1 -=== ZUMNET-JBOXs in SHOWRUNNER™ ===
1 +=== Zūm Net Devices in SHOWRUNNER™ ===
2 2  
3 -ZUMNET-JBOXs are part of Crestron's latest Zūm Wired system, acting as an Ethernet-to-Zūm Link bridge to convert between Ethernet and Zūm Link data traffic. This helps avoid issues with bandwidth over the Cresnet bus for jobs which have a large number of Cresnet devices, as well as allowing for additional power supplies to provide power Cresnet devices.
3 +Zūm Net devices are part of Crestron's latest Zūm Wired system, acting as a the main lighting controller for a Zūm Wired room. In networked applications of Zūm Wired, they also act as bridges connecting the local Zūm Link devices in each room to the overall lighting network throughout the building. Since Zūm Link and Cresnet are [[interchangeable>>https://wiki.chiefintegrations.com/SHOWRUNNER%E2%84%A2%20Setup%20Guide/Wiring%20Guide/Wiring%20Overview/Z%C5%ABm%20Net/#HZ16BmLink]], and Zūm Net is an Ethernet protocol, this means that Zūm Net devices can be thought of as single-net DIN-CENCN-2s. As of Summer 2022, there are only two Zūm Net devices that have been announced and are in production: the ZUMNET-JBOX-16A-LV 0-10V load controller and the ZUMNET-JBOX-DALI DALI load controller. Configuring these devices for use with SHOWRUNNER™ is identical, so they will be referred to collectively as ZUMNET-JBOXs for the purposes of this article.

5 -For SHOWRUNNER™ installations, the IP address of the DIN-CENCN-2 does not matter as long as it is in the same range as the processor and does not conflict with any other devices on the network. Instead, DIN-CENCN-2s are identified to the processor via their IP-ID. Note that which Cresnet devices are landed at each Net of each DIN-CENCN-2 matters, and if devices are moved between Nets or between DIN-CENCN-2s then the configuration will need to be updated (see below). Chief Integrations typically provides an SRTakeoff.xlsx spreadsheet with an IP Table tab that lists all the DIN-CENCN-2 IP-IDs in the program. If no takeoff is provided, then the processor's IP table can be checked by running the ##ipt -t ##command from the processor after the configuration is loaded. DIN-CENCN-2's will typically have IP-IDs in the "##Dx##" range.
5 +Much like DIN-CENCN-2s in SHOWRUNNER™ installations, ZUMNET-JBOXs identify themselves to the processor via their IP-ID, so the specific IP address of any given ZUMNET-JBOX does not matter as long as it is in the same range as the processor and does not conflict with any other devices on the network. If hosted devices are moved between ZUMNET-JBOXs, or if the ZUMNET-JBOX needs to have a different IP-ID than it was initially assigned, the configuration will need to be updated (see below). Chief Integrations typically provides an SRTakeoff.xlsx spreadsheet which will list all the Zūm Net and Zūm Link devices and their associated IP-IDs. If no takeoff is provided, then the processor's IP table can be checked by running the ##ipt -t ##command from the processor after the configuration is loaded. ZUMNET-JBOX's will typically start with IP-IDs in the 30-5F range, but can potentially exceed this range.

7 -=== IP Configuration ===
7 +=== Identification and IP Configuration ===
8 8  
9 -Typically, each DIN-CENCN-2 will need to be initially configured via USB, unless their MAC addresses are already known and the lighting network has a DHCP server (either by running DHCP server software on your computer, or if the processor has a control subnet or is running the [[SHOWRUNNER™ DHCP Server>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ User Guide & Wiki.Troubleshooting.DHCP Server.WebHome]]).
9 +Configuring ZUMNET-JBOXs must be done over Ethernet, and is easiest to do once all ZUMNET-JBOXs have been installed, powered up, and connected to the lighting network. (It is not necessary for all Zūm Link devices to be installed in order to configure ZUMNET-JBOXs.)
