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

6 ShowRunner 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

67 ==== VC-4 Specific Notes ====
68
69 ===== Prerequisites =====
70
71 * VC-4 server installed
72 * Recommended VC-4 server hardened per [[Crestron>>https://support.crestron.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1001249/kw/harden%20VC-4]]
73 ** [[​​​​​​​>>https://support.crestron.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1001249/kw/harden%20VC-4]]Will require SETCSAUTHENTICATION command on processor
74 ** VC-4 installer will need to provide username and password for processor to connect, this is used with SETCSAUTHENTICATION
75 * showrunner running on a processor
76 * EISC created in the showrunner config
77 * AV program running on VC-4, AV programmer will need to provide the ROOM ID from VC-4
78
79 ===== showrunner Config Settings =====
80
81 * Define EiscType in config: ##"EiscType": "VirtualControlEiscClient"##
82 * Define Vc4RoomId in config: ##"Vc4RoomId": "VC4ROOMID"##
83 * IpAddressOrHostname will not used, instead VCSERVERADDR will be used instead
84
85 ===== Processor Settings =====
86
87 * 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##
88 * 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##
89 * Reboot after entering the above settings

93 showrunner 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.

97 (((
98 showrunner 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.
