Working with MAX Servers

DXP-HT v1.3 (or higher) supports MAX-MMS and MAX-IMS media servers. DXP-HT treats
these devices essentially the same as any other IP-controlled device (such as MP3 players). There
are just a few points to understand in order to add MAX servers to a DXP-HT project:
Each device IP Address must be unique, with only one exception: MAX servers can
use one IP with multiple output zones per display name entry. For example, a MAX-
IMS assigned to IP Address 1.1.1.1 - Zone 1 can exist in the same project as another
MAX-IMS assigned to IP Address 1.1.1.1 - Zone 2. But you cannot assign two MAX
servers with the same IP Address and Output Zone (you will receive an error
message).
Refer to the MAX-MMS and MAX-IMS Installation Guides (available online at www.amx.com)
for details.

Govern Power - This option enables governing power to the device, which means that
the System constantly monitors power to the device (for use with power sensors) rather
than simply toggling power On/Off.
Device/Power Feedback - This option enables the display of power status of the device
on the touch panel. If this option is enabled, use the radio buttons to specify a Power
Sensing Method, based on the type of power sensor being used with the device (PSS2,
VSS2 or TVS).
Power Sensing Method - Activated by enabling the Govern Power option (described
above). Use the radio button to select the method of power sensing being used. This
available power sensors include: PCS2 (Dual Power Current Sensor), VSS2 (Video Sync
Sensor), and TVS (TV Sensor).
IR Timing Parameters - Use the up/down arrows to adjust the time gap between Power
On and Power Off IR pulses, in 1/10 second increments (default = 50).
The MAX-MMS and MAX-IMS servers are IP-control only, and they must be used with
AMX G4 touch panels (see Supported Touch Panels).
Each MAX-AVM A/V Module connected to a MAX-MMS server must each be set to a
unique zone number (per server).
If multiple MAX-MMS or MAX-IMS servers are used in a project, each server must have
its own unique IP Address.
