66 -Designs for Zūm Wired systems are broadly categorized as either "standalone" or "networked" designs. 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.

72 72  Standalone Zūm Wired designs consist of completely independent Zūm Rooms. 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.
