• Green flashing indicates the embedded system is ready
(running with DHCP IP address), but the Host has not
established communications with the embedded system.
• Off indicates the embedded processor is resetting or is
powered up; and is booting the embedded firmware.
• Red indicates the Host has determined the firmware needs
to be updated, but a problem occurred during the process
that will initiate a reset.
• Red flashing indicates the embedded firmware is running,
but has not received a DHCP IP Address.
• Amber indicates the Host is currently updating the
embedded firmware.
• Amber flashing indicates the embedded system has a
valid link-local IP Address and is waiting to connect to the
Host.
• Over Temperature or Hardware Failure
If the Controller over heats or has a hardware failure, the
Status LED indication will be interrupted every 3-seconds
with a solid red indication. For example, if the LED is
flashing green when an over temperature or hardware
failure occurs, the LED, in 3-second intervals, will flash
green, solid red, etc.

Important
If you are using RJ-45 to DB-9 adapters not supplied by Savant be sure to terminate any wires
required for communication/control within the adapter. Cut all unused wires to prevent the
wires from shorting against each other. Ensure that all wires required for
communication/control are not terminated in the connecter. Also, ensure that these unused
wires are not shorting to each other, as they are still terminated in the RJ-45 connector on the
controller side.

Interconnect the Network
The SSV-1000 requires business class/commercial grade network equipment in order to
handle the IP traffic between Savant Network Equipment. When configuring the network
ensure that all of the connected Savant units (SSV-1000 and HST-3001) are on the same local
area network (subnet or LAN). Being on the same subnet allows the Savant units to locate
each other using the Bonjour network protocol.
Interconnect the SSV-1000 and HST-3001 (Example)
To interconnect the SSV-1000 and HST-3001 or SVR-3000, refer to the following diagram.

Network Changes Require Rebooting the SSV-1000
The embedded processor used in the Smart Controller, needs to be rebooted after switching to
a new network with a new IP address range. If you do not reboot, the Controller will not sense
the network and IP address changes. The Status LED on the front panel of the Controller will
start to flash and log reports in System Monitor.