10 10  
11 -Whether connected to the DIN-CENCN-2 via USB or Ethernet, the process to configure the static IP addresses is the same:
11 +Since there is no option to configure ZUMNET-JBOXs via USB, a DHCP server is required. There are three options for DHCP servers:
12 12  
13 -* Open Text Console in Toolbox and connect to the DIN-CENCN-2
14 -* Run the following commands to configure the DIN-CENCN-2's IP settings (example is for a **10.0.0.0(% style="color:darkgoldenrod" %)/24(%%)** subnet, with a CENCN-2 IP address of (% style="color:blue" %)**10.0.0.12**(%%), a CENCN-2 IP-ID of (% style="color:olive" %)**D1**(%%), a processor IP address of (% style="color:orange" %)**10.0.0.10**(%%), and a hostname of (% style="color:purple" %)**CENCN-L1**(%%))
15 -** Disable DHCP: ##dhcp 0 off##
16 -** Set IP address: ##ipa 0 (% style="color:blue" %)**10.0.0.12**(%%)##
13 +* Using a processor with a Control Subnet (only available on certain processors)
14 +* Using the built-in [[SHOWRUNNER™ DHCP Server>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ User Guide & Wiki.Troubleshooting.DHCP Server.WebHome]] (available on all processors running SHOWRUNNER™ v3.009 or newer)
15 +* Using third party DHCP server software on your computer
16 +
17 +Most devices (DIN-CENCN-2, TSW, ZUMNET-JBOXs) rely only on IP-ID to identify themselves to the processor, but some devices (such as GLPACs, DMX controllers, and other processors) have IP addresses that are explicitly defined in the configuration file. The DHCP server should be configured to assign IP addresses that are visible to the processor, but excluded from assigning these explicitly defined IP addresses if possible.
18 +
19 +Configuring ZUMNET-JBOXs can be broken up into two separate processes:
20 +
21 +1. Identifying which DHCP assigned IP address corresponds to each ZUMNET-JBOX
22 +1. Connecting to each ZUMNET-JBOX and assigning a permanent static IP address and IP-ID
23 +
24 +==== Identifying Zūm Net Devices ====
25 +
26 +Once all ZUMNET-JBOXs have been assigned temporary IP addresses from the DHCP server, they must each be identified so that the correct IP-ID can be assigned. The goal is to associate each assigned IP address with the room that each ZUMNET-JBOX is meant to control. Then we can connect to each ZUMNET-JBOX and set static IP addresses and update the IP table with the correct IP-ID.
27 +
28 +If the electrical contractor has provided a list of which serial numbers/MAC addresses belong to each installed ZUMNET-JBOX, then it is relatively easy to identify which ZUMNET-JBOX should get which IP-ID:
29 +
30 +* Connect to the lighting network and open Device Discovery Tool in Toolbox
31 +* The Device Discovery tool will automatically report how many Ethernet devices have been discovered
32 +** Verify that the correct number of Ethernet devices have been discovered, including any TSWs, GLPACs, DIN-CENCN-2s, etc.
33 +** Note that only Crestron devices will appear in Device Discovery; non-Crestron devices (such as Pharos or Enttec DMX controllers) will not appear in Device Discovery Tool
34 +* Click the "Export..." button below the list of discovered devices
35 +** If this button says "Address Book", then Toolbox needs to be updated
36 +* Click the Write Device Summary button and save the DeviceSummary.txt to your computer
37 +* The DeviceSummary.txt provides the IP address, MAC address, and serial number for each device on the network
38 +* Cross reference the DeviceSummary.txt with the serial numbers/MAC addresses provided by the installer in order to determine which ZUMNET-JBOX has been assigned each IP address
39 +* Update the SRTakeoff.xlsx with the device serial number, MAC address, and automatically assigned IP address for all ZUMNET-JBOXs
40 +
41 +If the electrical contractor has not provided a list of which serial numbers/MAC addresses belong to each installed ZUMNET-JBOX, then it is necessary to connect to each ZUMNET-JBOX individually and identify them through Toolbox. Putting a device into identify will stop any programs running on a processor, and taking a device out of identify mode will restart the program. This starting/stopping of the program can be time consuming when a large number of devices are being identified, so it may be a good idea to run the ##stopprog -p:01## command on the processor prior to identifying devices. Once all the devices are identified, run the ##progreset## command to resume the program.
