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

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

Getting Started
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 at the Amb-OS
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 one 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.
Rev. 40 – Firmware Version 2.28 7 ©2014

Audio
The most commonly used audio connections will be the XLR type
low impedance analog audio. Plug the cables into the desired port or
target. A detailed description of the ports can be found in the Audio
Installation section. 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.
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 Amb-OS
technicians when troubleshooting to get a problem fixed quickly.
Power
After connecting the RF, Audio and Ethernet cables,
connect the AC power cord. As soon as the power cord is
inserted, The AMR-100’s front panel light turns on and it
begins its power up sequence and initialization process.
Rev. 40 – Firmware Version 2.28 8 ©2014
NOTE
The front panel light is only a power indicator light and not a power
switch.
NOTE
It is highly recommended that the AMR 100 has access to the Internet
to insure error free reception of files.
WARNING
Verify the IP address and the DHCP
settings. Improperly setting the IP address
can result in duplicate IP addresses on
the network and cause a network failure.

Boot Process
After the AMR-100 receives power, it begins its startup process, which takes about twenty seconds.
1. Reset the drive
4. Initialize receiver
2. Initialize drive
5. Finished booting
3. Scanning file system
Relay #6 should be clear
(no alarms)
If the receiver has been setup correctly, the “Sat,” “Lan,” and “Inet” boxes should be black and the
other boxes should all be clear.
1. The “Sat” box means the RF is receiving the proper signal from the satellite.
2. The “Lan” box means the receiver is communicating with the local network.
3. The “Inet” box means the receiver is communicating with the uplink server.
4. With no audio playing the “St-1” and “St-2” should be clear.
5. The two boxes on the top far right (relays #5 and #6) should be clear (no alarms).
If the AMR-100 could not connect to the network because of incorrectly configured IP addresses, the
finished boot screen has relay #6 dark and the “Lan” and “Inet” boxes will be light.

Error Conditions
If the RF cable to the satellite dish is not connected or not functioning properly, but the Ethernet cable
is connected, properly configured and connected to the Internet, relay #6 will be active (dark) and the
“Sat” box will be clear. To verify the RF connection, see the RF installation section.
If the Ethernet cable has been connected and there is a valid IP address, but no connection to the
Internet, the “Sat” box and the “Lan” box will be dark and relay #6 (network error) will also be dark.
To properly set the IP addresses and server ports for to connect to the Internet, see the Installation
section and the Ethernet section.
If the Ethernet cable is not connected, the IP address is incorrect or another network problem exists,
only the “Sat” box and relay #6 should be dark. To set the IP address correctly, see the Ethernet
section.
After plugging in the power without the RF or Ethernet cables connected, relay #6 will be active
(dark). If the RF cable has been connected, but it is still not active (dark), then either a problem exists
with the cable or the LNB is not getting power. Verify the RF connections. If the Ethernet cable is
connected, but the “Lan” and/or the “Inet” boxes are not active (clear), then a problem exists with the
network configurations. See the Installation section for a complete discussion on connecting the RF
cable and setting IP addresses.
