59 -== ShowRunnerHUB™ Web UI ==
77 +Instead, you must add "/cws/showrunner/app/" after the IP address in order to access the Web UI (e.g. [[https:~~/~~/100.64.0.1/cws/showrunner/app/>>https://100.64.0.1/cws/showrunner/app]]) **DO NOT OMIT THE LAST "/"**

61 -The ShowRunner™ configuration should be uploaded to the processor using the ShowRunnerHUB™ Web UI. To access the ShowRunnerHUB™ Web UI, it is necessary to navigate to the following URL:
62 -
63 -* https:~/~/**vc-4ip**/VirtualControl/Rooms/**ROOMID**/cws/showrunner/app/
64 -* Bold portions should be modified with your specific IP and Room ID [the Room ID is case sensitive]

77 -
78 -* Extract the CI_ShowRunner_TSW-770.vtz file from the CI_ShowRunner_v3.x.puf file used to install ShowRunnerCLC™
79 -** Some applications such as 7-Zip are able to open .puf files directly using the right-click context menu to open the archive
80 -** If you do not have these programs installed, then it is necessary to change the file type from .puf to .zip so that Windows will recognize it as an archive and allow you to extract files from it
81 -** Computers with lower resolutions may find it easier to use the TSW-760 UI instead of
82 -* Launch the .vtz file using Crestron XPanel
83 -* Select Options>Host Settings and fill out the fields with the required information:
84 -** VC-4 IP address
85 -** XPanel IP-ID (default 12, but editable in the config)
