Device Network Connections Connect all Savant devices to the same local area network (LAN) or subnet as the Host. Savant recommends not implementing any type of traffic or packet shaping in your network topology for the Savant devices as this may interfere with performance.
Appendix B: Retrieve or Set IP Address Savant recommends assigning the IP Address for the SMS using DHCP reservation or similar. However, a static IP Address can also be configured. To retrieve an already assigned IP Address or set a static IP Address, the rpmEmbScanner application opened through the Savant Application Manager (SAM) can be used.
Open System Monitor from within SAM by selecting the System Monitor icon from the right-side menu. From the System Monitor scanner window, double-click the Host from the Savant Pro System that contains the SMS. In the window that opens, select the Controller Info tab and then select the SMS from the list of devices under the Device Name field.
