Follow Mode
The AMWorks software can be configured to designate certain user stations and servers as leaders.
When a user station designated as a leader performs a switch, the AMWorks software will force
other user stations that have been assigned Follow mode setting to switch to the same server as
the leader.
In Multi-Video mode, the AMWorks software will maintain a connection between the individual
user stations in a group and individual servers in a group. When the leader switches to a server also
designated as a leader, the user stations in the leader’s group will be force switched back to
corresponding servers in the server group.
NOTE: If at any time the leader logs out of the AMX switching system, all user stations in the user station group
will be logged out regardless of their mode or connection.
Example of Follow mode
In a classroom environment, an instructor has 10 student servers and his own linked via an AMX
switch. He has designated his user station as leader and the student user stations as part of its group.
Likewise, he has designated his server as server leader and grouped the student user stations and
servers with it. He has also grouped each student's user station with his or her own server.
When a student asks a question, the instructor switches to that student's server. In this case, a leader
user station is switching to a non-leader server. This is basic Follow mode. When the instructor
executes the switch, the AMWorks software will force switch every student along with him so
everyone will be viewing the same video source.
When the instructor has answered the question, he switches back to his server. (Leader user station
to leader server.) This is Multi-Video mode. The AMWorks software will then force switch each
user back to his or her own server.
