Chapter 8: Managing AMX Switching System Devices 51
You may create an environment where critical servers that require redundancy are connected to
both AMX switches. In addition, you can increase user station access to non-critical target servers
connected to either of the two AMX switches.
In a dual matrix switch configuration, all connection and configuration changes are made through
port 1 of the user station.
NOTE: The dual AMX switch configuration is supported on AMX5111, AMX5121 and AMX5130 user stations.
Editing and Viewing AMX User Stations
When you select an AMX user station from the list of devices, the screen displays hardware and
software information. In addition, the connectivity table displays the user station ports connected to
the AMX switch. In a dual AMX switch configuration where you have connected both user station
ports, the connectivity table displays the connection information for each port. The connectivity
table is updated as changes take place in the AMX switching system. For example, when a cable is
connected or disconnected from an AMX user station, the connectivity table is updated
dynamically. In a dual matrix configuration when both cables are disconnected from the AMX user
station, the user station is removed from the list of devices.
To display a list of AMX user stations:
1. Double-click the Devices icon in the group selector pane.
2. Select AMX User Station . The display screen will list the names of attached AMX user
stations, their identification numbers and the name of the user logged in to each.

The display screen list the hardware version, software version, FPGA version, UID, number of
input ports, the name of the user logged in and the server that is logged into. In addition, the
connectivity table displays the user station ports and AMX switch ports configuration.
