16 AMX Switch Series Installer/User Guide

To connect a local server to the AMX switch:

1. Choose an appropriate IQ module and insert the connectors into the corresponding ports on the

back of the server.

Some IQ modules also provide audio and serial connectors, which may be left unconnected if

this functionality is not required for the switching system.

2. Attach one end of a UTP cable into the RJ-45 port on your IQ module. Attach the other end of

the cable to an RJ-45 server port on the AMX user station.

3. Note the unique identifier (UID) on the back of the IQ for future reference.

Connecting an AMIQDM Module for Dual Port Output
