Important Safety Information - Read First Safety Statements Before installing, configuring, or operating any equipment, Savant recommends All safety instructions below should be read, understood, and applied under all that each dealer, integrator, installer, etc. access and read all relevant technical relevant circumstances when working with this equipment.
Appendix A: Network Requirements 2. Deployment Steps Follow these steps to successfully deploy a Savant Pro Host. This page can be used as a checklist to record which steps have been completed. Review product specifications and connection details ................................ See the device’s Quick Reference Guide on the Savant Customer Community.
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 Host before shutting it down. See Appendix B: UPS Recommendations for more information.
5.1. Adding a Host to the Layout Window This section outlines the process of configuring a Savant Pro Host 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.
The Pro Host supports the Audio Interrupt Service (AIS) which is used to interrupt the currently playing audio with a doorbell chime alerting the user that a doorbell has been pressed. This service requires a connection between the Pro Host and a Savant Audio Matrix or 3rd party audio matrix.
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 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.
