15 -TSWs should be configured with static IP addresses in the same range as the processor. This can be done from the TSW itself by entering into setup mode:
15 +Typically, each TSW touch panel will need to be initially configured using the TSW user interface at the panel, unless their MAC addresses are already known and the lighting network has a DHCP server. If the DHCP server on the network is temporary (e.g. DHCP server software running on your computer or a processor utilizing the [[ShowRunner™ DHCP Server>>url:https://wiki.chiefintegrations.com/SHOWRUNNER%E2%84%A2%20Setup%20Guide/Troubleshooting%20Guide/Advanced%20Tools/DHCP%20Server/]]), then static IP addresses must be configured. If the DHCP server is permanent (such as a CP4N or ZUM-HUB4 Control Subnet), then only the IP table needs to be configured for the devices.

19 +If the lighting network has a permanent DHCP server, then TSWs only require their IP table to be configured, though it is good practice to also record or update their hostname. If the MAC addresses for the TSWs are not known, then the best way to update their configuration is from the TSW itself by entering into setup mode:
