The example below shows how to configure the HST-SIPA1SM as the Savant System Host.
5.2. Adding a Host to the Layout Window This section outlines the process of configuring a HST-SIPA1SM as the system Host when it has already been added as the Host in the component list, or is the default Host for the configuration.

Select from available Speaker Profiles to apply EQ presets for Savant/Artison speakers. This is an advanced feature for Profile audio correction based on room acoustics.
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, IP Addresses for all devices can be managed from a single UI avoiding the need to access devices individually.
