MAX-AVM Audio-Video Module
13 MAX AOM and AVM Modules
Connecting the MAX-AVM to an MMS Server and Display Device
Power up the MMS server before applying power to the MAX-AVM.
1. Connect audio outputs using one of the two output options:
a. Use the supplied audio adapter (mini-stereo to RCA) for analog audio output.
b. Use a coaxial cable for digital audio output.
2. Use either a VGA or S-Video cable to connect to the video output on the AVM to the display device.
3. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the AVM’s Ethernet port to a Gigabit Ethernet switch.
4. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Gigabit switch to the A/V OUT connector on the MMS server.
5. Connect the included power supply.
6. Turn on the power button (front panel) and allow up to one minute for the AVM to boot up.
Installing the MAX-AVM Serial Number In the MMS Server
AVMs utilize the system software loaded in the MMS server to boot. In order for the AVM(s) in the
system to be recognized by the MMS server, they must each be added to the system. Use the Server
Configuration options in WinMAX to add AVMs to the MMS server:
1. Open the System Information tab in WinMAX, and click on the Server Configuration button to
access the MAX Admin menu.
2. Go to Output Module Setup > Add Output Module > AVM to access the Enter Output Number
dialog.
3. In the Enter Output Number field, enter an available server output/zone number (range = 1 - 33).
This is the output number that will appear in WinMAX. Click OK to proceed.
If other output modules (AOM or AVM) have already been added to the server, then assign the
AVM to the next available output.
Note that AVMs take only one output on the MMS server.
4. In the Enter Serial Number field, enter the serial number of the AVM you are adding to the system
in the text box. The serial number is printed on a decal located on the underside of each AVM
enclosure.
5. The system will notify you that the module has been added to the system. Click OK to return to the
Output Module Setup menu.
Once the module has been added, select View from the Output Module Setup menu. The module you
just added should appear in the list of Installed Output Modules. AVM modules are listed by MMS
output /zone number assignment, serial number and IP address.
Select Remove to remove an existing output module from the system.
Using a PC Mouse and Keyboard to Control the MAX-AVM
The AVM supports direct control via the Mouse and Keyboard ports located on the rear panel. Direct
control requires connecting a mouse, keyboard and display monitor to the AVM:
1. Verify that the AVM is powered off.
2. Connect a display monitor to the VGA Out (or S-Video) port on the rear panel of the AVM.
3. Plug a PC mouse and keyboard into the Mouse and Keyboard ports on the rear panel of the AVM.
The server will not allow you to assign an audio output to an output/zone that is
already in use. To determine which server outputs are already being used, select
View from the Output Module Setup menu.
