Green indicates the Host has established communications with the
SSC-P007.
Green flashing indicates the SSC-P007 is ready (running with
DHCP IP address), but the Host has not established
communications with the SSC-P007.
Off indicates the SSC-P007 is resetting or 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 firmware is running, but has not received
a DHCP IP Address.

Amber indicates the Host is currently updating the firmware.
Amber flashing indicates the SSC-P007 has a valid link-local IP

Address and is waiting to connect to the Host.

Important If you are using RJ-45 to DB-9 adaptors not supplied by Savant, be sure to
terminate any wires required for communication/control within the adaptor. Ensure that all wires
required for communication/control are not terminated in the connector. Also, 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.

Interconnect the Network

The SSC-P007 controller requires business class/commercial grade network equipment to
handle the IP traffic between Savant SmartSystems™network equipment. When configuring the
network ensure that all of the connected Savant units (including SSC-P007 controller and host)
are on the same local area network (subnet or LAN). When on the same network, Savant units
locate each other using the Bonjour® network protocol.

Network Changes Require Rebooting SSC-P007

The embedded processor used in the SSC-P007 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 recognize the network and IP address changes. The CPU Status LED on the front panel of
the controller will start to flash and log reports in System Monitor.

Restoring System Defaults

This procedure will clear a static IP address that has been set up by the installer using the
embedded scanner, RPMembscanner— a Savant specific program located in the RacePoint
Media folder and installed when you load RacePoint Blueprint™ on your computer.

To restore the default state of the SSC-P007, do the following.

1. Press and hold the reset button for 5+ seconds.

2. The status LED will blink green briefly while the firmware clears the static IP address.

3. The system will then reboot and come back with the status LED blinking green, if the
system received an IP address from the DHCP server. If the system has a self-assigned
address, the LED is blinking amber. See the Front, CPU Status LED, Amber flashing
description above.

You can confirm your embedded processor has an IP address by opening the
RPMembscanner application inside the RacePointMedia folder, or by entering
RPMembscanner in Spotlight.

SSC-P007 Side Mounting Bracket Installation

Use the supplied screws to install the Side Mounting Brackets (071-0625-xx) to the SSC-P007
as shown.
