3.Enter an available server output/zone number (between 1 - 33). This is the Output Number that will appear in the WinMAX software.
Note: The server will not allow you to assign an audio output to an output/zone that is already in use. To determine which server outputs are already being used, select View from the Output Module Setup menu.
•If other output modules (AOM or AVM) have already been added to the server, then assign the AOM to the next available output. For example, if you had already added 10 output modules to the server, then this AOM should be assigned to output 11.
•Note that AOMs use up to 4 outputs on the MMS server, while AVMs use only one.
•If you are adding only one AOM module to the server, then you’ll specify up to four server output/zones (one for each of the four possible audio outputs on the AOM). If you are adding two AOMs

Adding the MAX-AOM to the MMS Server
In order for AOM(s) to be recognized by the MMS server, they must each be added to the system, via the Add Output Module options in the MAX Admin Menu.
Add the AOM(s) to the server (as described below) before physically connecting the module(s).
Since AOMs provide up to four audio outputs per USB port on the MMS server, each of the AOM audio outputs must be associated with a specific output/zone on the MMS server:
Note: The
1.Open the System Information tab in WinMAX, and click on the Server Configuration button to access the MAX Admin menu.
2.Go to Output Module Setup > Add Output Module > AOM to access the Enter Output Number dialog.
MMS Output/Zone | USB port connection | AOM Audio output |
|
|
|
1 | AOM 1 (on USB 1) | AOM 1 - Audio Output 1 |
|
|
|
2 | AOM 1 (on USB 1) | AOM 1 - Audio Output 2 |
|
|
|
3 | AOM 1 (on USB 1) | AOM 1 - Audio Output 3 |

4.In the Enter USB port number field, enter the number of the USB port on the MMS server that this AOM will be connected to (range = 1 - 2). If you are using a
5.In the Enter AOM output number field, specify which of the four available audio outputs on the AOM you are adding (range = 1 - 4) to the MMS server output number specified in step 1.
6.The system will notify you that the module has been added to the system. Click OK to return to the Output Module Setup menu.
Once the module has been added, select View from the Output Module Setup menu. The module you just added should appear in the list of Installed Output Modules. AOM modules are listed by MMS output /zone number assignment, USB port number and AOM output number.
•Select View from the Admin menu to view a list of all output modules (AOMs and AVMs) already in the system.
•Select Remove to remove an existing output module from the system.
Connecting to MMS Servers
Once the AOM has been added to the server, you can connect it to the MMS server and audio system(s):
1.Connect the AOM(s) to an audio system (amplifier, switcher, etc.) using one of two options:
a)Use stereo RCA cables for analog audio output.
b)Use a coaxial cable for digital audio output.
2.Connect the included power supply to the rear panel power connector on the AOM to apply power to the module.
3.Use the supplied 6’ USB cable to connect a USB port on the rear panel of the MMS server to the USB port on the rear panel of the
Additional Information on USB Ports 1 and 2 (on the
If you are using both USB connectors on the MMS server, be sure to note which audio zones are associated with the AOM connected to each USB port:
•The USB 1 port is for audio outputs 1 through 4.
•The USB 2 port is for audio outputs 5 through 8.
In this scenario, if the AOM connected to USB port 1 on the server (providing AOM outputs
