The wire slips into the hole and locks with a screw located at the top of the connector. Speaker connectors accept up to 12AWG speaker cable.
Power Management Recommendations Savant recommends a pure sine wave uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with the ability to shut down the Savant Host before the battery runs out of power. Never remove power from the Savant devices before shutting them down. See Appendix E for more information.

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.
Appendix C: Retrieving and Setting IP Address The SDE must be connected to the same network as the Savant system in order to the devices to appear in rpmEmbSnanner. NOTE: The UID is needed to verify that the correct IP Address is being checked. Record the UID from the sticker located on the rear of the unit.
Appendix D: DNS (Add, Remove, Query) Setting a DNS is only relevant to devices with a built in Savant Music stream. Follow the instructions below to, add, remove, or query the DNS servers configured on the IP Audio devices. Open a terminal window on a MacBook/SDE.
Appendix E: Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Savant does not recommend any particular brand or model UPS, however there are a couple of factors that should be considered. It is important that the UPS does not only work during complete power loss but protects devices and their functionality during events like surges and brownouts. It is not uncommon for a residence or small business to see variations in power service that do not result in a complete black-out.
