Installation

Adding the AVP to a MAX System

There are two procedures involved in adding the MAX-AVP to a MAX System:

IMPORTANT! MAX-HT Servers require a 24-hour initialization period. This simply entails powering up the server and letting it charge and initiate for 24 hours before use. Failure to allow this initialization to complete may cause performance problems during media playback.

Step One: Installing the MAX-AVP Key In the MAX-HT Server

In order for the AVP(s) in the system to be recognized by the MAX-HT server, they must each be added to the system.

Use the Server Configuration options in the WinMAX software application (available for download at www.amx.com) to add AVPs to the MAX-HT server.

The process for adding AVPs to the MAX-HT server is identical to adding AVMs, and

AVPs are added as AVMs in the Add Output Modules admin menu:

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 > AVM to access the Enter Output Number dialog.

3.In the Enter Output Number field, enter an available server output/zone number (range = 1 - 33). Click OK to proceed.

The server will not allow you to assign an 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, AVM or AVP) have already been added to the server, then assign the AVP to the next available output.

Note that AVPs take only one output on the MAX-HT server.

4.In the Enter Serial Number field, enter the Setup Key (number) of the AVP you are adding to the system in the text box.

The Setup Key number is printed on a decal located on the underside of each AVP enclosure.

5.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. AVP modules are listed by output /zone number assignment, serial number and IP address.

Select Remove to remove an existing output module from the system.