42 +
43 +* Connect to the lighting network and open Device Discovery Tool in Toolbox
44 +* Note the IP addresses for all of the installed ZUMNET-JBOXs
45 +* Connect to the first ZUMNET-JBOX using Network Device Tree View
46 +* Locate the "ZUMNET-JBOX-xx-xx-LOCAL" device in the list of connected devices
47 +** The model will vary between 0-10V and DALI JBOXs
48 +** The ID should be "03" regardless of model
49 +* Right click the device and press "Identify This Device..." from the context menu
50 +* The device will blink any attached fixtures and make an alarm sound
51 +* Walk around the jobsite until the room/controlled fixtures are located
52 +* Update the SRTakeoff.xlsx with the device serial number, MAC address, and automatically assigned IP address
53 +* Repeat all steps for each ZUMNET-JBOXs until all of the ZUMNET-JBOXs have been identified
54 +
55 +==== Assigning Permanent Static IP Addresses and IP-IDs ====
56 +
57 +Once you have identified which IP address has been assigned to each ZUMNET-JBOX, you can begin configuring them with permanent static IP addresses and the correct IP-ID:
58 +
59 +* Open Text Console in Toolbox and connect to the first ZUMNET-JBOX
60 +* Run the following commands to configure the ZUMNET-JBOXs IP settings (example is for a **10.0.0.0(% style="color:darkgoldenrod" %)/24(%%)** subnet, with a permanent IP address of (% style="color:blue" %)**10.0.0.20**(%%), an IP-ID of (% style="color:olive" %)**30**(%%), a processor IP address of (% style="color:orange" %)**10.0.0.10**(%%), and a hostname of (% style="color:#800080" %)**ZNET-JBOX-RM-201**(%%))
61 +** Disable DHCP: ##dhcp off##
62 +** Set IP address: ##ipa 0 (% style="color:blue" %)**10.0.0.20**(%%)##
17 17  ** Set IP subnet mask: ##ipm 0 (% style="color:darkgoldenrod" %)**255.255.255.0**(%%)##
18 18  ** Set default gateway: ##defr 0 **10.0.0.1**##
19 -** Update IP table: ##addm (% style="color:olive" %)**D1**(%%) (% style="color:orange" %)**10.0.0.10**(%%)##
20 -** Set hostname: ##host (% style="color:purple" %)**CENCN-L1**(%%)##
21 -** Reboot the DIN-CENCN-2: ##reboot##
22 -* Repeat for all DIN-CENCN-2s on the job
65 +** Update IP table: ##addm (% style="color:olive" %)**30**(%%) (% style="color:orange" %)**10.0.0.10**(%%)##
66 +** Set hostname: ##host (% style="color:purple" %)**ZNET-JBOX-RM-201**(%%)##
67 +** Reboot the ZUMNET-JBOX: ##reboot##
68 +* Repeat for all ZUMNET-JBOXs on the job

24 -=== Moving Cresnet Devices ===
70 +=== Zūm Net Specific Configuration ===
25 25  
26 -In SHOWRUNNER™, which Net each Cresnet cable is landed on is important. Each DIN-CENCN-2 is firmware limited to a maximum of 25 Cresnet devices per Net, and which CENCN-2/Net each device is on is tracked in the configuration file. If devices are moved between DIN-CENCN-2s or moved between Nets on the same DIN-CENCN-2, then the configuration file must be updated. Every device in the configuration has a ##"DeviceHostId"## (the host DIN-CENCN-2's IP-ID) and a ##"DeviceHostBranch"## (the Net of the DIN-CENCN-2) associated with it.
72 +Zūm Net devices have
27 27  
28 -When moving devices between Nets or between DIN-CENCN-2's it is important to keep in mind several things:
74 +App vs Cresnet mode
29 29  
30 -1. Cresnet IDs (##"DeviceConnectionId"##) cannot conflict with the Cresnet ID of any other devices defined in the config on the same host ID and branch
31 -1. Cresnet IDs must be in the hexadecimal range 03 to 1B
32 -1. Any children devices (such as NS occ sensors, photocells, GLPPA-KP keypads, etc.) must also be moved. If the parent Cresnet ID is changed then the children IDs must also be updated
33 -1. If devices are moved from a DIN-CENCN-2 to be landed directly on a processor (or landed on a DIN-HUB on a processor), then the device host ID should be ##null## and the host branch should be ##0##
76 +Master vs Slave
77 +
78 +=== Changing IP-IDs ===
79 +
80 +If ZUMNET-JBOXs must be assigned different IP-IDs than indicated in the SRTakeoff.xlsx, or if Zūm Link devices are moved between ZUMNET-JBOXs, then the configuration file must be updated. Every Zūm Link device in the configuration has a ##"DeviceHostId"## associated with it, which corresponds to the IP-ID of the ZUMNET-JBOX hosting it.
81 +
82 +If a Zūm Link device is moved from one ZUMNET-JBOX to another, then this ##"DeviceHostId"## must be updated with the IP-ID of the new device.
83 +
84 +If a ZUMNET-JBOX is assigned a different IP-ID, then it's own ##"DeviceHostId"## as well as the ##"DeviceHostId"## for all hosted Zūm Link devices must be changed to the new IP-ID. In addition to changing these ##"DeviceHostId"##, the ##"IpId"## for the associated entry in ##"IpDevices"## must be updated. ##"IpDevices"## are located towards the beginning of the configuration file. Note that while the ##"DeviceHostId"## is in hexadecimal, the ##"IpId"## is a decimal integer. This means that a ZUMNET-JBOX with ##"DeviceHostId": "31"## would be associated with an entry in ##"IpDevices"## with ##"IpId": 49##
85 +
86 +Below are two snippets from a configuration file comparing a ZUMNET-JBOX-16A-LV lighting controller and it's associated entry in ##"IpDevices"##:
