Appendix A: Network Requirements
Savant requires the use of business class/commercial grade network equipment throughout the network to ensure the reliability of communication between
devices. These higher quality components also allow for more accurate troubleshooting when needed.
Device Network Connections
Connect all Savant devices to the same local area network (LAN) or subnet as the host. Savant recommends not implementing any type of trac or packet
shaping in your network topology for the Savant devices as this may interfere with performance.
Managing IP Addresses
To ensure that the IP Address will not change due to a power outage, DHCP reservation should be configured.
Setting DHCP Reservation
Setting DHCP reservation varies from router to router. Refer to the documentation for the router to configure DHCP reservation.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
The Savant In-Wall Control screen requires a PoE network switch that is IEEE 802.3af compliant. Or a PoE network injector can be used.
Network Changes
Savant recommends performing the following steps to refresh the IP connection after connecting to a new network, changing routers, or if the IP Address range
is changed in the current router. This will reset any IP connection and ensure that the host is communicating with the network correctly.
–Reboot the device from the Settings Screen.
From the Home Screen tap Settings > Tap Touch Panel Settings > Tap Reboot.
–Using a paper clip or similar, press and release the Reset button on the side of the control screen. Allow the display to reset and obtain a new IP Address.
