Mounting
The AMC can be easily mounted in any standard 19” equipment rack. Device location is very flexible as it usually only requires
AC Power and a network connection able to reach the same network as the associated MultiPlayer. If the USB serial ports are
used (rarely) the distance to the serial data source should be taken in account making placement more distance critical.
Wiring
Connect the AMC to the same network as the MultiPlayer. Provide AC power.
Configuring
The AMC is initially configured with both factory default static IP Address at 192.168.0.210 and DHCP client for network
administrators wishing to manage DHCP access to these devices. The media access control address (MAC address) is printed
on the rear panel of the device, so network administrators may assign a specific IP address to the unit through the network
DHCP server. Please contact your network administrator if you have questions regarding your network connections.
