Both standalone and networked systems should be designed with one ZUMNET-JBOX-* per room or logical control space connected to a number of ZUMLINK-* devices within that same space. In standalone systems, there is no central control processor and no Zūm Net cabling connecting rooms to each other, which reduces the cost and complexity of the installation but also comes with some of its own limitations. Networked systems, by contrast, do have a control processor which provides centralized control of the entire system. Zūm Net cabling is used to daisy-chain ZUMNET-JBOX-* devices together and then connect them to the lighting network for control by the processor. 67 67 68 +Networked systems can be further subdivided into those that use the default program included with ZUM-HUB4 processors and those that use a custom program, such as SHOWRUNNER™.

Each Zūm Room has a single ZUMNET-JBOX-* with any number of ZUMLINK-* devices connected to it. There is no Zūm Net connecting individual rooms, and there is no processor required. This results in a system which has a reduced hardware cost and can theoretically be commissioned and configured entirely by the electrical contractor, however there are some important drawbacks to consider. ... ... @@ -116,6 +116,7 @@ 116 116 * 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) 117 117 * No possibility for remote support or management, as the only way to connect to any of the devices is by being using the Zūm App, which requires being within Bluetooth range of the device 118 118 * Potential security concerns if the default PINs are not changed during start-up 100 +* Not possible to provide a graphical UI (touch screen) 119 119 120 120 == Networked == 121 121 ... ... @@ -137,6 +137,10 @@ 137 137 * Able to meet a wider range of sequences compared to standalone systems 138 138 ** Scheduling capabilities 139 139 ** BMS/BACnet integration 122 +** (% class="box warningmessage" %) 123 +((( 124 +add more 125 +))) 140 140 141 141 === Networked with Default Program === 142 142 ... ... @@ -149,6 +149,7 @@ 149 149 * Requires a ZUM-HUB4 processor (other types of processors can only be used with a custom program) 150 150 * Limited support for Cresnet devices on the Zūm Link bus (n**o support?**) 151 151 * Limited scheduling capabilities 138 +* N**o end-user UI availa**ble 152 152 153 153 === Networked with Custom Program === 154 154
