26 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.

28 +There are three primary ways of identifying ZUMNET-JBOXs:
29 +
30 +1. Identifying by hostname
31 +1. Identifying by serial number or MAC address
32 +1. Identifying through Toolbox
33 +
34 +Each of these methods involves generating a Device Summary using the Device Discovery Tool in Toolbox. The Device Summary is a file which lists all devices that are discoverable on the network along with useful information such as their hostname, IP address, and MAC address.
35 +
36 +To generate a Device Summary in Toolbox:
37 +
38 +* Connect to the lighting network and open Device Discovery Tool in Toolbox
39 +* The Device Discovery tool will automatically report how many Ethernet devices have been discovered
40 +* Verify that the expected number of Ethernet devices have been discovered, including any TSWs, GLPACs, DIN-CENCN-2s, etc.
41 +** 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
42 +** If no devices are discovered, verify that your computer is connected to the network and your IP address is compatible with the network
43 +** If some devices are missing, there may be an issue with your DHCP server settings or the network wiring
44 +* Click the "Export..." button below the list of discovered devices
45 +** If this button says "Address Book", then Toolbox needs to be updated
46 +* Click the Write Device Summary button and save the Device Summary to your computer
47 +** Though saved as a text file, the Device Summary is actually a table of comma separated values
48 +** Renaming DeviceSummary.txt to DeviceSummary.csv will allow it to be opened and manipulated in common spreadsheet software such as Microsoft Excel or LibreOffice Calc
