3 -Prior to 2021, it has been possible to access the ShowRunnerCLC™ XPanel (a virtual touch panel interface) by connecting a laptop or computer to the lighting network and navigating to [[http:~~/~~/(ProcessorIpAddress)/Core3XPanel.html>>url:http://ProcessorIpAddress/Core3XPanel.html]] from a Flash-enabled Web browser (where "(ProcessorIpAddress)" is replaced with the processor's IP Address).

5 -After December 2020, Flash will no longer function, meaning that it will no longer be possible to access the XPanel in this way. (Note, [[ShowRunnerCLC™ Reports and Management>>path:/get/SHOWRUNNER%E2%84%A2%20User%20Guide%20%26%20Wiki/User%20Guide/?sheet=CKEditor.ResourceDispatcher&outputSyntax=plain&language=en&type=doc&reference=SHOWRUNNER%E2%84%A2+User+Guide+%26+Wiki.Reports.WebHome&typed=true]] will still be available.) Instead, the XPanel must be accessed using an alternate method depending on which version of ShowRunner is currently running on the processor.
