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.
Connect all Savant devices to the same local area network (LAN) or
subnet as the host. Savant recommends not implementing any type
of traffic or packet shaping in your network topology for the Savant
devices as this may interfere with performance.
Network Configuration
To ensure that the IP Address will not change due to a power
outage, a static IP Address or DHCP reservation should be
configured. Savant recommends using DHCP reservation within the
router. By using this method, static IP Addresses for all devices can
be managed from a single UI avoiding the need to access devices
individually.
Setting DHCP reservation varies from router to router. Refer to the
documentation for the router to configure DHCP reservation.
Network Changes
After connecting to a new network, changing routers, or if the IP
Address range is changed in the current router, Savant recommends
the following steps to refresh any IP connection and ensure that the
Smart Host is communicating with the network correctly.
To refresh the IP connection, perform one of the following steps:
•Cycle Power
1. Press the Power button to power Offthe Smart Host.
2. After 10 seconds, verify that the Power LED is not illuminated
indicating that shutdown has completed.
3. Press the Power button to power On the Smart Host.
•Hot Plug the Ethernet (LAN) Connection
Disconnect the Ethernet (LAN) connection from the controller
for 15 seconds and then reconnect.
Precautions
SURGE PROTECTION!
Use a surge-protected circuit for all components and power
supplies requiring 120-240V AC 50/60 Hz source power.
ELECTRICAL DISCONNECT!
The 120-240V AC 50/60 Hz source power outlet and input
power sockets should be easily accessible in the event of an
electrical hazard or malfunction condition.
CAUTION!
The SVR-SMRTD-10 contains intake and exhaust vents on each
side of the chassis. Do not block the vents or it will affect
performance and could result in damage to equipment.
Power Management Recommendations
Savant recommends a pure sine wave uninterruptible power supply
(UPS) with the ability to shut down the Smart Host Controllers
before the battery runs out of power. Never remove power from the
Smart Host Controllers before shutting it down.
