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:
