7 +SHOWRUNNER™ provides a number of benefits over using the default program. These benefits are covered in detail on our [[Crestron Zūm Wired and SHOWRUNNER™>>doc:Design Guide.Hardware Design Guide.Crestron Zum Wired.Crestron Zum Wired Overview.WebHome]], but one of the largest benefits are the tools included with SHOWRUNNER™ to make Zūm Wired start-ups go as smoothly as possible.

16 +SHOWRUNNER™ includes a Zūm Wired Discovery feature that makes it easy to import Zūm Rooms that have been configured in App Mode into an existing SHOWRUNNER™ configuration. The process for starting up a system using this method is the same as starting up any other networked installation in App Mode, but with the added steps of installing SHOWRUNNER and importing Zūm Rooms into the configuration.

18 +Installing SHOWRUNNER™ on different processors is covered in our [[startup pages>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation and Network Setup.WebHome]], while importing Zūm Rooms is covered in the [[Zūm Wired Discovery>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation Guide.Device Addressing.Zūm Discovery.WebHome]] page.

22 +Using SHOWRUNNER™ to control a networked Zūm Wired installation with ZUMNET-JBOXs running in CNET mode is the recommended way of using SHOWRUNNER™ with Zūm Wired. This is also the only way to gain control of legacy Cresnet devices (such as GL-EXP-DIMU-CN, C2N-IO, and GLS-PART-CN) that are connected to a ZUMNET-JBOX, as these Cresnet devices are not recognized or supported by the Crestron Zūm App.

28 -Though it is possible to design a Zūm Wired system to use the standard ZUM-HUB4 program and then import rooms from SHOWRUNNER™, it is not recommended as it adds the expense of a custom program without taking advantage of any of the added functionality that SHOWRUNNER™ has to offer.
29 -Instead, to take full advantage of everything that SHOWRUNNER™ has to offer, follow these best practices:
30 -* Design the system to use SHOWRUNNER™ as the main program
31 -* Set ZUMNET-JBOX-* devices in CNET mode after any App-specific configurations have been made

