26 26  === IP Configuration and Program Load (Per Processor) ===
27 27  
28 -* Obtain the latest build of ShowRunner [[https:~~/~~/files.chiefintegrations.com/s/WHNzXrrZbB5jC3E>>url:https://files.chiefintegrations.com/s/WHNzXrrZbB5jC3E]]
29 -* Set the processor’s IP Address per your network requirements
28 +* Obtain the latest build of SHOWRUNNER™ [[https:~~/~~/files.chiefintegrations.com/s/WHNzXrrZbB5jC3E>>url:https://files.chiefintegrations.com/s/WHNzXrrZbB5jC3E]]
29 +* Connect to the processor via USB and set the processor’s IP Address per your network requirements
30 30  ** When connecting to a 4-series processor or a 3-series processor with authentication enabled for the first time, it will prompt for the creation of an admin-level CWS user
31 31  *** Input the desired username and password into the dialog box. Save this login information, as it is not possible to recover if it is lost or forgotten
32 32  *** In the event that the processor does not allow you to log in with the chosen credentials (i.e. it repeatedly prompts for credentials)
33 33  **** Attempt to log in with username "crestron" and no password
34 -**** Once logged into Text Console, run the following commands, replacing [BRACKETS] with your desired credentials
35 -***** ##adduser -N:[USERNAME] -P:[PASSWORD]##
36 -***** ##addusertogroup -N:[USERNAME] -G:Administrators##
37 -** Connect to the processor via USB and open Text Console and run the following commands, replacing [BRACKETS] per your network requirements
34 +**** Once logged into Text Console, run the following commands, replacing the "username" and "password" with your desired credentials
35 +***** ##adduser -N:username -P:password##
36 +***** ##addusertogroup -N:username -G:Administrators##
37 +** Once connected, open Text Console and run the following commands to configure the processor's IP settings (example is for a 10.0.0.0/24 subnet, with a processor IP address of 10.0.0.10)
38 38  *** Disable DHCP: ##dhcp 0 off##
39 -*** Set IP address: ##ipa 0 [IPADDRESS]##
40 -*** Set IP subnet mask: ##ipm 0 [IPMASK]##
41 -*** Set default gateway: ##defr 0 [DEFAULTGATEWAY]##
42 -*** Set hostname: ##host [HOSTNAME]##
39 +*** Set IP address: ##ipa 0 10.0.0.10##
40 +*** Set IP subnet mask: ##ipm 0 255.255.255.0##
41 +*** Set default gateway: ##defr 0 10.0.0.1##
42 +*** Set hostname: ##host AP3-CPP##
43 43  ** It is also possible to configure a processor over Ethernet by using a DHCP server software on your laptop to assign an IP address
44 44  *** Configure your DHCP server software to assign IP addresses in the desired range
45 45  *** Once the processor is assigned an IP address, connect to it via Text Console at the assigned IP address
46 46  *** Run the above commands to disable DHCP and assign a static IP address to the processor
47 -* For processors with a Control Subnet (CP3N/AV3/PRO3/CP4N/AV4/PRO4/ZUM-HUB4), lighting hardware should be connected to the Control Subnet port and the building LAN should be connected to the LAN port. Additional setup is required for the Control Subnet. 
47 +* For processors with a Control Subnet (CP3N/AV3/PRO3/CP4N/AV4/PRO4/ZUM-HUB4), additional setup is required
48 48  ** Connect to the processor via Text Console and run the command: ##startprogafterrouter on##
49 -*** This will force the processor to wait until the router has started before attempting to load the showrunner™ program, avoiding potential license validation issues after a power loss.
50 -** Networked lighting hardware should be landed on the Control Subnet
51 -** The processor acts as a DHCP server on the Control Subnet, with addresses that are determined automatically based on the LAN configuration
49 +*** This will force the processor to wait until the router has started before attempting to load the showrunner™ program, avoiding potential license validation issues if the processor boots up before the router.
50 +** The previously listed "ipa," "ipm," etc. commands will configure settings for the processor's LAN port, which should be connected to the building LAN or third party network.
51 +** Lighting control hardware (e.g. TSWs, DIN-CENCN-2s, etc.) should be connected to the Control Subnet port. The processor acts as a DHCP server on the Control Subnet, with addresses that are determined automatically based on the LAN configuration.
52 52  ** The Control Subnet can be configured manually in the "Functions>Ethernet Addressing...>Control Subnet" menu of Toolbox
53 53  *** Set routing to "Manual" with the start address and subnet size
54 54  *** E.g., a setting of "10.0.0.0/24" will have the processor at 10.0.0.1 with an IP mask of 255.255.255.0 and a default gateway and DNS server at 10.0.0.2
55 -*** 100.64.0.0/10 is a recommended range as it is unlikely to be used on any corporate network.  Processor IP will be 100.64.0.1 and default gateway/DNS will be 100.64.0.2.  Console command is: ##csrouterprefix 100.64.0.0/10##
56 -* Connect your computer to the same network as the processor. Make sure your computer’s IP settings are compatible with the lighting hardware.
57 -* Double click the PUF to install ShowRunner (works best with Toolbox closed)
55 +** The Control Subnet can also be configured using Text Console command: ##csrouterprefix 10.0.0.0/24##
56 +* Connect your computer to the same network as the processor. Make sure your computer’s IP settings are compatible with the lighting network and do not conflict with any devices already on the network.
57 +* Double click the PUF to open the Package Update Tool and install SHOWRUNNER™ (works best with Toolbox closed)
58 +** The Package Update Tool will automatically open your Address Book
58 58  * Select the PUF file again if needed, connect to the processor using the pencil, and select Recheck (This verifies the need to install the program, the XPanel UI, and the Crestron App UI)
59 59  * Click Update when prompted to install ShowRunner
60 60  * After loading, you can connect to the UI by navigating to the processor’s IP.
