91 +Completely standalone Zūm Wired designs are possible, but they have some important benefits and drawbacks to consider.
92 92  
93 +Some benefits of a standalone Zūm Wired system are:
94 +
95 +* Reduced installation time and cost as no Zūm Net cabling is required between rooms
96 +* Reduced hardware cost as no ZUM-HUB4 or networking hardware is required
97 +
98 +Some drawbacks of a standalone Zūm Wired system are:
99 +
100 +* As of 2/2023, ZUMNET-JBOX-* devices ship with factory settings that are incompatible with an App only startup, resulting in extra expense to configure and update devices prior to installation or extra time spent during startup to accomplish these tasks post-installation:
101 +** ZUMNET-JBOX-* devices must be manually set to Zūm App mode
102 +** ZUMNET-JBOX-* devices must be manually set to Primary mode
103 +** Updating firmware with the Crestron Zūm App is not possible with out-of-the-box firmware and must be initially done through Toolbox
104 +* ZUMNET-JBOX-* devices can only be connected to and configured via the App if there is a ZUMLINK-KP on their Zūm Link bus. During start-up, a technician must bring a ZUMLINK-KP with them to connect to the ZUMNET-JBOX for any rooms that were not designed to have a ZUMLINK-KP
105 +* No scheduling capabilities
106 +* No cross-room control capabilities (i.e., ZUMLINK-* keypads and occupancy sensors are restricted to controlling loads that are attached to the same ZUMNET-JBOX as they are)
107 +* No support for Cresnet devices
108 +* No support for third-party integrations beyond the override contact-closure relay at each ZUMNET/ZUMLINK-JBOX and the relay output of any *-RLY model occupancy sensors
109 +* No support for DMX control

139 +There are a handful of limitations to keep in mind when designing Zūm Wired systems, with different restrictions applying to Zūm Net and Zūm Link:
114 114  
115 -Lorem
141 +Zūm Net limitations:
142 +
143 +* Do not exceed 100m or 328' between subsequent ZUMNET-JBOX-* devices, or between the first ZUMNET-JBOX and the network switch
144 +* Do not exceed 20 ZUMNET-JBOX-* devices on a single run of Zūm Net
145 +* Do not "loop" Zūm Net cables (i.e., cables should start at the network switch and end at the last ZUMNET-JBOX, without a returning cable from the last device back to the switch)
146 +
147 +Zūm Link limitations:
148 +
149 +* Do not exceed 31 ZUMLINK-* and Cresnet devices on a single ZUMNET-JBOX-* device
150 +* Do not exceed 85mA of 24VDC power consumption per ZUMNET/ZUMLINK-JBOX-* device on the Zūm Link bus
151 +** Each ZUMNET/ZUMLINK-JBOX-* is limited to 85mA of 24VDC output shared across their Zūm Link ports and sensor inputs
152 +** Power is shared between ZUMNET/ZUMLINK-JBOX-* devices on a single Zūm Link bus, so adding more ZUMNET/ZUMLINK-JBOX-* devices to a network increases the available power
153 +** ZUMLINK-IR-QUATTRO-HD-DLS/RLY occupancy sensors are rated at 32mA of power consumption
154 +** Other ZUMLINK-OCC-* sensors are rated at 25mA of power consumption each
155 +** ZUMLINK-KP keypads do not have a listed power consumption, but designing for approximately 20mA is safe
156 +* Available power on the Zūm Link bus can be increased by adding additional ZUMLILNK-JBOX-* devices, or by adding a separate power pack to provide power for non-system sensors or Cresnet devices on the Zūm Link bus
