To connect serial devices to the AMX switching system:
NOTE: The AMIQ-SRL module is a DCE device and only supports VT100 terminal emulation.
1. Attach the AMIQ-SRL module to the serial port of the device to be attached.
2. Attach one end of a UTP cable to the RJ-45 connector on the AMIQ-SRL module. Attach the
other end of the cable to an RJ-45 server port on the back panel of the AMX switch.
3. Attach the power supply to the power connector on the AMIQ-SRL module. Up to four AMIQ-
SRL modules can be powered from a single power supply.
4. Attach the AMIQ-SRL module power supply to an AC wall outlet.
Repeat this procedure for every serial device that will be attached to the AMX switching system.
