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.
Appendix B: Setting Static IP Address To assign a static IP address for a Savant IP Audio device, follow the steps outlined below: Open System Monitor. Double click the Host. Select Controller Info. Select the PAV-SMS2001. Copy the IP address.
Appendix C: DNS (Add, Remove, Query) Manually setting DNS at the component level is generally not required, and is only sometimes relevant for devices utilizing a built-in Savant Music stream. Follow the steps shown below to add, remove, or query the configured DNS server(s) for IP Audio devices.
