1 -ShowRunner version 3.009 or newer has an internal DHCP Server that can be enabled to assist with setup.  This eliminates the need to run a personal router to address devices on the local network.
1 +SHOWRUNNER™ now includes an internal DHCP server to make large startups even easier, without the need to run a personal router or third party software to address devices on the local network. Assigning IP addresses using a DHCP server makes it possible to discover devices in the Device Discovery Tool and connect to them via Ethernet for further configuration.

3 -====== Caveats/Notes: ======
3 +There are a few caveats:
4 4  
5 -* The DHCP Server cannot be enabled on processors with routers (PROx/AVx/CPxN).
6 -* The DHCP Server cannot be enabled on VC-4 instances.
7 -* The internal DHCP Server is not designed to be used in production and can only be enabled manually.
8 -* The DHCP Server is never enabled at startup.
9 -* Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Server are imported from the processor's own settings.
5 +* The DHCP Server cannot be enabled on processors with routers (PROx/AVx/CPxN), since these processors already have built in DHCP Servers on their Control Subnet
6 +* The DHCP Server cannot be enabled on VC-4 instances
7 +* The internal DHCP Server is not designed to be used in production and can only be enabled manually. Devices should still be configured with static IP addresses
8 +* The DHCP Server is never enabled at startup
9 +* Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Server are imported from the processor's own settings
10 +* Certain devices (such as GLPACs and GL-IPACs) may refuse to accept a DHCP assigned address if they have been powered up for a period of time without a DHCP server on the network. Power cycling them should resolve this issue
