Overview

Prior to 2021, it has been possible to access the SHOWRUNNER™ XPanel (a virtual touch panel interface) by connecting a laptop or computer to the lighting network and navigating to http://x.x.x.x/core3xpanel.html from a Flash-enabled web browser (where "x.x.x.x" is replaced with the processor's IP Address).

After December 2020, Flash will no longer function, meaning that it will no longer be possible to access the XPanel in this way. (Note, using  http://x.x.x.x/cws/showrunner/main to access SHOWRUNNER™ reports and management will still be possible.) Instead, the XPanel must be accessed using a .vtz file that corresponds to the version of SHOWRUNNER™ currently running on the processor. 

Using the .vtz File

To access the SHOWRUNNER™ XPanel using a .vtz file, a few prerequisites must be met. 

First, download the XPanel Installer for either Mac or Windows.

To access the SHOWRUNNER™ UI using the .vtz file:

    Download the .vtz file: https://files.chiefintegrations.com/s/EJZDEyHHt8kqBRg

Download the XPanel Installer for either Mac or Windows: https://files.chiefintegrations.com/s/KpaoRcXYQ7GsawA

Open the .vtz using the XPanel Installer

Press Options>Host Settings.

Set the IP address to 10.0.0.10, the port to 41794, and the IP-ID to 12
