CHAPTER

Connection Control

The AMWorks software can issue commands to AMX user stations and AMIQ modules to perform

switches remotely and/or connect and disconnect users and servers. These commands may be

issued one at a time or to a pre-defined group of devices.

Before connection control commands can be issued, the following must be in effect:

• The system must be synchronized.

• If the command is being sent to a user station, a user must be logged in at that station.

• The logged in user must have permission to access the designated device.

Some instructions may be sent to several user stations/servers at once through the use of a saved

group called a matrix. Once a matrix has been configured, it may be loaded from the Configure

Matrix window as needed.

Forcing a Connection

To remotely switch a user station to a different device:

1. Select Devices - Force Connect from the menu bar to activate the Force Single

Connection

window.

2. Using the drop-down menu, select the user that will be switched. A list of user stations that the

user is logged in on will be displayed beside a list of servers that may be accessed. All users

currently logged into the system are displayed in the User Name drop-down list. Select the user

for whom you wish to force a connection.

3. Select the type of connection by clicking Shared, Private or Maintain.

4. In the User Station column, click the user station that will perform the switch.

5. Click the name of the server to which you wish to connect.

6. Click the Connect button to force the switch.

- or -

Click Exit to exit without forcing a switch.

NOTE: In a dual AMX switch configuration, each AMIQ module appears once in the server list on the Force

Single Connection dialog box.
