168 168  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:

238 238  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.

240 240  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)
