The AMX switch
The AMX switch provides the framework for the AMX switching system and is available in a
variety of matrix sizes. Each AMX switch can be cascaded to create larger system configurations.
The AMX switch stores a full database of user rights and server names and communicates with the
AMWorks software through an IP (Internet Protocol) port. IPv4 and IPv6 modes are supported.
The AMX user station
The AMX user station, the interface between the AMX switch and system users, stores local
(console) settings and provides connections for peripheral devices. The user station also provides
the OSCAR interface for target device selection and administration.
