To connect servers to the AMX switching system:
1.
Locate an AMIQ module appropriate to the server you wish to attach.
2.
Plug the AMIQ connectors into the appropriate ports on the back of the selected server.
3.
Connect one end of a UTP cable into the RJ-45 port on your AMIQ module. Route the cable to
your AMX switch and connect the other end to one of the available RJ-45 server ports. When
the attached computer is powered and a valid UTP connection is made to an AMX switch, the
green light on the AMIQ module will illuminate.
4.
Check the unique identifier (UID) on the back of the AMIQ module. Log the UID and the
target to which it is attached and keep this information for future reference.
Repeat this procedure for every server that will be attached to your AMX switching system.
To connect serial devices to the AMX switching system:
NOTE: The AMIQ-SRL module is a DCE device and only supports VT100 terminal emulation.
1.
Locate an AMIQ-SRL module.
2.
Attach the AMIQ-SRL module 9-pin serial connector to the serial port of the device to be
connected to your AMX switch.
