    Ethernet (POE): Used for connecting the AMP203 in your Ethernet network with PoE (power over Ethernet). The AMP203 complies with the IEEE 802.3 bt standard, which can draw a power up to 100 Watt from the networking equipment. The maximum output power is depending on the power delivered by the network infra- structure.

    (optional) 24 Volts power connection. 1) 24 Volts power connection The 24 Volts power supply connection is located on the left side of the AMP203’s rear panel. This power connection is an optional connection, only to be used in applications where the networking infrastructure is not capable of delivering (sufficient) power over PoE.
  • Page 12 Chapter 3 AMP203 Quick start guide This chapter guides you through the setup process for a basic AMP203 project where an external Dante source is connected to the network (e.g. AUDAC XMP44). The control of the system is done through an external wall panel or Audac Touch 2.
  • Page 13 Configuring the AMP203 1) Dante controller Once all connections are made, and the AMP203 is operational, the routing for the Dante audio transfer can be made. For configuration of the routing, the Audinate Dante Controller software shall be used. The use of this tool is extensively described in the Dante controller user guide which can be downloaded from both audac (www.audac.eu) or Audinate (www.audinate.com) websites.
  • Page 14 Once the Dante routing settings are made through the Dante controller, other settings of the AMP203 itself can be configured using the Audac Touch 2 application, which can be freely downloaded and operated from various platforms. This is very intuitive to be operated and automatically discovers all available compatible products in your network.

    Chapter 4 Audac Touch™ 2 The AMP203 can be configured and controlled through the Audac Touch™ 2 application which is freely available for Android, iOS, Windows, Linux and MacOS. Using this freely available solution, application specific dashboards can be created and customized, allowing the control of multiple devices from one single application.

    Click on one of the devices in the list to open the device’s page. The first time a device is opened a password will be prompted. In the case of the AMP203, the factory default administrator password is ‘AMP203’. After entering the correct password the device page will be shown with all available controls.
  • Page 17 Settings By clicking the settings button in the top right corner on the devices page the device settings can be changed. The settings for the AMP203 are divided into the following categories: Device, Inputs, Power, Network, Authentication. Settings >> Device Device/Zone name The device name can be configured here.
  • Page 18 Set enable inputs Each input channel can be individually enabled and disabled. Disabling inputs will make them disappear from the inputs selectable in the Audac Touch™ 2 widgets, and they also won’t be selectable from any connected wall panel or peripheral.
  • Page 19 Settings >> Authentication Change admin password The administrator password can be changed here. The factory default administrator password is ‘AMP203’. The administrator password gives access to all functions and settings of the amplifier. Change user password: The user password can be changed here. The factory default user password is ‘user’. The user password only gives access to the standard operational functions of the amplifier such as volume adjustments and input selection.

    Chapter 5 Peripheral connections In addition to the controllable functions through Audac Touch™ 2, additional wall control panels can be locally connected (e.g. MWX45 wal panels). This allows basic control functions such as volume control and input selection. When multiple units are configured through TouchLink™, all units within the same configured zone will be responding.

  • Page 21: Additional Information

    Many AUDAC products are controllable by Ethernet. The Ethernet connection which is used on the AUDAC products is TCP/IP based like 99% of the computer networks. There are some basics that you need to know to successfully make a TCP/IP Ethernet connection.
  • Page 22 IP range, the AUDAC products will not be accessible from your network. You can change the IP address of the AUDAC products to make them work properly in your network. For Dante based AUDAC products this can be done using the DANTE controller.
