System Management

The AMX switch uses IP to communicate with the AMWorks software and synchronize all AMX switch databases. You can provide a unique ID for each AMX switching system configuration so that multiple configurations can be connected to and managed on the same subnet.

All AMX switches that are part of the same AMX configuration should have the same configuration ID.

NOTE: Configuration ID can only be used in IPv4 mode.

Set the IDs of all AMX switching system configurations that will be connected to the same subnet as shown in the following table. Continue this numbering system for all other AMX switching system configurations connected to the same subnet.
