Figure 2.10: AMIQDM Module Dual Port Connectivity
To connect an AMIQDM module for dual port output:
1. Power down the target device.
2. Attach the AMIQDM module keyboard, video, mouse, audio and serial connectors into the
correspondin
g ports on the back of the target device. Audio and serial connections may be left
unconnected if this functionality is not required for the switching system.
3. Repeat step 2 for each additional target device to be connected to the
AMX switch.
4. Power up the target device. When the
server has completely powered up, proceed to the
next step.
5. Attach one end of a UTP cable into a numbered server p
ort on one of the AMX switches.
Attach the other end into either RJ-45 port on the AMIQDM module. Repeat this step to attach
the second AMX switch to the remaining RJ-45 port on the AMIQDM module.
6. If the AMX switches are not already powered, do so now.
NOTE: If a target device is unavailable through the AMX switching system, make sure that all AMX switching
system target devices and components are powered up and all cables are correctly attached. If operation is not
restored, test the connection with another AMIQDM module or with another port on the AMX switch.
Installing a Cascaded AMX Switching System
Multiple KVM switches can be connected to the switching system to provide access to additional
target devices. You can connect target devices to up to three levels of AMX or non-Avocent KVM
switches. When cascading AMX switches, you can seamlessly connect to any target device from a
AMX Switch
