Appendix A: Network Requirements
Savant requires the use of business class/commercial grade network equipment throughout the network to
ensure the reliability of communication between devices. These higher quality components also allow for more
accurate troubleshooting when needed.
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.
Network Configuration
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.
Setting DHCP reservation varies from router to router. Refer to the documentation for the router to configure
DHCP reservation.
Network Changes
It is good practice to reboot (power cycle) the Lamp Control after changing routers, or if the IP address range is
changed in the current router.
To Reboot the Lamp Control:
•
Cycle Power
Unplug the Lamp Control from the wall. Wait 15 seconds and plug back into outlet.
To Reset to Factory Defaults
•
Press & Hold the
Reset Button
on the bottom side of the Lamp Control for 5 seconds until the Status LED
starts a rapid blink (red). Release the Reset button once the rapid blink begins. Allow 10-15 seconds for the
controller to reset. See the
section for LED state information.
