8 System Diagram The SHC-2000 Smart Host with control combines the User Interface (UI) interpretations, system administration, and monitoring of a Savant Host with the control functions of a Savant Controller. This allows for the SHC-2000 to perform all the functions that create Savant s high-level automation and control with a single device of 33

9 4. Installation The Smart Host can be installed on a solid, flat, level surface such as a table, cabinet or shelf, or wall mounted using the included 2 piece bracket. The location should be dry, well ventilated, and out of direct sunlight. When placing the Smart Host on a shelf, the wall bracket must not be installed to allow for a flat, level installation. Rack Installation The optional RCK-3000-xx provides a ventilated shelf for mounting up to 2 Smart Hosts. When rack mounting the Smart Host, the wall bracket must not be installed to allow for a flat, level installation. Wall Bracket Installation A 2 piece wall bracket is included that can be used to mount the Smart Host to a wall or back of a cabinet. 1. Attach the host bracket to the rear of the host using the included M3x6 mm flat head Phillips screws. 2. Attach the wall bracket to the wall. Screws to attach are not included. 3. Position the host over the wall bracket and gently slide into place. Ethernet Connection The Smart Host communicates with other devices on the network via a Ethernet connection. For more information on using Ethernet, refer to Appendix A: Network Requirements. Audio Output Connection The audio output on the host is used for Savant Music and Audio Interrupt Service (AIS). Connection to this output varies based on the Savant Audio Matrix or 3rd party switcher being used. Refer to the following sections within this document and documents located on the Savant Customer Community for more information on using the Audio Output connections. Section Savant Music Audio Interrupt Service (AIS) Configuration for Doorbell Application Note of 33

10 Control Connections The Smart Host control connections send data to control a device and receive data to display current status on the user interfaces or trigger a system action. Each port type may support multiple protocols that are determined by the logical connection within Blueprint. TIPS: Savant recommends planning control connections and protocols to be used prior to building any cables and connecting equipment. This will ensure that devices will respond to commands and will not be damaged by an incorrect cable configuration. When installing wire in screw down terminals, strip a 1/4 inch of insulation from the each wire and twist the strands together. This will allow for the exposed wire to be inserted into the terminal up to the insulation eliminating stray strands that may cause shorting. RS-232 Wiring RS-232 Pinout NOTE: CTS/RTS handshaking is supported for flow control based on the profile used in the configuration. RJ-45 to DB9 Serial Control Adapters Refer to the RS-232 Conversion to DB9 and RS-422/485 Pinout Application Note located on the Savant Customer Community for more information on RJ-45 to DB9 adapters. Note: The SHC-2000 does not support RS-422/485. 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 connector. Ensure that the unused wires in the connector are cut to prevent them from shorting out, as they are still terminated in the RJ-45 connector on the controller side of 33

11 IR Wiring IR connections are made using 6-pin Screw Down Plug-in Connectors supplied with the Smart Host. The wire slips into the hole and locks with a screw located at the top of the connector. IMPORTANT! IR Wiring Precautions Ensure that all IR emitters are within 15 feet (4.6 meters) from the controller s 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. IR Pinout NOTE: While not shown in the diagram above, IR connections 4 to 6 follow the same wiring as 1 to of 33

12 Relay Wiring Relay ports are used when a device is controlled via a normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) relay. Relay Pinout of 33

13 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. Pin 1 is used for input or output depending on configuration. See item I under Rear Panel for GPIO voltage ratings. GPIO Pinout GPIO Pull Down Resistor (PD) Usage GPIO pins configured as inputs are pulled high to 12V while the host is booting up. To make the GPIO signal low (< 0.8V) during a host reboot and/or a power cycle, attach the GPIO 1 pin to the PD pin. The PD pin is a 1K ohm pull down resistor (to signal ground) which keeps the GPIO output below 0.8V during processor boot times. See item I under Rear Panel for GPIO voltage ratings. AC Power Connection SURGE PROTECTION! Use a surge-protected circuit for all components and power supplies requiring V AC 50/60 Hz source power. ELECTRICAL DISCONNECT! The source power outlet and power supply input power sockets should be easily accessible to disconnect power in the event of an electrical hazard or malfunction. Power Management Recommendations Savant recommends a pure sine wave uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with the ability to shut down the Savant Host before the battery runs out of power. Never remove power from the Savant Host before shutting it down of 33

14 5. Rules for Deploying Smart Hosts While Blueprint will enforce various restrictions for placing a Smart Host onto a configuration, rules listed below will not contain warning messages within Blueprint. Read through this section carefully before starting or updating a configuration to ensure that the system will function once the configuration is uploaded. Device Features and Zones Supported by Smart Hosts Refer to the Savant Host Comparison Guide located on the Savant Customer Community for a list of the available features before starting Blueprint configuration. Use of Custom Automator Workflows and Applescripting Only Savant Automator actions, Apple's Pause, or Run Shell Script actions can be used. All other actions will be ignored. NOTE: Functions such as can be programmed using the Run Shell Script action. See Setting Up Mail (Gmail Only) for Notifications for more information. Applescripting is not supported on Smart Hosts. Another scripting language and the Savant Command Line Interface Bridge (sclibridge) must be used. See Running Scripts for more details.

