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, 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

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.

To refresh the IP Connection, perform one of the following steps:

– Unplug/Plug Ethernet Connection

1. Unplug Ethernet cable.

2. Wait 15 seconds.

3. Re-insert Ethernet cable back into Ethernet port.

– Cycle Power

1. Disconnect the controller from the AC power source.

2. Wait 15 seconds.

3. Reconnect.

– Reset Button

1. Press and release the reset button. The controller will reset and IP Address settings will be cleared.
