Alexander Mott 64.1 14 Zūm Wired is a distributed lighting control system manufactured by Crestron that is set to replace the older Cresnet-based GLPP hardware. It uses industry standard 0-10V, phase dimming, and DALI protocols to allow for automated control of a building's lighting.
Alexander Mott 1.1 15
Alexander Mott 64.1 16 A Zūm Wired system consists of several devices that are joined on three distinct networks that each use the same cables and connectors as Ethernet. The three networks in a Zūm Wired system are:
Alexander Mott 5.2 17
Alexander Mott 11.2 18 * Ethernet
Alexander Mott 5.2 19 * Zūm Net
Alexander Mott 13.1 20 * Zūm Link
Alexander Mott 5.2 21
Alexander Mott 75.1 22 Additionally, traditional 4-wire Cresnet can be wired directly into a Zūm Link network; [[wiring details below>>WebHome||anchor="HZ16BmLinktoCresnet"]].

Alexander Mott 11.2 25
Alexander Mott 73.1 26 Ethernet provides the backbone of the lighting network. Ethernet joins the Hub panels to each other, the processor, and (if the design calls for it) the building LAN. All Ethernet cabling should adhere to the [[Ethernet standards>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.Troubleshooting Guide.Troubleshooting.Ethernet Wiring Overview.WebHome]] for Crestron systems.

Alexander Mott 61.1 28 = Zūm Net =
Alexander Mott 1.1 29
Alexander Mott 13.1 30 Zūm Net wiring should adhere to Ethernet cabling standards and use standard RJ-45 connectors. Zūm Net connects networked room-level controllers throughout the building to each other and to the lighting network. Each Zūm Net run will typically originate at a Hub or Processor panel and then connect to a number of ZUMNET-JBOX devices.
Alexander Mott 1.1 31
Alexander Mott 75.1 32 Typically, there is only one ZUMNET-JBOX per room. Zūm Net cable is shown in purple on //[[Figure 1>>WebHome||anchor="HFigure1"]]//. **It is very important to never connect a Zūm Link cable to a Zūm Net port** as this may damage the Zūm net devices.
Alexander Mott 13.1 33
Alexander Mott 57.1 34 ZUMNET-JBOX devices are covered in more detail [[here>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.Wiring Guide.Zūm Wired System Overview.Load Controllers (ZUMNET-JBOX).WebHome]].
Alexander Mott 29.1 35
Alexander Mott 61.1 36 = Zūm Link =
Alexander Mott 1.1 37
Alexander Mott 75.1 38 Zūm Link runs originate at a ZUMNET-JBOX and connect various Zūm Link devices within a room to the ZUMNET-JBOX for that room. Zūm Link cable is shown in orange on //[[Figure 1>>WebHome||anchor="HFigure1"]]//. **It is very important to never connect a Zūm Link cable to a Zūm Net port** as this may damage the Zūm Net devices. Additionally, **do not loop Zūm Link runs back to a Zūm Net device**; each Zūm Link run should originate at an orange Zūm Link port on a Zūm Net device and end at the last Zūm Link device on the run.

Alexander Mott 15.1 42 While most Zūm Link wiring will adhere to Ethernet cabling standards and utilize standard RJ-45 connectors, Zūm Link is not technically Ethernet. In some situations, it may be necessary to wire traditional Cresnet devices into a Zūm Link space.
Alexander Mott 1.1 43
Alexander Mott 22.2 44 In the future, Crestron will be producing a ZUMLINK-CNRJ45 adapter to allow for plug-and-play connections between Zūm Link RJ-45 connectors and 4-wire Cresnet devices. Until this product is available however, it is necessary to strip the Zūm Link wire and terminate it directly into a Cresnet phoenix connector or terminal block.
Alexander Mott 15.1 45
Alexander Mott 73.1 46 The pin-out to connect a Cresnet device to a Zūm Link network that has been terminated per the [[T568B Standard>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.Troubleshooting Guide.Troubleshooting.Ethernet Wiring Overview.WebHome||anchor="HFigure1"]] is as follows:
