Offline matrix switches
Matrix switches that cannot be contacted by the AMWorks software are considered “offline.”
Offline matrix switches are placed in the offline database under the following conditions:
• When you manually add a matrix switch using the Add Devices command, and the switch
cannot be contacted, the AMWorks software will prompt you to add it to the offline database.
If
Yes is selected from the dialog box, the matrix switch will be placed in the Unknown tree
node.
• If a matrix switch was previously in the Online database, it failed to respond to the AMWorks
software discovery queries during device discovery. The matrix switch is automatically placed
into the offline database. The offline matrix switch is placed into the Offline Devices tree node
under its own name.
• If the matrix switch was previously in the Online database, it failed to respond to the
AMWorks software required synchronization queries during system synchronization. The
matrix switch is automatically placed into the offline database. The offline matrix switch is
placed into the offline tree node under its own name.
Dual AMX Switch Configuration
This feature enables you to connect an AMX user station to two AMX switches in the same
switching system to take advantage of the following benefits:
• Redundancy - Connect your target servers using dual port AMIQDM modules to two AMX
switches in the same switching system. Through this connection method, you may log in once
to both AMX switches enabling access to the same set of target servers. If one of the AMX
switches has a power failure, the second AMX switch provides an alternate path to access the
target servers.
NOTE: Connection through an alternate path may happen automatically if Persistent mode is enabled on the
user station OSD. Refer to the AMX Switch Installer/User Guide for configuration information.
• Scalability - Extend your user station access to additional target servers connected to a second
AMX switch in the same switching system.
