To make a LAN connection:
Using a UTP cable, connect the Network port on the back of the AMX
to your LAN.
NOTE: Both AMWorks and the AMX must be on the same subnet in class A, B or C to
function properly.
Connecting devices to the AMX
Once the AMX switch is installed, you can begin attaching servers or serial
devices to it. All are connected to the AMX through the use of AMIQ modules.
For information on connecting other Avocent KVM switches to the AMX, see
Installing a Tiered AMX System later in this chapter.
