cross reference/update to old zumnet startup?

basic steps: 

  • configure your processor per chief's startup guide
  • get all zumnet jbox online
    • use built in dhcp from processor control subnet
    • if using proc without control subnet, use showrunner dhcp
    • (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)
  • use crestron toolbox device discovery to create a Device Summary
  • use chief tools tm tool to generate various zum wired load scripts
    • (need to determine exact process for this; will need to add IP-ID and new hostname to device summary somehow)
    • (will likely generate two versions of the loadscripts; one connecting by default hostname and one connecting by new hostname)
    • (intend to require SR license for zwired LS generator, if only to get the proc mac address)
  • 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
    • devices will reboot
    • per crestron, 1.0006.00012 and newer ship in primary mode (tbd if they will ship in app mode?)
  • connect to a few devices in device discovery tool to ensure that all zumlink devices were automatically readdressed and there are no conflicting cids
    • firmware 1.0001.00081 is new enough that this works correctly
  • run "fw update (def. hostname)" loadscript to update the fw for all devices
    • will take up to several minutes per room, but will be able to do up to 10 rooms simultaneously
    • devices will reboot, possibly multiple times
    • 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)
  • run device discovery again to confirm that all zumnet boxes were updated
    • 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
  • if app mode backup is desired, configure the boxes using the app now
  • run "ip config (def. hostname)" loadscript to update device IP-IDs and hostnames
    • devices will reboot
    • devices will now have new hostnames, so any further loadscripts should use (new hostname) versions
  • run "cnet mode (def. hostname)" loadscript to put devices into CNET mode
    • if app mode backup is desired, also run "autoswitch enable (def. hostname)" loadscript
    • devices will reboot
  • if using a processor without control subnet, run the "static ip config (new hostname)" script
    • 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
    • (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)
  • once done, commission job essentially as normal showrunner job
    • (sr commissioning guide is incomplete
    • connect to each zumnet jbox and address zumlink devices per the takeoff
      • if devices are not online, then troubleshoot why and update firmware through device tree view once they are online
    • occ timeouts can be adjusted through UI; other settings (ie reach) should be adjusted through app
    • photocells etc are set up through UI
    • loads teseted and verified through UI; can be moved around between controllers as necessary
      • loads don't need to be in the same room as the zumnet that controls them
    • keypads can use standard SR types or be fully customized
    • set up schedule, etc.
  • once done, save and back up configuration file
