11 -Typically, each CEN-GWEXER will need to be initially configured via USB (microUSB) unless their MAC addresses are already known and the lighting network has a DHCP server. If the DHCP server on the network is temporary (e.g. DHCP server software running on your computer or a processor utilizing the [[ShowRunner™ DHCP Server>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.Troubleshooting Guide.Advanced Tools.DHCP Server.WebHome]]), then static IP addresses must be configured. If the DHCP server is permanent (such as a CP4N or ZUM-HUB4 Control Subnet), then only the IP table needs to be configured for the devices.

13 -When connecting to a CEN-GWEXER for the first time, it may be necessary to manually change the connection type from "Auto" to "SSL/TLS". It is also necessary to manually edit the CEN-GWEXER's address book entry so that the connection protocol is "SSL/TLS" when a CEN-GWEXER is added to the address book using Device Discovery tool export.

17 -If the lighting network has a permanent DHCP server, then CEN-GWEXERs only require their IP table to be configured, though it is good practice to also record or update their hostname. If the MAC addresses for the CEN-GWEXERs are not known, then the best way to update their configuration is via USB (microUSB). If you are able to identify the CEN-GWEXERs by MAC address, then it is possible to configure these settings via Ethernet using Text Console. Whether connected to the CEN-GWEXER via USB or Ethernet, the process to configure the IP table and hostname is the same:

19 19  * Open Text Console in Toolbox and connect to the CEN-GWEXER
20 20  ** Note that you may need to manually select "SSL" connection type, as "Auto" might not always redirect
21 -* Run the following commands to configure the CEN-GWEXER's IP table and hostname (example is for an IP-ID of (% style="color:olive" %)**C1**(%%), and a target processor IP address of (% style="color:orange" %)**172.22.0.1**(%%), and a device hostname of (% style="color:purple" %)**GWEXER-L1**(%%))
22 -** Update IP table: ##addm (% style="color:olive" %)**C1**(%%) (% style="color:orange" %)**172.22.0.1**(%%)##
23 -** Set hostname: ##host (% style="color:purple" %)**GWEXER-L1**(%%)##
24 -** Reboot the CEN-GWEXER: ##reboot##
25 -* At this point, it is a good idea to [[update the device firmware>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation and Network Setup.Updating Firmware.WebHome]]

34 34  * Run the following commands to configure the CEN-GWEXER's static IP settings (example is for a **10.0.0.0(% style="color:darkgoldenrod" %)/24(%%)** subnet, with a static IP address of (% style="color:blue" %)**10.0.0.12**(%%), an IP-ID of (% style="color:olive" %)**C1**(%%), and a target processor IP address of (% style="color:orange" %)**10.0.0.10**(%%), and a device hostname of (% style="color:purple" %)**GWEXER-L1**(%%))
