System Management
The AMX switch uses IP to communicate with the AMWo

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

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
