11 -Typically, each DIN-CENCN-2 will need to be initially configured via 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]]).
11 +Typically, each DIN-CENCN-2 will need to be initially configured via USB (USB Type B) 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>>url:https://wiki.chiefintegrations.com/SHOWRUNNER%E2%84%A2%20Setup%20Guide/Troubleshooting%20Guide/Advanced%20Tools/DHCP%20Server/]]), 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.

15 +If the lighting network has a permanent DHCP server, then DIN-CENCN-2s 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 DIN-CENCN-2s are not known, then the best way to update their configuration is via USB (USB Type B). If you are able to identify the DIN-CENCN-2s by MAC address, then it is possible to configure these settings via Ethernet using Text Console. Whether connected to the DIN-CENCN-2 via USB or Ethernet, the process to configure the IP table and hostname is the same:
16 +
15 15  * Open Text Console in Toolbox and connect to the DIN-CENCN-2
18 +* Run the following commands to configure the DIN-CENCN-2's IP table and hostname (example is for a CENCN-2 IP-ID of (% style="color:olive" %)**D1**(%%), a processor IP address of (% style="color:orange" %)**172.22.0.1**(%%), and a hostname of (% style="color:purple" %)**CENCN-L1**(%%))
19 +** Update IP table: ##addm (% style="color:olive" %)**D1**(%%) (% style="color:orange" %)**172.22.0.1**(%%)##
20 +** Set hostname: ##host (% style="color:purple" %)**CENCN-L1**(%%)##
21 +** Reboot the DIN-CENCN-2: ##reboot##
22 +* 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]]
23 +* Repeat for all DIN-CENCN-2s on the job

27 +If there is no permanent DHCP server on the lighting network, then DIN-CENCN-2s should be configured with static IP addresses via USB (Type B). If a temporary DHCP server is connected to the lighting network and you are able to identify DIN-CENCN-2s by MAC address, then it is possible to configure these settings via Ethernet using Text Console. Whether connected to the DIN-CENCN-2 via USB or Ethernet, the process to configure the static IP addresses is the same:
28 +
29 +* Open Text Console in Toolbox and connect to the DIN-CENCN-2
16 16  * Run the following commands to configure the DIN-CENCN-2's IP settings (example is for a **10.0.0.0(% style="color:darkgoldenrod" %)/24(%%)** subnet, with a CENCN-2 IP address of (% style="color:blue" %)**10.0.0.12**(%%), a CENCN-2 IP-ID of (% style="color:olive" %)**D1**(%%), a processor IP address of (% style="color:orange" %)**10.0.0.10**(%%), and a hostname of (% style="color:purple" %)**CENCN-L1**(%%))

19 19  ** Set IP subnet mask: ##ipm 0 (% style="color:darkgoldenrod" %)**255.255.255.0**(%%)##
