3	3	Though a pre-construction site-visit may seem like a wasted expense, by communicating expectations and requirements to the electrical contractor prior to startup you are actually able to save time and headache on-site. For large jobs especially, taking the time to ensure a proper installation will save hours or days during startup. Any time spent by a technician on-site tracking down serial numbers or troubleshooting/correcting a poor installation is a waste that could have been avoided with good communication and instruction prior to and throughout the installation process.

	20	+*** **Do** follow the same rules as Ethernet for both Zūm Net and Zūm Link terminations/cable length
	21	+*** **Do not** mix up Zūm Net and Zūm Link cables
30	30	** Follow the load schedule
31	31	* Serial number collection
32	32	** SNs should be collected for all networked devices (all Cresnet devices and Zūm Wired devices)
33		-*** If possible, SNs should be provided prior to startup. This way they can be put into the configuration prior to arriving on-site
34	34	** The EC does not need to collect SNs for non-system devices (e.g. Crestron NS occupancy sensors, Steinel occupancy sensors, LDL photocells, and GLPPA-KP keypads
35	35	** It is important to not just have a list of SNs on-site, but to be able to associate individual SNs with specific installed devices
36	36	** The easiest way to do this is to write the SNs of installed devices on the floor plans or riser diagram as they are installed
37	37	* MAC address collection (optional)
38	38	** Collecting MAC addresses is redundant if serial numbers are provided
