Product Overview

The AMWorks

®

software is a Java™-based system administration tool that enables you to easily

customize the user, server, device and security environments of your Avocent AMX

®

switching

system. The AMWorks software supports the management of a cross-subnet AMX switch
configuration and automatic synchronization of data through tiers.

Features and Benefits

Comprehensive system administration

The AMWorks software enables you to configure and manage all users, servers and AMX
switching system devices across networks through one easy-to-navigate interface. Using
AMWorks software, you can display user and server information and group membership, as well as
user login status and device configuration. Overall system management includes verifying device
communication, initiating software updates, removing offline devices and synchronizing databases.

Cross network discovery

Cross network discovery is the mechanism used by the AMWorks software to automatically
determine the matrix switches on the AMX switching system configuration.

Multimedia modules

The AMWorks software enables you to discover AMIQDM-PS2, AMIQDM-USB and AMIQDM-
VSN dual port/multimedia modules connected to your AMX switching system. The AMIQDM
modules provide multimedia access to attached servers and may be connected to two AMX
switches, an AMX switch and user station or two ports on the same AMX switch.

Multimedia feature

The AMWorks software provides settings for enabling and disabling the multimedia features
(audio and serial) of the AMIQDM module for users and servers individually and globally. These
features can also be set for the AMWorks software administrator.

Multilevel access to servers with password protection for each user

Each user profile supports a username and password for increased system security. User access to
each system server can be individually configured with No access, View Only or Full access rights.
