52 52  ===== Identifying by Hostname =====
53 53  
54 -Oftentimes,
54 +The Crestron Zūm App is used to configure the internal logic of Zūm Wired rooms. This internal logic determines the room behavior when ZUMNET-JBOXs are used in standalone applications or if communication to the processor is lost. Even on SHOWRUNNER™ jobs with a central program running the lighting controls, it is best practice to configure the internal logic to match as closely as possible the SHOWRUNNER™ logic in order to minimize disruption to end-users in the event of a processor or network failure.

56 +In addition to configuring default room logic, the Crestron Zūm App can be used to change the hostname of the ZUMNET-JBOX for each room. By default, the hostname for a ZUMNET-JBOX is the model followed by the last six digits of the MAC address, e.g. "ZUMNET-JBOX-16A-LV-F2DA94". If you or the electrical contractor already intend to configure the internal logic each ZUMNET-JBOX, it would be a good idea to also change the hostname to something more identifiable.

58 +To change the hostname using the Crestron Zūm App:
59 +
60 +* Connect to the ZUMNET-JBOX in the App
61 +* Tap "Room Settings"
62 +* Tap "Network"
63 +* Tap the Hostname field and edit the Hostname
64 +* Scroll to the bottom of the page and tap "Save settings"
65 +* Tap "OK" to apply the changes and reboot the ZUMNET-JBOX
66 +** Note that rebooting the JBOX will cause the lights to briefly cut out
67 +
68 +If all hostnames have been set, then it becomes very easy to know which DHCP assigned IP address is associated with each room using the Device Summary. Generate a Device Summary with the new hostnames and proceed to IP configuration.

56 56  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:
