power socket on the rear of the unit. Plug the other end into an
appropriate AC wall outlet.

AMX5120 show the activity status of each port. When a valid connection
is made, the green LED illuminates. The yellow LED will blink to indicate
data transfer.
If you wish to connect a local computer to the AMX through an AMX user
station, follow the instructions in the next section.
NOTE: Power down the AMX switch before servicing. Always disconnect the power cord from
the wall outlet.
Connecting a local computer to the AMX
After all users are connected to the AMX system, you can connect a local
computer to the AMX switch through the user station (AMX5110
and AMX5120 only).
To connect a local computer to the AMX switch:
1. Locate an AMIQ module appropriate to the server you wish to attach.
2. Plug the AMIQ keyboard, monitor and mouse connectors into the
appropriate ports on the back of the selected server.
3. Connect one end of a UTP cable into the RJ-45 port on your AMIQ
module. Route the cable to your AMX user station and connect the other
end to the RJ-45 server port. Check the unique identifi er (UID) on the
back of the AMIQ and log it for future use. When the attached computer is
powered and a valid UTP connection is made to an AMX switch, the
green light on the AMIQ will illuminate.