In an open Blueprint configuration, select the host at the top of the Zone Component List and drag it onto the Layout view. 2. Enter a unique Device Name and the Savant ID for the host. The Savant ID is used to identify the host on the network so that a configuration may be uploaded to the host. A. Select the host in the Layout view and open the Inspector by navigating to: View > Show Inspector B. Enter a Device Name that is unique to the system. TIP: Savant recommends using the customer s last name and a number unique to the customer followed by Savant Host. Example: Jones45 Savant Host C. Enter the Savant ID for the host. Adding Connections for Relays and GPIOs Relays and GPIOs can be connected to a device directly when the profile for the device contains an appropriate connection. In some cases, Relay and GPIO profiles are needed, these profiles can be found in the Blueprint component library. Refer to the Relay and General Purpose Input/Output Profiles Application Note located on the Savant Customer Community for details on using these profiles of 33

18 Adding a Doorbell or Door Station The Smart Host supports the Audio Interrupt Service (AIS) which is used to interrupt the currently playing audio with a doorbell chime alerting the user that a doorbell has been pressed. This service requires a connection between the Smart Host and a Savant Audio Matrix or 3rd party audio matrix. Refer to the Audio Interrupt Service (AIS) Configuration for Doorbell Application Note located on the Savant Customer Community for information on using AIS. Savant Music The SHC-2000 has a built in single stream media player. This allows the use of popular music streaming services like Pandora or Spotify (streaming music service fee may apply). For a full list supported services, see the product page in the store at Savant.com. This feature is only available in 8.0 or higher. To enable the Savant Music service all that is needed is an audio connection from the host with a complete service path. The resource is enabled by default. Savant Music License There is a required Music license to activate the service. The Music License is applied in System Monitor, shown below. For more information on Licenses, see the Savant Host Runtime License: Application Note on the Savant Customer Community of 33

19 Once the license has been applied there is an additional screen in System Monitor. The streaming services are managed in the Savant Pro App. Streaming services can be disabled from System Monitor of 33

20 7. Smart Host Configuration The Smart Host does not contain a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Terminal is used to enter Secure Shell (SSH) commands. This section explains the commands and how they are used within Terminal. NOTE: This section contains commands to enter into Terminal and other applications. Copying this content from this document may change the formatting required by the application. Verify the command after copying to ensure that the command will function as required. Querying and Configuring IP Address and DNS Server By default, the Smart Host is set to DHCP. Changing this to static requires accessing the Smart Host via Terminal. NOTE: DNS Server addresses can only be added to Smart Hosts with static IP Addresses. DHCP will override any custom DNS Addresses. 1. Launch the Savant Application Manager (SAM). 2. Select the appropriate da Vinci release for the host and click Activate. 3. Open System Monitor by selecting it in the right side menu. 4. In an open System Scanner window, select the Savant Smart Host. 5. Click Terminal in the menu bar to open a session to the selected host. 6. When prompted, enter the password for the host. Default: RPM 7. In the open Terminal window enter a command to perform from the list below: For help on the commands: Query the Current Address and Mode: setipaddress --help setipaddress Example of Terminal Window: setipaddress eth0: setup for DHCP eth0 Link encap:ethernet HWaddr ec:a8:6b:f6:8b:df inet addr: Bcast: Mask: UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets: errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:33460 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes: (108.0 MiB) TX bytes: (5.4 MiB) Interrupt:20 Memory:f7c00000-f7c of 33

