Device icons

The AMX switching system and MDM devices are represented in the AMWorks software menu
bar, tree view and connectivity table by the following icons.
Table 3.2: Tree View
Device Icon
AMIQ/AMIQDM module icons
The AMIQDM modules are represented in the AMWorks software tree view by the MDM AMIQ
module icon. The AMIQDM module is represented by only one MDM AMIQ module icon in the
AMWorks software device tree regardless of how it is physically configured. You can display
AMIQDM module connectivity information by clicking on the MDM AMIQ module icon. When
you expand the MDM AMIQ module branch in the tree view and click on the attached server
icon(s), the information panel will display the AMIQDM module name, device type and
port information.
NOTE: The AMIQDM modules in your system will not operate in Dual mode or support multimedia functionality
unless your AMX switching system is upgraded to the latest AMX switch system firmware.

Connectivity table

Connectivity information for each of the devices (matrix switches, user stations and AMIQ
modules) present in the AMX switching system is displayed in a connectivity table when a device
is selected. You may select a device by clicking the device icon in the tree view or by going to the
menu bar and choosing Admin Tools - Find.
The task bar on the connectivity table displays the number and type of connections for the input and
output ports on the selected AMX switch. See Device icons on page 12 for more information.
If an AMIQDM module is connected to two ports on the same switch, there will be two entries for
the AMIQDM module in the connectivity table for that switch. Otherwise, the connectivity table
will display a single entry for each AMIQDM module connected to the selected switch.
