7 Crestron Zūm Wired is a distributed lighting control platform that utilizes advanced sensors and industry standard dimming protocols to provide automated control of a building's lighting.

9 This article includes some best practices to put in place during installation to ensure a smooth start-up with minimal troubleshooting.

13 Communication between Zūm Wired devices is achieved using two different communications protocols, Zūm Net and Zūm Link. Both protocols use Cat5e or Cat6 cable with RJ-45 terminations, but the purpose and specifications for each protocol are different and it is important not to mix them up in the field in order to avoid damaging the control hardware or processor.
14
15 **Zūm Net** is used to provide networked communication between individual ZUMNET-JBOX-* devices and the processor. Zūm Net uses purple ports on ZUMNET-JBOX-* and connects back to the network switch at the processor panel.
16
17 **Zūm Link** ports are used to connect ZUMLINK-* devices within a room back to the main ZUMNET-JBOX-* controller for the room.

33 Zūm Wired lighting controllers are primarily junction-box mounted devices (ZUMNET-JBOX-* and ZUMLINK-JBOX-* models), with only some models (ZUMLINK-EXP-DIMU) being wall-mounted. Zūm Wired sensors can be mounted in a variety of ways, using either junction-boxes or mounting directly to the ceiling. Zūm Wired keypads (wall switches) mount using single-gang boxes.
