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.

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