1 +=== SHOWRUNNER™ Startups ===
2 +
3 +The SHOWRUNNER™ program has many features to simplify and streamline Crestron lighting control startups, reducing the amount of technical knowledge required and time spent on-site. Even so, there are a number of different software programs and tools required for a successful SHOWRUNNER™ startup.
4 +
5 +"Required" items are absolutely necessary for startup, while "Recommended" items are not strictly necessary but are good to have.
6 +
7 +==== All Startups ====

10 +
11 +* Windows Laptop (Windows 10 recommended)
12 +** Internet access is required to generate and download the SHOWRUNNER™ license on-site
13 +*** Most cellphones can be used as hot spots for this purpose, but a **dedicated hot spot **is** highly recommended**
14 +** Laptop must have an RJ-45 Ethernet port or a suitable adapter
15 +* Software:
16 +** [[Crestron Toolbox>>https://www.crestron.com/Products/Control-Hardware-Software/Software/Development-Software/SW-TB]] (requires Crestron account; always update to the latest version)
17 +** Web Browser ([[Chrome>>https://www.google.com/chrome/]] or [[Firefox>>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/]])

23 +** Latest [[SHOWRUNNER™ UI .puf file>>https://files.chiefintegrations.com/index.php/s/WHNzXrrZbB5jC3E]] (only required for jobs with touchscreens other than TSW-770)
24 +** SHOWRUNNER™ GLPAC expansion program (only required for jobs with GLPAC controllers)
25 +* Cables:
26 +** Cat5/Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet cable (multiple cables and multiple lengths are recommended)
27 +** USB-A to USB-B cable (required for most devices; 15' minimum cable length recommended for jobs with GLPACs)
28 +** USB-A to Mini-B cable (required for RMC3 processors only)

30 +
31 +====== Recommended: ======
32 +
33 +* Secondary device with internet access (e.g. tablet, second laptop, or cell phone) and remote access software (such as Splashtop or TeamViewer)
34 +** This allows you to "untether" yourself from the lighting network; your laptop stays connected to the lighting network, but is controlled via the remote access software on your second device
35 +* Remotes:
36 +** [[GLS-REMOTE-ODT/OIR>>https://www.crestron.com/Products/Control-Surfaces/Remotes/Lighting-System-Companion-Remotes/GLS-REMOTE-ODT-OIR]] (**required **for jobs with Crestron occupancy sensors)

43 +** Bright flashlight or laser pointer (for testing photocells)
44 +** RJ-45 crimper + terminations (the EC should make these terminations, but oftentimes their tools are in poor condition and unsuitable for making good terminations)
45 +* Measurement devices:
46 +** Low-voltage Multimeter (continuity testing and low voltage DC measurements are frequently required for troubleshooting)
47 +** Ethernet Network Cable Tester (these are expensive, but useful for verifying Ethernet run lengths and terminations)
48 +* Software:
49 +** Chief Integrations Remote Help Tool (download from [[http:~~/~~/help.chiefintegrations.com/>>http://help.chiefintegrations.com/]]; requires internet access on-site to use)
