Initial setup

Place the AMX switch and AMX user stations

in the desired locations. Rack mounting

brackets are included with the AMX switch for

easy installation.

Connecting power

Ensure that all power to the AMX switching

system is powered off. Attach the supplied

power cord to each AMX switch and each AMX

user station. Attach the other end of each cord

to an AC power source.

Connecting to the LAN

Attach a UTP cable to the Network port on the

AMX switch. Attach the other end of the UTP

cable to the LAN.

Connecting the user station to the

AMX switch

Attach a UTP cable to one of the two RJ-45

ports on the user station. Attach the other end

of the UTP cable to a numbered RJ-45 user

port on the left side of the AMX switch. Repeat

for each user station in the switching system.

Connecting a server to the AMX switch

Choose an appropriate IQ module and insert

the connectors into the corresponding ports

on the server. Attach a UTP cable to the RJ-45

port on the IQ module. Attach the other end of the

UTP cable to an RJ-45 server port on the right side

of the AMX switch. Repeat for each server in the

switching system.

NOTE: Some IQ modules provide audio and

serial connectors, which may be left unattached
