Refer to the MAX Servers Instruction Manual (available online at www.amx.com), as
well as the individual Installation Guides for details and installation instruction on
MAX Servers.

Reset Button

A Reset button is incorporated into the name plate on the front of the unit (FIG. 1). If the unit loses
network connectivity, or the unit needs to be reset for any reason (such as after a firmware upgrade),
lightly press and release the Reset button.

Rack Mounting the MAX-AVP

The MAX-AVP comes with rack-ears, to allow mounting the unit in a standard 19" equipment rack - the
AVP will take up a single rack space.
The rack-ear kit includes two steel rack ears and eight sets of flat washers, split lock-washers, and nuts.
The MAX-AVP rack-ears (FIG. 3) feature four mounting posts, to provide a clean installation. These
mounting posts require that the rack-ears are secured to the unit from inside the chassis, so you will have
to remove the cover, as described below:

1. Turn off the AVP, and disconnect the power cord and all connecting cords.
2. Place the unit face up on a soft and dry flat surface.
3. On the rear panel, remove the four screws that secure the top of the enclosure to the bottom (FIG. 4)
and keep them in a safe place for further use:

The Link (L) LED on the right of the Ethernet port should be on (FIG. 2). If not, check your
cables and connectors.
Connect a display device to the AVP to view the Configuration Page for the IP settings (IP
Address and Subnet Mask), and verify that these settings are appropriate for your network
configuration.
