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

67 ==== Processors with Control Subnets ====
68
69 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. It is necessary to either set up CWS users and enable a secure (SCIP on port 41796) EISC or run the following commands:
70
71 * ##securegateway default##
72 ** Enables non-secure connections (CIP on port 41794) from the LAN side
73 * ##isolatenetworks off##
74 ** Enables communications between the LAN and the Control Subnet, where the actual control processor is located
75
76 ==== VC-4 Specific Notes ====
77
78 ===== Prerequisites =====
79
80 * VC-4 server installed
81 * Recommended VC-4 server hardened per [[Crestron>>https://support.crestron.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1001249/kw/harden%20VC-4]]
82 ** Will require SETCSAUTHENTICATION command on processor
83 ** VC-4 installer will need to provide username and password for processor to connect, this is used with SETCSAUTHENTICATION
84 * ShowRunnerCLC™ running on a processor
85 * EISC created in the ShowRunnerCLC™ config
86 * AV program running on VC-4, AV programmer will need to provide the ROOM ID from VC-4
87
88 ===== ShowRunnerCLC™ Config Settings =====
89
90 * Define EiscType in config: ##"EiscType": "VirtualControlEiscClient"##
91 * Define Vc4RoomId in config: ##"Vc4RoomId": "VC4ROOMID"##
92 * IpAddressOrHostname will not used, instead VCSERVERADDR will be used instead
93
94 ===== Processor Settings =====
95
96 * 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##
97 * 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##
98 * Reboot after entering the above settings

102 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 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.