21 Set to Static IP: Set to DHCP: Add a DNS Server Address to the list Remove a DNS Server Address from the list: Query Current DNS Server Information: setipaddress -static -address x.x.x.x -netmask x.x.x.x -gateway x.x.x.x Substitute x.x.x.x with the appropriate addresses. A message will appear to confirm the requested change. After confirming (y), the connection to the host will be lost as the IP Address has changed. Close the Terminal window after confirming and entering password for host RPM user. setipaddress DHCP A message will appear to confirm the requested change. After confirming (y), the connection to the host will be lost as the IP Address has changed. Close the Terminal window after confirming and entering password for host RPM user. setdnsserver -add -address x.x.x.x setdnsserver -remove -address x.x.x.x setdnsserver Example of Terminal Window: servername servername Change the Host User Password For security purposes, especially with remote access for dealers, Savant is providing a command line utility to easily change the password of the Smart Host. NOTE: Passwords should be at least 10 characters long and include numbers, symbols, and capital letters. 1. Launch the Savant Application Manager (SAM). 2. Select the appropriate da Vinci release for the host and click Activate. 3. Open System Monitor by selecting it in the right side menu. 4. In an open System Scanner window, select Savant Smart Host. 5. Click Terminal in the menu bar to open a session on the selected host. 6. In the open Terminal window type: savantsetpassword 7. When prompted, enter the current password 8. When prompted, enter the new password 9. Once the password has been changed, reboot the Smart Host to ensure the security changes are applied to all processes of 33

22 Setting Up Remote Access By enabling remote access, the host can be accessed remotely from outside the local network. This can come in handy to troubleshoot or upgrade a system from a remote location. IMPORTANT! Savant strongly recommends that the host s password is changed from the default when enabling Remote Access. Once enabled, the host will be on the Internet and accessible from outside the local network. 1. Change the user password. Follow the steps in section Change the Host User Password. 2. Setup firewall to forward TCP port 22 to the host. IMPORTANT! Savant very strongly recommends the public port on the firewall is not set to port 22 as it is used by the host. Instead, map a non-standard public port (for example, any number between ) to port 22. This will result in better network security. Once remote access is enabled and the ports forwarded in the firewall, the host can be accessed using Secure Communication Mode within System Monitor. Secure Communication Mode selected in System Monitor Enter in the IP Address or Internet DNS name of the home system. When using a non-standard SSH port, append the port to the host name as :<port number> (colon, then port number). So if you use public port 2149 on the firewall, then the host would be Host:2149 When prompted, enter the username (RPM) and password of the host. Setting Up Mail (Gmail Only) for Notifications The Smart Host may be setup to send notifications via or text using workflows. Refer to the How to Configure a Host to Send an /SMS Text Notification from a Triggered Workflow located on the Savant Customer Community for more information of 33

23 8. Running Scripts Custom workflows and scripts created within Blueprint are copied to the host when the configuration is uploaded. However, scripts that are created outside of Blueprint using Automator or Linux will need to be copied to the host for the system to access them. These items will need to be placed on the Smart Host by using SSH commands. NOTE: This section contains commands to enter into Terminal and other applications. Copying this content from this document may change the formatting required by the application. Verify the command after copying to ensure that the command will function as required. IMPORTANT! Smart Hosts can only run scripts containing Savant Commands located under Actions > Other within Automator. Do not copy scripts containing MAC commands as they will not function on a Smart Host and may render the system unresponsive. Recalling Script Files If you are currently running scripts added by using the Customer Files folder in the Tools > Customer and Provider Info dialog, the location of these files is different on a Smart Host. Refer to Tools Menu - Channel Listings Editor, Customer and Provider Information: RacePoint Blueprint Programming Guide located on the Savant Customer Community for details on adding Customer Files. Files that have been added to Customer Files are located under the following path on a Smart Host: /home/rpm/gnustep/library/applicationsupport/racepointmedia/userconfig.rpmconfig/customerfiles of 33

24 Executing Scripts on the Master sclibridge is a command line program on the host used to interact with the Savant control system for advanced customization. Smart Host (Linux OS) Location: /usr/local/bin/sclibridge Custom scripts and workflows need to be aware of this difference. You can use a common UNIX utility called 'uname' to determine which platform your script is running on and adjust accordingly. #!/usr/bin/perl -w $ostype = `uname`; chomp($ostype); $sclibridge = undef; if($ostype eq "Linux OS") { print "Running on Linux\n"; $sclibridge = "/usr/local/bin/sclibridge"; } elsif($ostype eq "Mac OS") { print "Running on Darwin\n"; $sclibridge = "/Users/RPM/Applications/RacePointMedia/sclibridge"; } else { print "Running on Unknown: $sclibridge\n"; } of 33

30 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 a Static IP Address Refer to Querying and Configuring IP Address for details on how to set a static IP Address. Setting DHCP Reservation Setting DHCP reservation varies from router to router. Refer to the documentation for the router to configure DHCP reservation. 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. Cycle Power 1. Disconnect the Smart Host from the DC 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 of 33
