MAX MMS-04S MultiMedia Server

MAX MMS-04S Multimedia Server

The MAX MMS-04S Multimedia Server (FIG. 1) utilizes a RAID5 disk drive system to

keep an ever expanding library of DVDs and CDs well organized, simple to access,

and easy to use. The MMS-04S server features a robust internal hard drive system

that allows you to efficiently manage hundreds of DVDs and CDs.

The MMS-04S accommodates single and multi-room video distribution, allowing the

user to search and select chapters, titles and tracks. Video is stored in native DVD

format to fully capture the quality of the original video. Music is stored in native audio

CD format (although the MMS provides playback of MP3 files as well).

• The MMS-04S supports up to 25 MAX-AVM audio/video modules, via ethernet.

• The MMS-04S supports up to 2 MAX-AOM audio-only modules, via USB.

Product Specifications

Initial Setup and Configuration

The following sections describe the basic process of setting up the MMS server and

making the configurations required to get the server up and running with one or more

MAX-AVM and/or MAX-AOM modules.

Follow the directions outlined below, and refer to FIG 1 for the location and orientation

of the connectors mentioned in these steps.

Use the WinMAX software to add/remove content on the MMS server, and control

playback. Additional documentation, including the WinMAX Software Instruction

Manual and the MAX by AMX Reference Guide are available online at www.amx.com.

Note: Static electricity can damage electronic circuitry. Before touching the MMS,

discharge any accumulated static electricity from your body by touching a grounded

metal object.

Network Segment Layout for MMS Servers

It is required that the control segment of the network is kept separated from the

(switched) content delivery segment, as indicated in FIG. 2.

Step 1: Connect a Mouse, Keyboard and VGA Monitor

Connect a PS/2 mouse and keyboard, and a VGA monitor directly to the MMS server

to access the on-board interface, called the MAX Admin Menu (FIG. 3). You’ll use the

options in the Admin Menu to configure communication settings and add/remove

MAX-AVM and MAX-AOM modules.

Note: Alternatively, you can access the MAX Admin Menu via Telnet, using the Server

Configuration feature in the WInMAX software. This requires that the MMS server is

configured with an IP address and Subnet Mask settings which are appropriate for

your network configuration. Refer to “Step 7: Install and Configure WinMAX Software”

for details.

Step 2: Connect the Power Cables and Apply Power

Note: Consider using a UPS with the MMS server, modules and ethernet switch (if

applicable).

1. Connect both of the power supplies, using the supplied power cords.

2. Push the Power On/Off pushbutton to apply power.

3. Allow up to one minute for the MMS server to boot-up.

Shutting Down the MMS Server

Always shut down the MMS server is via the Shutdown command in the MAX Admin

Menu. This allows the operating system to shut down completely before power is

removed, and prevents the time-consuming reinitialization process that results from an

improper shut down (and cannot be cancelled).

Step 3: Access the MAX Admin Menu

Once the boot-up process is complete, the MAX Admin Menu (FIG. 3) is displayed:

Working With the MAX Admin Menu

• Use the arrow keys on the keyboard to highlight the desired option, and press

Enter to make a selection. Do not use the arrow keys on your keyboard’s numeric

keypad.

• Beyond this menu, press the TAB button to navigate through the elements on the

pages until an asterisk appears next to the desired selection.

• Press the spacebar to make a selection (press again to de-select).
