MAX Servers - Setup and Configuration

Static electricity can damage electronic circuitry. Before touching the MAX server, discharge any accumulated static electricity from your body by touching a grounded metal object.

Connect a PS/2 mouse and keyboard, and a VGA monitor directly to the MAX server to access the on- board interface, called the MAX Admin Menu (FIG. 12). You’ll use the options in the Admin Menu to configure communication settings and add/remove MAX-AVP Audio/Video Players as well as MAX- AVM and MAX-AOM modules.

Alternatively, you can access the MAX Admin Menu via Telnet, using the Server Configuration feature in the WInMAX software. This requires that the MAX server is configured with an IP address and Subnet Mask settings which are appropriate for your network configuration. Refer to “Step 6: Install and Configure WinMAX Software” for details.

Step 2: Connect the Power Cable(s) and Apply Power

Consider using a UPS with the MAX server, modules and ethernet switch (if applicable).
