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.

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 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. FIG. 2 Network Segment Layout 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...
