indicate the connection status of each port. The yellow LEDs indicate the

AMIQ module
The AMIQ (PS/2, Sun and USB) module features only one green LED. This
indicator shows that the attached computer is powered, and a valid UTP
connection has been made to an AMX switch. This LED blinks if a fault has
been detected.
AMIQ-SRL module
The AMIQ-SRL module features two green LEDs: Power and Selected. When
illuminated, Power indicates that the module has power, and Selected indicates
that a valid UTP connection has been made to an AMX switch. The serial
interface will not generate a serial break to the attached device in the event that
the AMIQ-SRL loses power.

User Operation

Controlling your system at the local port
The AMX user station uses Avocent's patented OSCAR interface, featuring
intuitive menus to configure your system and select servers. OSCAR is easily
accessed and always available at the desktop.
When the AMX user station is powered, you are prompted for your login name
and password. Once you have entered your login name and password, OSCAR
is displayed. You can change your password at any time.
NOTE: When Force User Login is on, you can access only local computers. You must log in to
access remote computers. The default setting of the Force User Login is Off.
