59 59  Controlled hardware such as Cresnet and infinetEX devices are less frequently updated, but nonetheless will occasionally require firmware updates. ZUMLINK devices should always be updated, but these devices are automatically updated whenever their host ZUMNET device is updated as long as the ZUMLINK device is online and uniquely addressed.

66 +* Open Network Device Tree View in Toolbox and connect to the host device (i.e. the processor, DIN-CENCN-2, or gateway) for the devices that need to be updated

70 +** If there is a red "Duplicate Network ID" icon, resolve the duplicate network ID by changing the device address
71 +** If there is a black "Invalid TSID" or "Duplicate TSID" icon, verify that there are no wiring issues on the Cresnet bus and resolve the duplicate/invalid TSID

81 +** If the firmware fails to update multiple times, then it may be necessary to try restarting the host device, isolating the device to be updated, or performing other troubleshooting to ensure that there are no wiring issues or issues with the specific device caused by poor installation, damage during shipping, or factory defects

85 +Zūm Wired devices are unique among Crestron devices in the fact that the Zūm Link (controlled hardware) device firmware is built into the Zūm Net (networked device) firmware files, and these Zūm Link devices will be updated whenever the host Zūm Net device is updated (with a few caveats mentioned below). While the firmware files for individual Zūm Link devices can be extracted from the "zum-wired_XXX.puf" file using archive tools such as 7-Zip, it is still generally recommended to update Zūm Link firmware using the Package Update Tool whenever possible.

89 +* **All Zūm Link devices must be uniquely addressed**
90 +** Setting the Zūm Net device to primary mode using the command ##zwps primary## will allow it to discover all connected Zūm Link devices
91 +** Setting the Zūm Net device to App/Zūm mode using the command ##zwmode zum## will cause it to reboot and re-address all connected Zūm Link devices
92 +* **All Zūm Link devices should be online before performing firmware updates**
93 +** Ensuring that all devices are online saves time by allowing you to perform the firmware update only once as well as avoids any issues that may be caused by incorrect Zūm Link wiring
94 +** Any Zūm Link wiring issues on a given Zūm Net device must be resolved prior to updating the Zūm Wired firmware
95 +* ZUMNET-JBOX-* devices will reboot as part of the firmware update process; since ZUMNET-JBOX-* devices are typically daisy chained, this means that connectivity with downstream devices will be lost momentarily
96 +** While we have not seen damage to devices as a result of this, it does mean that sometimes the firmware fails to transfer and the firmware update needs to be restarted on the devices where connectivity was lost
97 +* Zūm Link devices can still be updated directly (without updating firmware for the Zūm Net box) using the Network Device Tree View method mentioned above
98 +** Note that the individual Zūm Link firmware will need to be extracted from the "zum-wired_XXX.puf" file in order to load it
