Adding a MAX-IMS or MMS Server to the Project
To add the MAX device to your system, click the
Add
button in the
System Information
dialog.
This opens the
Device Configuration
dialog -
Device Data
tab.
In the Device Data tab:
1.
Select
AMX MAX
from the
Source Type
drop-down list.
2.
Enter a name for the device in the
Display Name
field. This is the name for the device that will
appear on the touch panel.
3.
Select the
Control Logic
, based on which type of MAX server you are adding (either IMS or
MMS).
4.
In the
IP Data
field, enter the MAX server's IP Address.
5.
Select an Output Zone number, which must be unique per each server used in a project.
For example, if a system has two MMS servers, each MMS could have an Output Zone 1.
Working with MAX Servers
DXP-PRO supports MAX-MMS and MAX-IMS media servers.
DXP-PRO treats these devices essentially the same as any other Ethernet-controlled device (such as
MP3 players). There are just a few points to understand in order to add MAX servers to a
DXP-PRO project:
The MAX-MMS and MAX-IMS servers are Ethernet-control only.
They must be used with AMX G4 touch panels (refer to the
Supported Touch
Panels
section on page 5).
The MAX-AVM A/V Module(s) connected to the MAX server must each be set to a
unique zone number (per server).
If multiple MAX-MMS or MAX-IMS servers are used in a project, each server must have
a unique IP Address.
Refer to the MAX-MMS and MAX-IMS Installation Guides (available online at
www.amx.com
) for details.
The default IP Address for the IMS and MMS servers is
192.168.1.30
.
An identical IP Address can't be assigned to more than one device, with the exception
of a MAX. A MAX unit can ONLY have an identical IP
only
if it uses different zones
per display name entry. Ex: A MAX-IMS assigned to IP Address 1.1.1.1 - Zone 1 can
exist in the same project as another MAX-IMS assigned to IP Address 1.1.1.1 -
Zone 2. If you assign to max units with the same IP Address and Output Zone, you
will receive an error message.
