AMS Media System
• The USB port on the AMS connects to the USB port on the PC via the
included USB cable.
• Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry using the
expected communication protocol (USB). When multiple USB devices are
connected, identify the AMS by entering “AMS” in the Model textbox, the
unit’s serial number in the Serial textbox or the unit’s hostname in the
Hostname textbox. The hostname can be found in the “System Info”
window in the section marked Ethernet however, communications must be
established in order to see this information in the “System Info” window.
• Display the AMS’ “System Info” window (click the
icon);
communications are confirmed when the device information is displayed.
TCP/IP
NOTE: A connection to an Ethernet network is required for operation with a
CEN-IDOC, AAS, or any other TCP/IP enabled device.

ETHERNET
• Establish serial or USB communication between AMS and PC.
• Enter the IP address, IP mask, and default router of the AMS via Crestron
Toolbox (Functions | Ethernet Addressing); otherwise enable DHCP.
NOTE: When taken out of the box, the AMS is configured for DHCP
operation. If a DHCP server is available and the AMS is connected to the
network, the IP address can be obtained from the About screen as described
on page 57.
• Confirm Ethernet connections between AMS and PC. If connecting through
a hub, use CAT5 straight through cables with 8-pin RJ-45 connectors.
Alternatively, Use a CAT5 crossover cable to connect the two LAN ports
directly, without using a hub.
• Use the Address Book in Crestron Toolbox to create an entry for the
AMS with the AMS’ TCP/IP communication parameters.
• Display the “System Info” window (click the
icon) and select the
AMS entry. Communications are confirmed when the device information is
displayed.
