=== IP Configuration ===

27

28

* Connect to the processor via USB and set the processor’s IP Address per your network requirements

29

** 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

30

*** 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

31

*** In the event that the processor does not allow you to log in with the chosen credentials (i.e. it repeatedly prompts for credentials)

32

**** Attempt to log in with username "crestron" and no password

33

**** Once logged into Text Console, run the following commands, replacing the "username" and "password" with your desired credentials

34

***** ##adduser -N:username -P:password##

35

***** ##addusertogroup -N:username -G:Administrators##

36

** 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)

37

*** Disable DHCP: ##dhcp 0 off##

38

*** Set IP address: ##ipa 0 10.0.0.10##

39

*** Set IP subnet mask: ##ipm 0 255.255.255.0##

40

*** Set default gateway: ##defr 0 10.0.0.1##

41

*** Set hostname: ##host AP3-CPP##

42

*** Reboot the processor: ##reboot##

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

*** Configure your DHCP server software to assign IP addresses in the desired range

45

*** Once the processor is assigned an IP address, connect to it via Text Console at the assigned IP address

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), additional setup is required

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 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

** The Control Subnet can be configured manually in the "Functions>Ethernet Addressing...>Control Subnet" menu of Toolbox

53

*** Set routing to "Manual" with the start address and subnet size

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

** The Control Subnet can also be configured using Text Console command: ##csrouterprefix 10.0.0.0/24##

56

* If the job has multiple processors, then these steps must be repeated for all processors on the job

57

** For jobs with Central Control, the IP addresses of the processors matters

58

** Chief Integrations will provide an SRTakeoff.xlsx spreadsheet with an IP Table tab that lists the IP address for each processor. If these IP addresses must be changed during startup, then it will be necessary to also change the IP addresses in the Remote System Definition in the configuration file

59

** See the[[ CoAP Setup Guide>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Integrations Guide.Integration Options.CoAP with Crestron S# Library and Modules.CoAP ShowRunner to ShowRunner Setup Instructions.WebHome]] for details

=== Program Load ===

* Download the latest build of SHOWRUNNER™ [[https:~~/~~/files.chiefintegrations.com/s/WHNzXrrZbB5jC3E>>url:https://files.chiefintegrations.com/s/WHNzXrrZbB5jC3E]]

64

* 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.

65

** While it is possible to load the program via USB, it is not recommended because the transfer speed is significantly slower than loading via Ethernet

66

* Double click the PUF to open the Package Update Tool and install SHOWRUNNER™ (works best with Toolbox closed)

67

** The Package Update Tool will automatically open your Address Book and prompt you to select a device

68

*** If you have not created an Address Book for this job, close the Address Book window and press the pencil icon

69

*** Type in the IP address of your processor and click "OK"

70

** Double check that the correct PUF file is listed under the "Package Info" section and that the correct IP address is listed under "Target"

71

** Press the "Recheck" button

72

** Make sure that all three tasks are selected ("Load ShowRunner Program", "Update Crestron App", and "Update XPanel")

73

** Press the "Update" button to begin loading SHOWRUNNER™

74

* Sometimes the PUF tool will falsely report a failure to load the program

75

** Connect to the processor via Text Console

76

** Run the command ##sr ver##

77

** If the console returns with the newly installed version of SHOWRUNNER™, then the installation was successful

78

** If the console returns with "Bad or Incomplete Command (sr)" then the installation was not successful

79

*** Rename the .puf file to be a .zip file and open the archive

80

**** Some file archivers (such as 7-Zip) allow you to right click on the PUF file and open the archive without changing the filetype

81

*** Extract the "CI.Lighting.ShowRunner.cpz" file

82

*** In Toolbox, connect to the processor via Text Console and click the lightning bolt icon and select "SIMPL Program..."

83

*** Under the "Send" section, browse your PC and select the extracted .cpz file

84

*** Click the "Send" button and click "Yes" to upload the program

85

*** Once it is done loading, you should be able to run the ##sr ver## command and see the currently installed version of SHOWRUNNER™

86

* Once SHOWRUNNER™ is loaded, you can connect to the UI by navigating to the processor’s IP. A license and configuration file are still required.

87

** **3-Series processors require authentication enabled** (SSL self can be used but steps will need to be repeated).

88

** If stuck on "Connecting to Processor" you will need to accept the certificate.

89

* For jobs with multiple processors, SHOWRUNNER™ will need to be loaded to each processor.

90

91

=== License and Configuration Deployment ===

92

93

* Download the SrConfig.json or CiLightingConfig.json configuration file from the link provided by Chief Integrations

94

* Obtain and download the license from [[https:~~/~~/portal.chiefintegrations.com>>url:https://portal.chiefintegrations.com]]

95

** Processors with a Control Subnet should use the LAN MAC address, **not** the Control Subnet MAC address

96

* The license and configuration can be loaded with Toolbox using Text Console and File Management, or through the showrunnerHUB™ web interface

97

** Using Toolbox:

98

*** Connect to the processor via Text Console and via File Management

99

*** In File management, navigate to the "NVRAM>sr" folder from the left-hand menu

100

*** Right-click on the right-hand side and select "Copy File(s) From..." and select the downloaded License.lic file

101

**** Alternatively, drag and drop the file from your computer to the File Management tool

102

*** Using the left-hand menu, navigate to the "NVRAM>sr>default" folder

103

*** Right-click on the right-hand side and select "Copy File(s) From..." and select the downloaded SrConfig.json file

104

**** Alternatively, drag and drop the file from your computer to the File Management tool

105

**** If you downloaded a CiLightingConfig.json file, it must be renamed to "SrConfig.json"

106

** Using the showrunnerHUB™ UI:

107

*** Using Chrome or Firefox, navigate to the processor's IP address

108

*** When prompted, input your credentials and log in

109

**** 4-Series processor or 3-Series processor with authentication enabled: Log in using the same admin credentials used to connect to the processor

110

**** 3-Series processor without authentication enabled: Connect to the processor via Text Console and run the following command, replacing the "username", "name" and "password" with your desired credentials.

111

***** ##sradmin username "name" administrators password##

112

***** The username and password should be one word each and are the credentials used to log in to the showrunnerHUB™

113

***** The name can be multiple words as long as it is in quotes, and is simply a friendly name used to identify each user.

114

*** Once logged in to the showrunnerHUB™ UI, you should be automatically redirected to the File Management page.

115

**** If you are not automatically redirected, then you can navigate to this page by clicking "Setup" in the top right and then selecting "File Management" from the list on the left
