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.
Device Network Connections
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.
Managing IP Addresses
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.

Network Changes
Savant recommends performing one of 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.
To refresh the IP connection, perform one of the following steps:
-! Cycle Power
1.! Disconnect the SMS-1001 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 SMS-1001.
2.! Wait 15 seconds and then reconnect.
-! Restore System Defaults
To restore system IP default settings, press and hold the reset button for 5 seconds till the Status LED starts a rapid red blinking sequence; then release. System will reset and Ethernet settings will be cleared.

Appendix B: Retrieve or Set IP Address
Savant recommends assigning the IP Address for the SMS-1001 using DHCP reservation or similar. However, a static IP Address can also be configured.
To retrieve an already assigned IP Address or set a static IP Address, the rpmEmbScanner application opened through the Savant Application Manager (SAM) can be used.
To set the IP Address when the rpmEmbScanner is not available, an embedded Web UI is available. Both are described below
Using rpmEmbScanner
1.! Open the Savant Application Manager (SAM).
2.! Activate da Vinci 8.3 or higher.
3.! Select Launch > rpmEmbScanner from SAM menu bar.
HELPFUL INFORMATION! It is good practice
to copy the UID from the bottom of the SMS-1001. The UID copied can be compared with the UID in the rpmEmbScanner to verify the correct product.
4.! Select the SMS-1001 from the list of devices.
5.! Select the Edit button to open an editing window.
6.! Select Manually from the Configure: field.
7.! Enter new IP Address into the IP Address: field.
Note: The Subnet Mask and Router fields will automatically
populate but can be modified as required.
8.! Select Save & Reboot.
9.! After reboot, the device will repopulate in the rpmEmbScanner window.
