Appendix C: 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 tra
ffi
c 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
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 SST-W100 is communicating with the network correctly.
To refresh the IP connection, perform the following steps:
• Reboot Wi-Fi® Radio
1.
Reboot the Wi-Fi radio in the SST-W100. Refer to the
2. Wait 15 seconds and then switch breaker back to the On position.
