Chief Integrations cannot provide assistance unless the credentials are known. The only way to connect to a device for which the credentials have been lost is to factory reset the device, which may require redoing the start-up from scratch if the latest configuration was not saved and backed up. **

71 71  *** Once the processor is assigned an IP address, connect to it via Text Console at the assigned IP address
72 72  *** Run the above commands to disable DHCP and assign a static IP address to the processor
73 73  * For processors with a Control Subnet (CP3N/AV3/PRO3/CP4N/AV4/PRO4), there are some additional considerations and setup that must be performed: 
74 -** Never connect an external router to the Control Subnet, as doing so will cause the internal DHCP server to shut down.
72 +** **Never **connect an external router to the Control Subnet, as doing so will cause the internal DHCP server to shut down.
73 +** **Never **set the LAN IP address to an address that is in the range of the Control Subnet
74 +*** e.g. for a processor with the default 172.22.0.0/20 Control Subnet configuration, the LAN IP address must be below 172.22.0.0 or above 172.22.15.255
75 +** **Always** set devices on the Control Subnet to DHCP so that their IP addresses are managed by the built-in DHCP server. Only set static IP addresses on the Control Subnet if you really know what you are doing.
76 +*** If setting static IP addresses on the Control Subnet for any reason: **always** assign an address within the Control Subnet range, but **never** use the first two or the last address in the range
77 +*** e.g. for a processor with the default 172.22.0.0/20 Control Subnet configuration, IP addresses must be in the range 172.22.0.3 through 172.22.15.254
78 +**** 172.22.0.0 is not a valid address, 172.22.0.1 is taken by the processor, 172.22.0.2 is taken by the DHCP server (default gateway), and 172.22.15.255 is the broadcast address for the Control Subnet
75 75  ** Connect to the processor via Text Console and run the command: ##startprogafterrouter on##
76 76  *** 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.
77 77  *** ShowRunnerCLC™ .puf versions 3.042 and newer automatically run this command when the "Configure Processor with Router" option is selected.