28 +
29 +The steps for configuring a networked Zūm Wired installation with SHOWRUNNER™ are:
30 +
31 +1. Install SHOWRUNNER™ and configure the processor per our [[startup guides>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation and Network Setup.WebHome]]
32 +1*. If using a processor without a dedicated Control Subnet, follow the [[additional steps detailed below>>doc:Design Guide.Hardware Design Guide.Crestron Zum Wired.Starting Up Zum Wired with SHOWRUNNER.WebHome||anchor="HToolsforStaticallyConfiguredLightingNetworks"]]
33 +1. Verify that all expected ZUMNET-JBOX-* devices are reporting online using the Device Discovery tool in Toolbox
34 +1*. Your laptop and the ZUMNET-JBOXs should all be connected to the Control Subnet
35 +1*. If there are missing ZUMNET-JBOXs, verify with the EC that the devices are powered and that the Zūm Net cabling is correct
36 +1*. Recall that any ZUMNET-JBOX that is unpowered or disconnected will prevent downstream ZUMNET-JBOXs from coming online
37 +1. Once all hardware is online, use the [[Device Discovery Tool>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation Guide.Preparation.Toolbox Basics.WebHome||anchor="HDeviceDiscoveryTool"]] in Toolbox to [[export a Device Summary>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation Guide.Preparation.Toolbox Basics.WebHome||anchor="HExporttoDeviceSummary"]] file
38 +1*. These steps can still be followed even if not all the hardware is online
39 +1*. If not all the hardware is online, then these steps will need to be repeated and the loadscripts run just for the previously offline devices
40 +1*. Alternatively, if there are only a few previously offline devices, then they can be [[configured and updated manually>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation and Network Setup.ZUMNET-JBOX Setup.WebHome]]
41 +1. Add columns for hostname ("Host", J) and IP-ID ("IP-ID", K) as shown below[[image:1680131811288-423.png]]
42 +1. Fill out these columns for each of the ZUMNET-JBOXs in the device summary
43 +1*. If there is no default gateway or DNS, use the processor's IP address instead
44 +1*. If this information has already been filled out in the SHOWRUNNER™ Takeoff IP Table sheet, then it is easy to copy/paste from the takeoff into the Device Summary .csv by sorting and filtering the two documents by MAC address
45 +
46 +* use crestron toolbox device discovery to create a [[Device Summary>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation Guide.Preparation.Toolbox Basics.WebHome||anchor="HDeviceDiscoveryTool"]]
47 +* use chief tools tm tool to generate various zum wired load scripts
48 +** (need to determine exact process for this; will need to add IP-ID and new hostname to device summary somehow)
49 +** (will likely generate two versions of the loadscripts; one connecting by default hostname and one connecting by new hostname)
50 +** (intend to require SR license for zwired LS generator, if only to get the proc mac address)
51 +* if firmware is old, run "zwms master/zum (def. hostname)" loadscript to make all ZUMNET JBOX primary and in app mode in order to enable discovery of devices on zumlink
52 +** devices will reboot
53 +** per crestron, 1.0006.00012 and newer ship in primary mode (**tbd if they will ship in app mode?**)
54 +* connect to a few devices in device discovery tool to ensure that all zumlink devices were automatically readdressed and there are no conflicting cids
55 +** firmware 1.0001.00081 is new enough that this works correctly
56 +* run "fw update (def. hostname)" loadscript to update the fw for all devices
57 +** will take up to several minutes per room, but will be able to do up to 10 rooms simultaneously
58 +** devices will reboot, possibly multiple times
59 +** check loadscript manager for any failures and re-run script for those devices if necessary (a rebooting zumnet box will temporarily disrupt online status for downstream zumnet jboxs and potentially interrupt the firmware update)
60 +* run device discovery again to confirm that all zumnet boxes were updated
61 +** zumnet boxes update last, so if a zumnet jbox is updated then this means that all of the zumlink devices that were online have also been updated
62 +* if app mode backup is desired, configure the boxes using the app now
63 +* run "ip config (def. hostname)" loadscript to update device IP-IDs and hostnames
64 +** devices will reboot
65 +** devices will now have new hostnames, so any further loadscripts should use (new hostname) versions
66 +* run "cnet mode (def. hostname)" loadscript to put devices into CNET mode
67 +** if app mode backup is desired, also run "autoswitch enable (def. hostname)" loadscript
68 +** devices will reboot
69 +* if using a processor without control subnet, run the "static ip config (new hostname)" script
70 +** this loadscript is necessary, as the showrunner DHCP server is only intended for commissioning. It must always be manually started after program restart and should not be used in production
71 +** (**will probably need a lot of extra steps + alterations to how we make configs since static IPs require a lot more information as well as corresponding modifications to SrConfig.json**)
72 +* once done, commission job essentially as normal showrunner job
73 +** (**sr commissioning guide is incomplete**)
74 +** connect to each zumnet jbox and address zumlink devices per the takeoff
75 +*** if devices are not online, then troubleshoot why and update firmware through device tree view once they are online
76 +** occ timeouts can be adjusted through UI; other settings (ie reach) should be adjusted through app
77 +** photocells etc are set up through UI
78 +** loads teseted and verified through UI; can be moved around between controllers as necessary
79 +*** loads don't need to be in the same room as the zumnet that controls them
80 +** keypads can use standard SR types or be fully customized
81 +** set up schedule, etc.
82 +* once done, save and back up configuration file
83 +
84 += Tools for Statically Configured Lighting Networks =
85 +
86 +Unlike installations using the default program, SHOWRUNNER™ offers the opportunity to reduce the cost of hardware by enabling the use of any 3 or 4-Series processor, rather than being restricted to using the ZUM-HUB4 exclusively. Some of these other processors (DIN-AP4, RMC4, etc.) do not include a Control Subnet with built-in router, which requires the use of static IP addresses if the lighting network is to remain independent and there is no router specified to manage traffic on the lighting network. SHOWRUNNER™ includes several built-in features to assist with these sort of startups without requiring a Technician to bring their own router.
87 +
88 +This section does not apply to processors with a built in Control Subnet (CP4N, AV4, PRO4, ZUM-HUB4, etc.) or lighting networks that are fully integrated with a managed building LAN.
89 +
90 +The steps for statically configuring a networked Zūm Wired installation with SHOWRUNNER™ are:
91 +
92 +1. [[Configure the static IP address>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation and Network Setup.Processor Setup.WebHome||anchor="HIPConfiguration"]] for the processor and [[install SHOWRUNNER™>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation and Network Setup.Processor Setup.WebHome||anchor="HProgramLoad"]]
93 +1. Use SHOWRUNNER™'s built in [[DHCP server>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.Troubleshooting Guide.Advanced Tools.DHCP Server.WebHome]]
94 +1*. If you want to use specific static IP addresses for specific ZUMNET-JBOXs, use the SHOWRUNNER™ UI and set the DHCP range outside of the range you intend to use for the ZUMNET-JBOXs
95 +1*. If arbitrary static IP addresses are acceptable, then use the default IP address range
96 +1. Proceed with the standard [[CNET Mode>>doc:Design Guide.Hardware Design Guide.Crestron Zum Wired.Starting Up Zum Wired with SHOWRUNNER.WebHome||anchor="HCNETMode28SHOWRUNNER2122TotalControl29"]] start-up procedure from step 2
97 +1. Once the standard start-up procedure has been completed, [[export a new Device Summary>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation Guide.Preparation.Toolbox Basics.WebHome||anchor="HExporttoDeviceSummary"]] file
98 +1. Change the Device Summary filetype to ".csv" and open in Microsoft Excel
99 +1. Add columns for hostname ("Host", J), IP-ID ("IP-ID", K), static IP address ("IPA", L), static IP subnet mask ("IPM", M), default gateway ("DEFR", N), and domain name server ("DNS", O) as shown below[[image:1680131807403-927.png]]
100 +1. Fill out these columns for each of the ZUMNET-JBOXs in the device summary
101 +1*. If there is no default gateway or DNS, use the processor's IP address instead
102 +1*. "IP-ID" column is optional
103 +1*. If this information has already been filled out in the SHOWRUNNER™ Takeoff IP Table sheet, then it is easy to copy/paste from the takeoff into the Device Summary .csv by sorting and filtering the two documents by MAC address
104 +1. Use the modified Device Summary file and Chief Integrations' Zūm Wired Loadscript Generator Tool to generate a loadscript that connects to devices by their hostname and sets their static IP settings
105 +1*. Up to 10 devices can be configured simultaneously
106 +1*. Devices will reboot once this script is run
107 +1. Verify that all devices report completing successfully in the Loadscript Manager tool
108 +1. If desired, export a new Device Summary file as a record that this step was completed successfully
109 +1. If desired, disable the processor's DHCP service (the service will not resume if the processor reboots or the program restarts)
