66 66  *** Configure your DHCP server software to assign IP addresses in the desired range
67 67  *** Once the processor is assigned an IP address, connect to it via Text Console at the assigned IP address
68 68  *** Run the above commands to disable DHCP and assign a static IP address to the processor
69 -* For processors with a Control Subnet (CP3N/AV3/PRO3/CP4N/AV4/PRO4), additional setup is required
69 +* For processors with a Control Subnet (CP3N/AV3/PRO3/CP4N/AV4/PRO4), there are some additional considerations and setup that must be performed: 
70 70  ** Connect to the processor via Text Console and run the command: ##startprogafterrouter on##
71 71  *** This will force the processor to wait until the router has started before attempting to load the ShowRunnerCLC™ program, avoiding potential license validation issues if the processor boots up before the router.
72 +*** ShowRunnerCLC™ version 3.042 and newer .puf files have a "Configure Processor with Router" section which runs this command automatically.
72 72  ** 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.
73 -** 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. If lighting hardware is to be connected via the LAN anyway, run the command: ##securegateway default##
74 +** Lighting control hardware (e.g. TSWs, DIN-CENCN-2s, etc.) should be left in DHCP mode and connected to the Control Subnet port.
75 +*** The processor acts as a DHCP server on the Control Subnet, with addresses that are determined automatically based on the LAN configuration.
76 +*** If lighting hardware is to be connected via the LAN anyway, then you must run the command: ##securegateway default##
74 74  *** Note: this setting enables unsecure connections to the processor from the LAN. This is necessary if ZUMNET-JBOXs or other non-secure Crestron devices (such as 3-Series EISC) will be connected via the LAN port of the processor
75 -** The Control Subnet will automatically configure itself based on the LAN configuration, but it can optionally be configured manually:
78 +** The Control Subnet will automatically configure itself based on the LAN configuration, but it should be configured manually if the processor is to be connected to building LAN as the default scheme may cause networking issues:
76 76  *** Using the "Functions>Ethernet Addressing...>Control Subnet" menu of Toolbox:
77 77  **** Set routing to "Manual" with the start address and subnet size
78 78  **** E.g., a setting of "100.64.0.0/20" will have the processor at 10.64.0.1 with an IP mask of 255.255.240.0 and a default gateway and DNS server at 100.64.0.2
