AReset
Resets the network settings of the device.
Hold Reset Button for 5 seconds while powered
on to clear network settings. Status LED will
rapidly blink red when reset is complete.
BRS-232
8-pin RJ-45 port used to transmit and receive
serial binary data to and from serial controllable
devices.
CTS/RTS handshaking availability based on
component profile. See RS-232 Connections
section for pin-outs.
CIR
(6) IR Ports
Uses 6-pin Control Connectors to send IR signals
to control devices with an IR input or IR receiver
via an IR flasher (5V tolerant only). See IR Wiring
section for important precautions regarding IR
functionality before making any connections.
DDigital Audio

GEthernet
8-pin RJ-45 port, PoE (802.3af compliant).
10/100/1000 Base-T auto-negotiating port with
Link/Activity LEDs.
Supports Audio Video Bridging (AVB).
Activity LED (left):
Green Blinking - Activity (Rx/Tx).
O - No Activity.
Link LED (right):
Green Solid - Ethernet Link is established.
O - Ethernet link is not established.
Supports Power over Ethernet on the PAV-
AIM7C-10 and -20 versions only.
Power Input 5V DC 3A
IR Wiring
IR connections are made using
6-pin control connectors supplied
with the device. The wire slips into
the hole and locks with a screw
located at the top of the
connector.
IMPORTANT: IR Wiring Precautions
Ensure that all IR emitters are within 15 feet (4.6 meters) from the
controller’s location.
Use of 3rd party blinking IR emitters with Talk Back is not
recommended. These types of emitters can draw voltage away from
the IR signal that can degrade IR performance.
NOTE: While not shown in the diagram above, IR connections 4 to 6
follow the same wiring as 1 to 3.
RS-232 Connections
Pins 7 and 8 are only required
for CTS/RTS handshaking.
IMPORTANT: When wiring to
this port, do not connect any
wires within the cable that
are not required for
communication.
NOTES:
–CTS/RTS handshaking is supported for flow control based on
the profile used in the configuration.
–Wire coloring is included to identify the pins used for this
connection. Colors shown do not represent any wiring standard.
–The ProAV 7 Source does not support RS-422/485.
RJ-45 TO DB9 ADAPTERS: Savant oers RJ-45 to DB9 adapters in a
variety of configurations that can be used for RS-232 control.
Refer to the RS-232 Conversion to DB9 and Pinout Application Note
located on the Savant Customer Community for more information on
RJ-45 to DB9 adapters.
Expansion
Savant AVB devices can be connected in a single system, providing a
virtual audio switch that can be configured to suit almost any need.
The maximum number of devices verses based on the active da Vinci
runtime.

Community for additional information.
