The AMX intelligent module

The AMIQ module provides the primary interface between an attached device (KVM switch or PS/2,
Sun or USB server) and the AMX switching system. It provides all Keep Alive, keyboard emulation,
DDC (Digital Data Channel) and AMX switching system support in a server-powered convenient
module format.
The AMIQ-SRL module is a DCE (Data Communication Equipment) device that provides the
primary interface between a serial device and the AMX switching system. It supports VT100
terminal emulation, break suppression and port history in a convenient module format. For
information on using the AMIQ-SRL module, refer to Appendix B.
These modules eliminate the need for extra rack spaces or additional cables. For ease of
installation, each AMIQ module has a factory-assigned unique number that identifies the attached
