The Target tab lists the target devices that can be accessed from your AMX user station and the
available modes for these target devices.

Use the User tab to control and configure your system at the local port. The User tab screens enable
you to change your password, change scan dwell time, set the target flag layout, select target
device hotkey functions and configure the audio and serial features.
Console
The Console tab is used to configure local settings for the AMX user station including country
specific keyboard layout and keyboard type. In addition, you may configure the hotkey sequences,
inactivity time and enable or disable persistent mode.
Admin
The Admin tab displays options for editing user and target device information. Only users with
Administrator rights can access editing screens to configure user and target device information for
the AMX switching system. Any user can access editing screens for the local server. The Admin
tab includes a Users Admin screen and a Device Admin screen.
• Users Admin – This screen allows the Administrator to add, edit and delete users, assign rights
to each target device and force user login. For more information about user administration, see
Users on page 43.
• Device Admin – This screen allows the Administrator to edit the device name, the keyboard
emulation and layout and the IQ module MDM configuration for cascaded switches. Changes
to the target device name are propagated to the IQ module immediately. The Administrator can
also configure the audio and serial emulation for the selected device.
