11 +Typically, each CEN-GWEXER will need to be initially configured via USB (micro USB), unless their MAC addresses are already known and the lighting network has a DHCP server (either by running DHCP server software on your computer, or if the processor has a control subnet or is running the [[ShowRunner™ DHCP Server>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.Troubleshooting Guide.Advanced Tools.DHCP Server.WebHome]]).

13 +CEN-GWEXERs  for the first time, it may be necessary to manually change the connection type from "Auto" to "SSL"
14 +
15 +Whether connected to the CEN-GWEXER via USB or Ethernet, the process to configure the static IP addresses is the same:
16 +
17 +* Open Text Console in Toolbox and connect to the CEN-GWEXER
18 +** Note that you may need to manually select "SSL" connection type, as "Auto" might not always redirect
19 +* 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**(%%))
20 +** Set IP address: ##ipa 0 (% style="color:blue" %)**10.0.0.12**(%%)##
21 +** Set IP subnet mask: ##ipm 0 (% style="color:darkgoldenrod" %)**255.255.255.0**(%%)##
22 +** Set default gateway: ##defr 0 **10.0.0.1**##
23 +** Disable DHCP: ##dhcp off##
24 +** Update IP table: ##addm (% style="color:olive" %)**C1**(%%) (% style="color:orange" %)**10.0.0.10**(%%)##
25 +** Set hostname: ##host (% style="color:purple" %)**GWEXER-L1**(%%)##
26 +** Reboot the CEN-GWEXER: ##reboot##
27 +* Repeat for all CEN-GWEXERs on the job

31 +Crestron devices that support SSL require the use of a secure connection between the processor and the device. In order to establish this secure connection, the processor must have authentication enabled and there must be a user on the processor with "Connects" group permissions.

21 -~/~/Need to manually set SSL/TSL method for connecting to gwexer with auth enabled
22 -- also need to update address book if gwexer are added to address book (defaults to ctp)
35 +* Ensure the processor has [[its IP configured and authentication enabled>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation and Network Setup.Processor Setup.WebHome||anchor="HIPConfiguration"]]
36 +** Verify the processor has authentication enabled by running the command: ##auth## without any parameters
37 +* Create a user by running the following commands, replacing the "username" and "password" with your desired credentials
38 +** ##adduser -N:username -P:password##
39 +** ##addusertogroup -N:username -G:Connects##
40 +* Verify that the user has been created by running the command: ##listusers##
41 +* This process only needs to be performed once per processor on the jobsite
23 23  
43 +Configure the CS authentication on the CEN-GWEXER:
44 +
45 +* Run the following command, replacing the "username" and "password" with the credentials of the Connects user from the previous step
46 +** ##setcsauth -N:username -P:password##
47 +* Repeat this process for every CEN-GWEXER on the jobsite
