Audio/Video Module Slots
The module slots accept input and output modules in certain locations
on the rear of the SSP-0600. Input modules are only accepted by the
upper 3 slots and output modules are only accepted by the lower 3
slots.
IMPORTANT! Module Installation Precautions
ELECTRIC DISCONNECT!
Power Off the controller by setting the power switch on the rear of
the chassis to Off (O) and remove the power cord before inserting
or removing any module from the SmartMediaPro chassis. Failure
to do so may cause damage to the equipment.
IMPORTANT! Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Warning:
Observe the following precautions to avoid damage from electrostatic
discharge (ESD) when handling modules.
•
Use an approved ESD wrist or ankle-grounding strap. Ensure the
grounding strap makes good skin contact.
•
Connect the clip end of the ground strap to a threaded grounding
stud on the chassis.
•
When returning a replaced module to Savant, place the module in the
clamshell package in which it was originally shipped in or a static
shielding bag.
NOTE:
The wrist strap only protects the component from ESD voltages on the
body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.

RJ-45 to DB9 Adapters
Savant offers RJ-45 to DB9 adapters in a variety of configurations that
can be used for RS-232/422/485 control.
Refer to the RS-232 Conversion to DB9 and RS-422/485 Pinout
Application Note located on the Savant Community for more
information on RJ-45 to DB9 adapters.
IMPORTANT! If you are using RJ-45 to DB9 adapters not supplied by
Savant:
•
Ensure that any wires required for communication/control are
terminated within the adapter.
•
Ensure that all wires NOT required for communication/control are
NOT terminated in the connecter.
•
Ensure that the unused wires in the connector are cut to prevent
them shorting out, as they are still terminated in the RJ-45 connector
on the controller side.
IR Wiring
IR connections are made using 6-pin Screw Down Plug-in Connectors
supplied with the matrix. The wire slips into the hole and locks with a
screw located at the top of the connector.
GPIO Wiring
General Purpose Input/Outputs (GPIO) are binary I/O ports used on
Savant controllers to trigger an action within the system. Events can
control a device, such as turning on an amplifier (output) or detecting
a state change for a device (input) to perform a workflow. Pins 1-4 are
used for input or output depending on configuration.
GPIO Pinout
Relay Wiring
Relay ports are used when a device is controlled via a normally open
(NO) or normally closed (NC) relay.
IMPORTANT! IR Wiring Precautions
•
Ensure that all IR emitters are within 15 feet (4.6 meters) from the
controllers location.
•
Use of 3rd party flashing IR emitters with Talk Back is not
recommended. These types of emitters can draw voltage away from
the IR signal that can degrade IR performance.
Note:
While not shown in the diagram above, IR connections 4 to 6 follow
the same wiring as 1 to 3.

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 on how to configure DHCP reservation.
Network Changes
After connecting to a new network, changing routers, or if the IP
Address range is changed in the current router, Savant recommends
the following steps to refresh any IP connection and ensure that the
controller is communicating with the network correctly.
To refresh the IP connection, perform one of the following steps:
•
Cycle Power
1. Disconnect the controller from the AC power source.
2. Wait 15 seconds and then reconnect.
•
Hot Plug the Ethernet (LAN) Connection
1. Disconnect the Ethernet (LAN) connection from the controller.
2. Wait 15 seconds and then reconnect.
•
Restore System Defaults
See Restoring System Defaults.
Checking and Replacing the Fuse
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD:
Disconnect the unit from AC power by removing the power cord
from the AC outlet and the unit before replacing the fuse.
IMPORTANT:
The orientation of the cartridge within the unit and location of the
fuse within the cartridge are crucial to proper operation. Make
note of the orientation of the cartridge and the fuse location
within the cartridge before removing.
1. Disconnect the unit from AC power by removing the power cord.
2. Open the fuse cover on the AC power input using a flat head
screwdriver or similar thin flat head tool. This will allow access to the
fuse cartridge.
3. Using a flat head screwdriver or similar thin flat head tool, gently
loosen the cartridge and pull the cartridge out of the unit slowly. As
the cartridge is removed, make note of the orientation as it is
important to proper operation.
Tip:
Mark the chassis and fuse holder with a marker in order to align when
replacing.
4. Remove the old fuse from the cartridge and discard.
5. Gently place the new fuse in the cartridge and place the cartridge
part way into the receptacle aligning it as defined in the diagram.
Restoring System Defaults
The following procedure will set the SSP-0600 network settings to the
factory default of DHCP. Any static IP Address that has been set will
be lost and will need to be reset.
1. Power Off the SSP-0600 using the rear power switch.
2. Using a jumper wire (for example, a strand from a Cat 5 cable),
connect IR 1+ to GPIO 1 (pin 2 on their respective connectors).
Note:
Remove any wire that is currently in pin 2, connect only the
jumper wire during the restore process.
3. Insert the connectors into their respective jacks on the rear of the
SSP-0600.
4. Power On the SSP-0600 using the rear power switch.
5. The Status LED will blink green briefly while the firmware clears the
network settings.
6. Remove the jumper wire from the connectors.
7. The system will reboot and come back up.
•
If an IP address was received from the DHCP server, the status
LED will blink Green.
•
If a self-assigned IP Address is set, the status LED will blink
Amber.
8. Use rpmembscanner to confirm that an IP Address has been received
or to set a static IP Address.
6. Gently press on the cartridge the rest of the way until it seats into the
terminals at the rear of the slot.
Note: If any resistance is encountered during seating the cartridge, DO NOT
apply more pressure. Stop pressing on the cartridge, remove it, verify the
orientation, and repeat step.
