You must send an email to [email protected] or you will not receive any
programs for your AMR- 00-I.

Getting Started
To begin receiving files, you need to connect the Ethernet cable and the power. To play
audio, the audio outputs must also be connected. For detailed instructions, please go to the
Installation Section. To have programs permissioned for your receiver, send an email to
[email protected] with the list of the programs you want to receive.
The Ethernet cable should not be plugged into the AMR-100- until after the first boot so you
can configure the IP Address and the DHCP setting.
1. Plug the power cord into the power connector
2. Plug the power cord into the AC outlet
3. After the AMR-100- boots, configure the IP Address and the DHCP setting
Rev. 1 – Firmware version 2.03 6 ©2012

Audio
The most commonly used audio connections will be the XLR
type low impedance analog audio. Plug the cables into the
port or target you want to use. A detailed description of the
ports can be found in the Audio Installation section. f you
connect one of the digital outputs, you will need the
appropriate connector. Please go to the Digital Audio
installation section.
Power
When you plug in the power cord, the unit
will begin its power up sequence and
initialization process. This takes about 20
seconds and the light on the front will light.
Remember, this is not a power switch. t is
only a power indicator.
Boot Process
After the AMR-100- receives power, it begins its startup process.
1. Reset the drive
2. nitialize the drive
Rev. 1 – Firmware version 2.03 7 ©2012
NOTE
There is no power switch, the front panel light is only an indicator of power.

3. Scanning the file system
4. nitialize the receiver
5. Finished booting
Because the Ethernet cable is not connected on the first boot, the “Lan” and “ net” boxes will
be clear and relay 6 indicator will be dark.
At this point, setup the IP Address and the DHCP setting. Once the Ethernet settings are
correct, plug in the Ethernet cable. The receiver should now be setup correctly and The
“Lan,” and “ net” boxes should be black and all the relay indicator boxes should be clear.
1. The “Lan” box means the receiver is communicating with your local network.
2. The “ net” box means the receiver is communicating with the uplink server through
the nternet.
3. With no audio playing the “St-1” and “St-2” should be clear.
4. All of the “ /O” boxes on the top line should be clear (no alarms).
Rev. 1 – Firmware version 2.03 8 ©2012
Relay 6 active
No LAN or Internet connection to the server
WARNING
To preserve the AMR- 00-I status logs, always use the reset switch to reset the
receiver. Never unplug the receiver to reboot it.

Ethernet Connection
After the receiver has finishing booting and you have
properly configured the IP Address and the DHCP setting,
plug in the Ethernet cable into the 10/100 Base T Network
connection on the back of the receiver. mproperly
configuring the IP Address could result in duplicate IP
Addresses on your network and cause a network failure.
The Ethernet connection allows The AMR-100- to receive programs from the uplink servers
and also allows copying files from the AMR-100- to another computer.
t is possible to use only the Ethernet connection for file copying and never play programs out
the audio ports. Before connecting the Ethernet cable make sure you have correctly set you P
address and DHCP settings. The details for these settings are found in the Ethernet section.
Error Conditions
f the Ethernet cable has been connected and there is a valid P address, but no connection to
the nternet, the “Lan” box will be dark and relay #6 (network error) will also be dark. To
properly set the P addresses and server ports for to connect to the nternet, see the
Installation section and the Ethernet section.
f the Ethernet cable is not connected or the P address is incorrect, relay 6 should be dark. To
set the P address correctly, see the Ethernet section.
Rev. 1 – Firmware version 2.03 9 ©2012
Relay 6 active
No Internet connection
to the server
Relay 6 active
No LAN or Internet connection
to the server
WARNING
Be sure you configure the network settings before plugging in the Ethernet cable.
Verify the IP address and the DHCP settings. Improperly setting the IP Address,
can cause duplicate IP Address on the network and cause a network failure.
A complete discussion of these settings can be found in the Ethernet section.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
File Reception
The AMR-100- receives programs as audio files via the nternet and stored on an internal
hard drive. The audio files must either be scheduled to played out the audio ports or copied to
your automation system. Please see the Amb-OS User nterface to schedule and copy
programs. Download the Amb-OS User nterface manual at www.amb-os.com/support.html.
After the file is successfully received, the station may play the file out the analog and digital
ports for a program to air or to record for later playback. The file also can be copied from the
receiver to an automation system through a local network at the station. The Amb-OS
nterface Utility does this for you. Download this program at www.amb-os.com/support.html.
The AMR-100- verifies the integrity of the received file and communicates back to the
uplink server to receive any missing packets or even reload a complete file. The IP Address
Change section describes how to set up the AMR-100- to a proper internal network address
and has the correct address to communicate with the uplink server. Files are automatically
deleted at some time after their air date, as specified by the program producer.
File Playback
Targets
General Description of Targets
The audio outputs are called “Targets” and there are only three types of targets. Each target
begins with the letter “T.”
1. The audio outputs are T1 and T2 (Target 1 and 2) and include the digital outputs (see the
digital output description). These can be addressed as separate mono left and right ports:
T1L, T1R, T2L and T2R. Without the “L” or “R” designations, the output is in stereo.
2. The receiver can create an Ethernet stream that can be decoded by another computer or
by an appliance dedicated to decoding streams. The Ethernet stream must have an P
address and a port. T224.0.0.1:5004 means the target is P address 224.0.0.1 and port
5004. Your network engineer must give you an P address that allows for a multicast
stream on your local network.
3. A file can be recorded to allow a receiver to take a live program and record for later
playback. The name of the file must have a “T” before the name
(Trecordedprogram.MP2). TFOCUS_DA LY.MP2, where “T” means the target and
“FOCUSDA LY.MP2” would be the file name on the receiver.
Rev. 1 – Firmware version 2.03 10 ©2012
NOTE
In order to receive files, you must send an email to [email protected] with a
list of the programs you want to receive. Include your station call letters and
receiver serial number.
WARNING
A stream or filename target must also have a an audio port as the primary target
to function.
