Connecting the MAX-BSM to Your PC via WinMAX
Use the WinMAX software application (available for download from
www.amx.com) to establish initial communications with the BSM module.
You should install the WinMAX application before connecting the IMS
server to your PC.
Downloading WinMAX from www.amx.com
The WinMAX software application can be downloaded from www.amx.com
as a self-extracting executable. As part of the installation process, it
automatically searches for and replaces older versions of WinMAX. To
download WinMAX:
1. Go to www.amx.com and log in. You must be logged in as a dealer to
download AMX applications.

4. Read the AMX License Agreement and click I Accept to continue.
5. In the File Download dialog:
• Click Save to save the WinMAX installation .EXE file to a local drive
(or LAN).
• Click Open to begin the installation immediately.
Once installed, by default the program resides in your Programs directory.

Connecting the MAX-BSM to your PC
1. If its not already installed, load the WinMAX application on your PC.
If you intend to connect to the BSM via a LAN connection, verify that
the PC is communicating properly with the network.
2. Use an RJ-45 twisted pair cable to connect the Ethernet port on the
BSM to the LAN that your PC is on.
Alternatively, you can connect the PC directly to the BSM's Ethernet
port using an Ethernet crossover cable.
3. Connect the supplied power cable, and turn on the power switch.
(allow up to one minute for the BSM to boot up).
Establishing Communication via WinMAX
Once the BSM module has booted up, launch the WinMAX software on
your PC. When the WinMAX application is launched, the first thing that
happens is that the program attempts to establish communication with the
BSM.
The default IP address of the server is 192.168.1.29. If this hasn't been
changed, the WinMAX program should launch successfully.
If You Don't Connect
If you receive an error when you launch WinMAX indicating that you have
not connected to the BSM module, click OK to close any error messages
that occur, and WinMAX will launch. In this situation, the application opens
to the System Information tab by default, where you will specify the IP
Address of the BSM:
1. Type 192.168.1.29 into the field labeled Server's IP Address or URL.
2. Click on the disk icon next to the text-entry field to save this configura-
tion. The blank fields should fill in momentarily, indicating that the BSM
server has been recognized.
