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

correspon

ding 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 th

e server has completely powered up, proceed to the

next step.

5. Attach one end of a UTP cable into a numbered server

port 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
