AMX Audio-Only Module MAX-AOM - Manual (Page 8)

MAX-AOM Audio-Only (USB) Module
4 MAX AOM and AVM Modules
Installing the MAX-AOM
Adding the MAX-AOM to the MMS Server
In order for AOM(s) to be recognized by the MMS server, they must each be added to the system, via the
Add Output Module options in the MAX Admin Menu. Add the AOM(s) to the server (as described
below) before physically connecting the module(s). Since AOMs provide up to four audio outputs per
USB port on the MMS server, each of the AOM audio outputs must be associated with a specific output/
zone on 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 > AOM to access the Enter Output Number
dialog.
3. Enter an available server output/zone number (between 1 - 33). This is the
Output Number that will appear in the WinMAX software.
If other output modules (AOM or AVM) have already been added to the server, then assign the
AOM to the next available output. For example, if you had already added 10 output modules
to the server, then this AOM should be assigned to output 11.
Note that AOMs use up to 4 outputs on the MMS server, while AVMs use only one.

The MMS-01S, -02S and 02SB servers feature two built-in audio outputs, which
occupy the first two outputs on (internal) USB 1 port for those servers. Refer to the
MMS-01S, -02S and -02SB Installation Guides for details on configuring the audio
outputs for external AOMs.
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.
