.

6 ShowRunnerCLC™ provides Ethernet Intersystem Communications interfaces for integration with 3rd party Crestron systems.
7
8 * EISCs may be Classic, 3-Series, or Server/Client (VC-4) types
9 * EISCs can have their IP-ID and IP Address of the remote changed at run-time without a program restart
10 * An RSD file will be built for each EISC and a URL will be displayed on the touchscreen to retrieve it
11 * There are 2 EISC modes and only one mode is supported on an EISC definition, multiple EISCs may be defined
12 ** AV Integration
13 *** Provides a standardized interface for controlling areas
14 *** Area selection may be changed at run-time
15 *** [[AV Integration Demo>>url:https://files.chiefintegrations.com/s/Di4aypEKX7APn8n]]
16 *** Signals Provided per Area (signals vary by Area settings/configuration):
17 **** Area Name
18 **** Occupied
19 **** Occupancy Enable/Disable
20 **** Color Temp Auto
21 **** Color Temp Manual Set and Feedback
22 **** Area Master Raise/Lower
23 **** Save Current Scene
24 **** Recall Scene # and Current Scene Feedback
25 **** Extended Scene Export option set
26 ***** Scene Count
27 ***** Scene Names
28 **** Load Count
29 **** Load Level Analogs
30 **** Load Names
31 **** Extended Load Export option set

33 ***** RGB[A|W]: Individual Color Channels
34 **** Shade Count
35 **** All Shade Open/Close
36 **** Shade Name
37 **** Shade Open/Close/Stop
38 **** Ignore Fade Times option set
39 ***** Fade Times are not sent out, only final value.  Reduces traffic.
40 ** Device Export
41 *** Exports devices with specific signals for each device type
42 **** Occupancy Sensor
43 ***** Occupied

68 ==== Processors with Control Subnets ====
69
70 When integrating a 3-Series EISC with a processor that has both a LAN port and a Control Subnet using a connection over the LAN, there are some additional settings that need to be enabled in order for the integration to work correctly. These commands are the same for both 3-Series and 4-Series processors:
71
72 * ##securegateway default##
73 ** Enables non-secure connections (CIP on port 41794) from the LAN side instead of requiring a secure connection (SCIP on port 41796)
74 * ##isolatenetworks off##
75 ** Enables communications between the LAN and the Control Subnet, where the actual control processor is located
76
77 ==== VC-4 Specific Notes ====
78
79 ===== Prerequisites =====
80
81 * VC-4 server installed
82 * Recommended VC-4 server hardened per [[Crestron>>https://support.crestron.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1001249/kw/harden%20VC-4]]
83 ** Will require SETCSAUTHENTICATION command on processor
84 ** VC-4 installer will need to provide username and password for processor to connect, this is used with SETCSAUTHENTICATION
85 * ShowRunnerCLC™ running on a processor
86 * EISC created in the ShowRunnerCLC™ config
87 * AV program running on VC-4, AV programmer will need to provide the ROOM ID from VC-4
88
89 ===== ShowRunnerCLC™ Config Settings =====
90
91 * Define EiscType in config: ##"EiscType": "VirtualControlEiscClient"##
92 * Define Vc4RoomId in config: ##"Vc4RoomId": "VC4ROOMID"##
93 * IpAddressOrHostname will not used, instead VCSERVERADDR will be used instead
94
95 ===== Processor Settings =====
96
97 * Use console command VCSERVERADDR (or processor configuration pages) to add the VC-4 server IP address or hostname. Example: ##VCSERVERADDR my-vc-4-server.mycorpnet.com##
98 * If security (hardening) is enabled use console command SETCSAUTHENTICATION to enroll the credentials used to login to VC-4. Example: ##SETCSAUTHENTICATION -n:vc4user -p:vc4password##
99 * Reboot after entering the above settings

103 ShowRunnerCLC™ will generate the RSD file as an EISC type, the SIMPL Windows programmer will need to convert the symbol to an //EISC Server//.  At the time of this writing, Crestron does not allow import/export of RSD files for //EISC Client//, //EISC Server,// and //Virtual Control EISC Client// types.

107 (((
108 ShowRunnerCLC™ uses analog join 4001 on normal EISCs to confirm the logic is fully online.  Join 4001 is not available on //EISC Client//, //EISC Server,// and //Virtual Control EISC Client// types so 4000 is used instead.
