Linux server, which mitigates all communications to all the IPX units (devices and wall plates). The RXS-1 serves up Aurora’s IPBaseT Manager Pro to any regular or mobile web browser. ReAX is a Javascript based IP control system as well allowing full room/building automation or if desired a 3 party control systems can be utilized with the available API. -
Page 20: Controlling The Ipx With Multiple Servers For Redundancy
User Guide Controlling the IPX with Multiple Servers for Redundancy Multiple RXS-1 servers can run on the same network for redundancy. It is important only one communicates at any given time or incomplete commands may occur between units communicating simultaneously. IPBaseT Manager will only connect to one server at a time but it is important for every PC running IPBaseT Manager they all point to the same server at the same time. -

Page 22: Hardware Installation
User Guide HARDWARE INSTALLATION Network Setup 1. Connect a 10GbE network switch and make certain IGMP Snooping features are enabled. 2. Connect fiber or UTP CAT cable accordingly to the network switch and to the IPX units. 3. Connect the RXS-1 Server to the network switch and power on. Follow instructions for the RXS-1 to set the IP address for remote control. -
