2 2  TSW-xx70 firmware versions 2.001.0058 and above require a pingable gateway be specified in order to use static IP settings. If no default gateway is set, or the default gateway cannot be pinged, then odd network behavior and system instability may result. Pingability of a given address can be checked using the console command: ##ping [IP address]##

7 7  TSWs touchscreens allow end users and technicians access to the SHOWRUNNER™ XPanel UI for both initial startup and daily use. Once the TSW has been configured and the SHOWRUNNER™ project has been loaded to it, it is possible to restrict what features can be accessed without entering a PIN code by navigating to Settings>Security Settings on the TSW. If the User Passcode is enabled, then a PIN will be required to access any of the touchscreen's UI. If the Setup Passcode is enabled, then the main Area Overview menu will be accessible, but anything in the Settings menu and beyond will require a PIN.

9 9  For TSWs, their IP address does not matter as long as it is in the same range as the processor and does not conflict with any other devices on the network. Instead, TSWs are identified to the processor via their IP-ID. Each SHOWRUNNER™ job ships by default with two touchscreens in the configuration, at IP-IDs 10 and 11. If a job has more than two touchscreens, then additional touchscreens will be added to the configuration, typically starting at IP-ID 14. Refer to the IP Table sheet in the provided SRTakeoff.xlsx spreadsheet, or run the ##ipt -t ##command from the processor after the configuration is loaded if no spreadsheet was provided.
