1. Introduction

The SmartConnect application is a software utility designed to simplify the process of connecting

Savants Wi-Fi® enabled devices to a wireless network and/or downloading the latest ﬁrmware. The

SmartConnect application communicates with the Wi-Fi devices through one of two

SmartConnect Accessories:

•

SCA-CONF - The SCA-CONF SmartConnect Accessory is a communications cable with an Apple

30-pin male connector that plugs into an older iOS device on one side and a Micro USB

connection that plugs into one of the Savant Wi-Fi enabled devices on the other.

•

SCA-CONFL - The SCA-CONFL SmartConnect Accessory is a communications cable with an Apple

Lightning 8-pin male connector that plugs into a newer iOS device on one side and a Micro USB

connection that plugs into one of the Savant Wi-Fi enabled devices on the other.

The SmartConnect software utility is a powerful multipurpose tool. Below are some of the features

available.

•

Download the latest version of ﬁrmware through the SmartConnect utility from a network

connection.

•

Download the latest version of ﬁrmware through the SmartConnect utility from a ﬁle downloaded

to iTunes.

•

Set a static IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Router Address manually before adding the Savant

device to a local network.

•

Use the SmartConnect utility to connect/join to a local network. IP information can be set both

statically or through DHCP.

•

Conﬁgure or Bind the role of a wireless keypad. Either Lighting Controller or Subordinate Keypad

can be set on each keypad.

Below are the Savant devices that can connect and communicate using the SmartConnect Utility.

•

Wi-Fi® Circa Controller Keypad (WCC-2xxxxx)

•

Wi-Fi® Circa Dimmer Keypad (WCD-1xxxxx)

•

Wi-Fi® Circa Switch Keypad (WCS-1xxxxx)

•

SmartLighting 2 with Wi-Fi® Controller (SSL-W002)

•

Wi-Fi® Corded Lamp Switch (CLS-0WF120)

•

5. Upgrade Firmware

The ﬁrmware on both the SmartConnect Accessory as well as the ﬁrmware of each Savant device

can be upgraded using the SmartConnect utility. There are a few methods available to upload

ﬁrmware. They are described below:

Method 1: Upgrade Firmware (Internet Access Available).

Method 1: Download and install the ﬁrmware ﬁle using the SmartConnect software, SmartConnect

cable, and any iOS device. This ﬁrst method requires Internet access to the site. Method 1 requires

the following:

•

SCA-CONF (30-pin) or SCA-CONFL (8-pin) Savant SmartConnect cable.

•

iPad®, iPhone®, or iPod® Touch

•

Wireless internet access at job site.

•

SmartConnect application retrieved from Apple iTunes store and loaded on an iPad®,iPhone®, iPod®

Touch, or Macbook®. (The download requires an Apple iTunes Account).

Connect iOS device to Network

Method 1 requires an Internet connection. The iOS device needs to access the Internet to see if

there is an update available for the device. Connect the iOS device to a local wireless network that

has Internet access. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions on how to connect the iOS device to

a network.

Connect Savant wireless device to Network

The device getting the update must be connected to the local wireless network. In this procedure,

the Savant wireless device will be conﬁgured to connect to the same network where the iOS

device is connected. For reference, the wireless network is labeled SavantSUR.

1. Plug the SmartConnect cable between the iOS device and the SmartConnect connection on

the front panel of the Savant device being upgraded. If the SmartConnect application doesn’t

automatically open, tap the SmartConnect icon. The application will open and display the

SmartConnect Application connected to a device.

2. Tap the Wi-Fi ﬁeld to open the Wi-Fi window.

3. From within the Wi-Fi window, tap the ﬁeld labeled Use current Wi-Fi network of this iPad.

4. A Share Wi-Fi Settings? window will open. Select Allow and the wireless device will connect

to the wireless network where the iOS device is connected to and will display that a ﬁrmware

version update is available.
