Appendix A: Network Requirements
Savant requires the use of business class/commercial grade networking equipment throughout the network to ensure the reliability of communication between
devices. These higher quality components also allow for more eective troubleshooting when needed.
Device Network Connections
Connect all Savant devices to the same local area network (LAN) or subnet as the Host. Savant recommends the implementation of a flat network topology for
all Savant devices. Use of network utilities such as band steering, packet shaping, QoS, or fast roaming (802.11r), etc. may interfere with performance.
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.
Setting DHCP Reservation
Setting DHCP reservation varies from router to router. Refer to the documentation for the router to configure DHCP reservation.
Network Changes
Savant recommends performing the following steps to refresh the IP connection after connecting to a new network, changing routers, or if the IP Address range
is changed in the current router. This will reset any IP connection and ensure that the Host is communicating with the network correctly.
– Hot Plug the Ethernet (LAN) Connection
1. Disconnect the Ethernet (LAN) connection from the Host.
2. Wait 15 seconds and then reconnect.
