WARNING
One AMR-100 can be controlled by multiple Amb-O User Interface
programs on different computers, but without proper precautions,
unpredictable results can be experienced.
ee the Amb-O User Interface manual on how to use multiple
computers on a single AMR-100.
NOTE
As of this version of software, only one AMR-100 can be controlled by
the Amb-O User Interface software on a single PC. With multiple AMR-
100s each AMR-100 needs a separate computer controlling each
individual receiver.

Front Panel Description
The front panel display gives the status of the receiver. The main screen shows relays, audio output,
and the status of the RF and Ethernet/Internet (see Front Panel section).
Relays [UP] arrow Back
Audio Status Indicators In Out

WARNING
To receive programs on the AMR-100, log in into the Amb-O
permission portal (http://www.amb-os.com/permissions) to request
programs. Without requesting programs, the AMR-100 will not receive
any programs.

Rear Panel Description
Connections
16 17
1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 1 13 14 15
1. Power – A standard computer type (IEC) power cable is used
2. RF – F-type Connector: L-Band input from the satellite antenna
3. RS-232 – 9-pin sub-d female (DTE) connector for serial communication (a modem cable is
needed to connect to a computer)
4. Ethernet – Standard RJ-45 Ethernet network cable connection
5. Reset Switch
Reboots the receiver without performing a power recycle. It also preserves the system logs.
6-15. Audio outputs:
Two sets of two stereo analog outputs correspond to the digital outputs. They are listed in
order from left to right.
6-8. Digital – Port 1 (outputs the same audio as port 1 analog outputs (12, 13)
6. AES-EBU – XLR type connector
. SPDIF – BNC connector
8. Optical – standard optical cable
9-11. Digital – Port 2 (outputs the same audio as port 2 analog outputs (14, 15)
9. AES-EBU – XLR type connector
10. SPDIF – BNC connector
11. Optical – standard optical cable
12, 13. Analog – Port 1
12. XLR connector – Left channel
13. XLR connector – Right channel
14, 15. Analog – Port 2
14. XLR connector – Left channel
15. XLR connector – Right channel
16. Relays – 25-pin sub-d connector (the pin out is described in the Relay Specifications section)
1 . Expansion relays and the digital input ports were never implemented.

WARNING
Resetting the AMR-100 stops the audio playback until the AMR-
100 has finished booting.

QUICK START
To begin receiving files, first connect the RF cable then the audio outputs (to play back programs)
and the Ethernet cable (to transfer files to a computer) then connect the power cord. The Installation
Section has detailed connection instructions. Request program permissions by using the permission
portal page at http://www.amb-os.com/permissions.
RF
Connect the RF cable first. If other equipment uses the same
satellite dish as the AMR-100 receiver, verify the unit providing
power to the LNB, because only one device may supply power to
the LNB. With multiple devices, refer to the detailed instructions
and diagrams in the RF Installation section.
Audio
The most commonly used audio connections will be the XLR type
low impedance analog audio. Plug the cables into the desired port. A
detailed description of the ports can be found in the Program
Playback section under Ports and Targets. To connect one of the
digital outputs, use the appropriate connector. Please go to the
Digital Audio installation section.
Ethernet Connection
Plug in the Ethernet cable into the 10/100
Base T Network connection on the back of
the receiver. The default setting for the IP
address setting uses DHCP. If the network
does not use DHCP, then the AMR-100 will
not connect to the network or the Internet and
result in an alarm mode after applying power.
The Ethernet cable can be attached after booting the AMR-100 and verify ing the network settings.
However, the front panel will indicate a problem with the LAN and Internet subsystems until the
Ethernet cable is attached with the correct network settings.
Rev. 45 – Firmware Version 2.36 9 ©2015
NOTE
The Ethernet cable can be attached after booting the AMR-100 to verify
the IP address settings. However, the front panel will indicate a
problem with the LAN and Internet subsystems until the IP address is
set and the Ethernet cable attached.
WARNING
Verify the IP address and the DHCP settings. Improperly setting the IP
address can result in duplicate IP addresses on the network and
prevent the AMR-100 from connecting to the network.

If programs are only played out the audio ports, the Ethernet connection allows checking the system
statistics, setting up a playlist, manually playing programs, and making sure programs arrive error
free even when the RF fails. This virtually guarantees that all programs arrive. It also aids in
troubleshooting for Amb-OS technicians to get a problem fixed quickly.
Power
After connecting the RF, Audio and Ethernet cables,
connect the AC power cord. Immediately after
connecting the power cord, the AMR-100’s front panel
light turns on and it begins its boot process.
Boot Display
Normal
Assuming the RF was connected to the
satellite antenna and the network
settings are correct, the screen should
have the status boxes dark and the last
box on the top of the screen (relay #6)
clear.
Errors
If the last box on the top of the screen
(relay #6) is dark, then one or more of
the status boxes will be clear. If relay #6
is dark, check the error condition section
in the appendix.
Error if Ethernet Attached after Power
If the Ethernet cable was not attached
before applying power then relay #6
activates (the box becomes dark). The
LAN and Internet subsystems produce
and error condition. Check and set the IP
address, verify the internal network is
working and attach the Ethernet cable.

NOTE
It is highly recommended that the AMR-100 have access to the Internet
to insure error free reception of files.
