  • Page 14: Wiring And Connections

    4. Wiring and Connections The Savant IP Audio control connections send data to control a device and receive data to display current status on the user interfaces or trigger a system action. Each port type may support multiple protocols that are determined by the logical connection within Blueprint.

  • Page 16: Speaker Wiring

    The PAV-SIPA125SM, PAV-AOM8C, and PAV-AOMBAL8C have GPIO ports which share the same wiring. General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) ports are binary I/O ports used by Savant controllers to trigger actions within the system. GPIO actions may be configured to control a device, such as turning on an amplifier (output), or detecting a device state change (input) to perform a triggered workflow.
  • Page 17: Relay Connections

    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.
  • Page 18: Checking And Replacing The Fuse

    NOTE: If any resistance is encountered while seating the cartridge, DO NOT apply more pressure. Stop pressing the cartridge, remove it, verify that the fuse is properly placed and fully seated, align cartridge carefully, and reinsert.

  • Page 27: Blueprint Layout With 5 Ip Audio Devices

    Each IP Audio component’s AVB_A Ethernet Port is connected to one of the AVB_B Ethernet Ports on the switch. The AVB Switch Uplink Port must be connected physically to the regular networking switch on site, however this connection is assumed, and not represented in Blueprint.

  • Page 29: Savant Music

    The Savant Music 2.0 service is generated in Blueprint, and all streaming services are managed via the Savant Pro App. Each stream of Savant Music 2.0 is distributable to any other IP Audio device connected to the AVB network. The system scales sources as endpoints are added naturally.

    Adjust the default volume (slider) and the Min/Max volume settings for the input as desired. NOTE: Input Gain can be set plus or minus 10 db. Savant IP Audio Deployment Guide Copyright © 2019 Savant Systems, LLC 30 of 35 009-1571-02 | 190508...
  • Page 31: Appendix A: Network Requirements

    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.
  • Page 32: Appendix B: Retrieving And Setting Ip Address

    Appendix B: Retrieving and Setting IP Address The SDE must be connected to the same network/subnet as the Savant system in order for the devices to appear in rpmEmbSnanner. With Savant Application Manager active, follow the steps below to check or set the device IP address: NOTE: The UID is needed to verify that the correct IP Address is being checked.
  • Page 33: Appendix C: Dns (Add, Remove, Query)

    Appendix C: DNS (Add, Remove, Query) Setting DNS is only relevant for devices with a built in Savant Music stream. Follow the instructions below to add, remove, or query the DNS servers configured for IP Audio devices. Open a terminal window on a MacBook/SDE.
  • Page 34: Appendix D: Uninterruptible Power Supply (Ups)

    • Savant does have a variety of IP & Serial controlled UPS devices currently profiled (these can be found under Trigger Devices). • The UPS profiles are designed to give the integrator a set of variables and triggers to perform actions with. The Savant User Interface has no default screen(s) that will auto populate for any of these devices.
