  ZUMNET-JBOXs can be in either "Primary" or "Secondary" mode. In most situations, "Primary" is the desired mode of operations, as "Secondary" mode effectively turns a ZUMNET-JBOX into a ZUMLINK-JBOX and prevents it from discovering devices on the Zūm Link bus or performing any logic. There are two scenarios in which a ZUMNET-JBOX should be configured in "Secondary" mode:

  Zūm Mode (also known as App Mode) is the default setting for ZUMNET-JBOXs shipping on newer firmware, and allows them to be configured from the Crestron Zūm App as long as a ZUMLINK-KP is connected to the JBOX. If a ZUMNET-JBOX is put into Cresnet mode, it will no longer be able to be configured using the Crestron Zūm App and all internal logic will be disabled.

  === Zūm Mode Auto Switch ===
++{{error}}
++ZUMNET-JBOXs on firmware 4.x.x and above that exceed the maximum allowable ZUMLINK device count must not have Auto Switch enabled. Doing so will result in unintended behavior, including improper app mode functionality and excessive rebooting once reconnected to the processor.
++{{/error}}

++With Auto Switch enabled, ZUMNET-JBOXs may overwrite the ShowRunnerCLC™ scenes upon reconnecting to the processor: disable auto switch or set scenes both in the App and in ShowRunnerCLC™ to avoid this issue

  Zūm Mode Auto Switch is a feature introduced by Crestron in November of 2022 with .puf firmware v1.04.05 (device firmware 1.004.00005). This feature is intended to address concerns that arose from projects using custom programs with ZUMNET-JBOX-* devices in CNET Mode. Previously, if a device in CNET Mode lost connection to the processor, then it would be impossible to maintain any sort of control over the lighting. With Zūm Mode Auto Switch enabled, a ZUMNET-JBOX running in CNET Mode will automatically switch to App Mode and process local logic in the event that it loses connection to the processor.
  Note that on 0-10V and switched JBOXs, the connected loads will flash once when rebooting. On ZUMNET-DALI-JBOX models, the JBOX will reboot once when switching to App mode and twice when switching back to CNET mode (once to switch to CNET, and a second time to switch to Legacy DALI mode)
