4. Wiring and Connections

4.1. Audio Connections

The Savant IP Audio Music Server has two audio output connections. This device provides only one stream of Savant Music, both connections

transmit the same audio.

4.2. Network Connection

The Savant IP Audio Music Server uses a standard RJ-45 port complying with IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standards. This port also supports Audio Video

Bridging (AVB) or Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) over Ethernet (AVB/TSN, IEEE 802.1). Up to sixteen IP Audio devices can be connected using

AVB/TSN compliant switching. For more information on this, see the Expansion section.

4.3. AC Power Connection

SURGE PROTECTION!

Use a surge-protected circuit for all components and power supplies requiring 100/240V (AC 50/60 Hz) source power.

ELECTRICAL DISCONNECT!

The source power outlet and power supply input power sockets should be easily accessible to disconnect power in the event of an electrical hazard or

malfunction.

5. Installation

The Savant IP Audio Music Server can be placed on a solid flat surface such as a table or shelf. The PAV-SMS2001 will fit on any generic 1U NEMA rack shelf.

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 traffic or packet

shaping in your network topology for the Savant devices as this may interfere with performance.

AVB Requirements

Savant requires a AVB/TSN Compliant Switch. The AVB/TSN switch should be an extension of the current network.

Managing IP Addresses

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 a Static IP Address

Refer to the Appendix B.

Setting DHCP Reservation

Setting DHCP reservation varies from router to router. Refer to the documentation for the router to configure DHCP reservation.

Network Changes

Savant recommends performing one of 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.

–Cycle Power

–Disconnect the Pro Audio 4 from the power source.

–Wait 15 seconds and then reconnect.

–Hot Plug the Ethernet (LAN) Connection

–Disconnect the Ethernet (LAN) connection from the controller.

–Wait 15 seconds and then reconnect.
