MAX Servers: HT Home Theater and MMS Multimedia Servers
MAX Servers - Setup and Configuration
Overview
The following sections describe the basic process of setting up a MAX server and making the
configurations required to get the server up and running with one or more MAX-AVP Audio/Video
Players and/or MAX-AVM Audio/Video Modules and MAX-AOM Audio-Only (USB) modules.
MAX-MMS Servers support up to 25 MAX-AVM modules and up to 2 MAX-AOM (USB)
modules.
MAX-HT Servers support the AVM and AOM modules as well as MAX-AVP Audio/Video
Players. Since the HT Servers treat AVPs exactly the same as AVMs, each HT server supports
up to a total of 25 AVPs/AVMs.
These steps apply to all MAX servers, unless otherwise noted.

Networking Specifications for MAX Servers

It is required that the control segment of the network (using the ETHERNET CONTROL
connector) is kept separated from the (switched) content delivery segment (using the A/V OUT
connector), as indicated in FIG. 10.
Use the WinMAX software to add/remove content on the MAX server, as well as
control playback and configure the server. Additional documentation, including the
WinMAX Software Instruction Manual and the MAX by AMX Reference Guide are
available online at www.amx.com.
Refer to the Product Specifications section for each server to establish the location
and orientation of the connectors mentioned in these steps.
