    5.1. Replacing a Host in a Configuration By default, a Savant Pro Host is added to any new RacePoint Blueprint configuration file. When utilizing one of the other varieties of Savant Host, including the SHR-S2, or SHR-2000, the existing Host Profile must be replaced with the one matching the device used on site. The example below shows how to configure the SHR-2000 as the Savant System Host.

This service requires a connection between the Smart Host and a Savant Audio Matrix or 3rd party audio matrix.

    6. Host Configuration The Savant SHR-S2 and SHR-2000 Hosts do not offer a graphical user interface (GUI) for configuration.

  • Page 17: Running Scripts

    IMPORTANT! S2/2000 Hosts can only run scripts containing Savant Commands, located under Actions > Other within Automator. Scripts utilizing Applescript or other Mac commands should never be copied to S2/2000 Hosts, as they are not supported, will not function, and may render the system unresponsive.

  • Page 18: Executing Scripts On The Host

    /usr/local/bin/sclibridge This is different from the location of the utility for Savant Pro, Super Pro, or any other MacOS-based Host, and should be kept in mind when writing or testing any such scripts or workflows. A standard UNIX utility can be used to determine the platform any script is running on, and adjust accordingly. See example below for reference: #!/usr/bin/perl -w $osType = `uname`;...

  • Page 19: Troubleshooting

    When troubleshooting undesirable behavior in a deployed Savant system, retrieving logs from the Host can be particularly useful, especially in cases where the problem can be reproduced and an accurate timestamp can be provided to Savant Support. Host logging contains a record of the actions, messages, service requests, state changes, and more processed by the Host.

  • Page 21: Uploading Configuration To The Host

    8.3. Uploading Configuration to the Host To upload a Blueprint configuration to a Savant Host, the recommended methods are to use either the Upload to Master button from the main Blueprint taskbar, or the Upload button in System Monitor. If neither of these methods are available for any reason, configuration files can be uploaded to the Host via the command line following the steps listed below.

  • Page 22: Appendix A: Network Requirements

    Managing IP Addresses To ensure that IP addresses will not change due to a power outage, a static IP Address or DHCP reservation should be configured for the Savant Host and all other Savant or Savant-controlled devices. 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.

  • Page 23: Appendix B: Ups Recommendations

    Appendix B: UPS Recommendations Savant does not recommend any 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.
