WARNING
One AMR-100I 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-100I.
NOTE
As of this version of software, only one AMR-100I can be controlled by
the Amb-O User Interface software on a single PC. With multiple AMR-
100Is each AMR-100I needs a separate computer controlling each
individual receiver.

Rev. 4 – Firmware Version 2.36 8 ©2015
WARNING
Resetting the AMR-100I stops the audio playback until the AMR-
100I has finished booting.

QUICK START
To begin receiving files, connect 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.
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-100I 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-100I 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.
The Ethernet connection allows checking the system statistics, setting up a playlist, manually playing
programs, receiving programs and aiding troubleshooting for Amb-OS technicians.
Rev. 4 – Firmware Version 2.36 9 ©2015
NOTE
The Ethernet cable can be attached after booting the AMR-100I 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-100I from connecting to the network.
WARNING
The AMR-100I must have an
Ethernet connection to receive
programs.

Power
After connecting the Audio and Ethernet cables, connect
the AC power cord. Immediately after connecting the
power cord, the AMR-100I’s front panel light turns on
and it begins its boot process.
Boot Display
Normal
Assuming the Ethernet cable was
connected 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.

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

GENERAL FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
File Reception
The AMR-100I receiver receives programs as audio files sent via the Internet faster than real time
and stored on an internal hard drive. The Ethernet connection allows the AMR-100I to receive
programs reception. The AMR-100I communicates back to the load server to verify a program and
retrieve missing packets or finish downloading.
Playback
Programs can be scheduled to play for recording or direct to air through a playlist after successfully
receiving a program. Playing a program with a playlist sends the program out the analog and digital
ports as a “live” program to record or air. Please see the Amb-OS User Interface or the Stand Alone
Playlist Editor to create a playlist. Download both programs and the manuals at http://www.amb-
os.com/support.html.
Transfer
Programs can be transferred from the AMR-100I directly to an automation system or to any computer
on the network. Transfers can be done immediately after a program arrives or they can be scheduled.
Please see the Amb-OS User Interface to transfer programs. Download the Amb-OS User Interface
manual at http://www.amb-os.com/support.html.
Program Deletion
The AMR-100I automatically deletes programs at a time set by the program provider. The program
producer specifies the deletion date in the Cart Chunk data of the program.
Rev. 4 – Firmware Version 2.36 11 ©2015
NOTE
In order to receive files, use Amb-O permission portal to request
program permissions (http://www.amb-os.com/permissions).
NOTE
An Internet connection to the AMR-100I is necessary for the receiver to
receive and transfer programs.
WARNING
The AMR-100I must have an Internet connection to receive programs.

Live Streams
Live programs
Live programs come through the AMR-100I just like the Wegener Unity® 4000. The AMR-100I
receives programs sent from the satellite and plays them out an audio port (target) on the back of the
AMR-100I. Because of the ability to address specific receivers for programs, the AMR-100I has to
have permission to receive a live program. The live programs for which the ARM-100I has been
given permissions are listed in Amb-OS User Interface software.
Live programs are sent to the TMAP target, which is assigned locally (see the Target Maps section
for the description). The TMAP target can be changed using the Front Panel or through the HTML
Command Interface.
nternal Clock
The internal clock is set by the GPS time standard and can automatically adjust for Daylight Saving
Time. The local time zone can be set in the Date Menu. or in the HTML Command Interface.
Because the clock is accurate, a relay (#5 or #6) can be used to keep the local clocks in sync. The
time sync (see Clock Interval section) can be set for any minute and second. The default relay is #5.
Alarm
When an internal system fails the AMR-100I closes relay #6 and the failing subsystem box clears.
This can be disabled or the relay changed. An alarm (aural or visual) can be attached to the relay to
indicate a fault.
Emergency or “one off” program arming
To be able to receive an emergency or a special “one off”
program (indicated by an “*” in the upper left corner).
TMAP must also be assigned to a physical Target and not used
as a target in a playlist.
Enabl d (“*” on screen): Hold th [BACK] button until th
“*” app ars in th upp r l ft corn r. The TMAP Arming
command in the HTML Interface can enable or disable this
feature.
This indicates whether the AMR-100I has been enabled to receive the Emergency or “on off”
program broadcast on TMAP . To receive these broadcasts, TMAP must have an assigned
audio port and the “*” must be visible on the screen. The status of TMAP can be seen with the
other TMAP assignments when looking at the System Statistics from the HTML Interface.
Disabl d (“*” not on screen): Pr ss and hold th [BACK] button until th “*” disapp ars in th
upp r l ft corn r. The TMAP Arming command in the HTML Interface can disable or enable
this feature.
If the Emergency Message is not enabled, the AMR-100I will not receive special or
emergency broadcasts regardless of whether TMAP has been mapped to an output.
Rev. 4 – Firmware Version 2.36 12 ©2015
“One off” Indicator

INSTALLATION
Audio
Audio comes out either Port 1 or Port 2. Both ports have two analog outputs (left and right) and three
types of digital ports (AES/EBU, SPDIF – BNC and Optical). The left and right channel of the
analog ports can be addressed separately and have different audio programming on each of them.
The digital ports always have the same audio as the analog ports and cannot be addressed
independently.
The AMR-100I uses targets to address each analog output.
Analog
The analog audio connectors use standard XLR connectors. Each of the two ports can be played in
stereo (2 stereo ports), all mono (4 mono ports) or mixed (1 port stereo and the other 2 mono
channels).
Left Right Left Right
Port 1 Port 2
XLR Pinout:
Pin 1: Ground
Pin 2: Low
Pin 3: High
Digital
The digital connectors correspond to the analog ports 1 and 2. Each digital output has three different
types of connectors (AES/EBU, BNC-SPDIF, and Optical). The digital ports have the same audio as
the corresponding analog port. The digital outputs use a 48K data rate.
SPDI SPDI
AES/EBU BNC Optical AES/EBU BNC Optical
Port 1 Port 2
When playing audio as mono out the left or right side only, the digit ports also output the audio on
the appropriate side.
Rev. 4 – Firmware Version 2.36 13 ©2015

Ethernet
Description
The Ethernet connection takes a standard Cat-5 or better network cable with RJ-45 connectors.
Programs can be transferred automatically to an automation computer. If a program looses some
packets during reception of a program, the AMR-100I communicates to the load server to retrieve
the missing packets and restore the program. This virtually guarantees no missing programs. An
Internet connection is required for the AMR-100I.
To schedule program playback, playlists need to be created and the Ethernet connection allows the
playlist to be uploaded to the receiver. Use the Amb-OS User Interface or the Stand Alone Playlist
Editor from the Amb-OS support page (http://www.amb-os.com/support.html).
etting the IP address
The AMR-100I comes with the DHCP setting to “Yes” so the AMR-100I has a dynamic IP address
set from the network gateway. The system can operate with a dynamic IP address, but if the gateway
changes the IP address of the AMR-100I, the Amb-OS User Interface needs to have its settings
changed to continue transferring programs. To avoid this problem, use a static IP address. Change
the DHCP setting to “No” and modify the IP address, gateway and netmask. The local network
configuration may also require a static IP address.
Setting a static IP address can be done by the front panel or through the HTML Command Interface.
With the correct IP address, default gateway and subnet mask entered, the Amb-OS User Interface
can create playlists and transfer and play programs.
Rev. 4 – Firmware Version 2.36 14 ©2015
WARNING
When entering an IP address manually, the subnet mask and the
default gateway may also have to be set to maintain network
functionality.
WARNING
The IP address of the receiver should be set to something compatible
with the local network. Make sure the IP address is set outside of the
DHCP pool and no other devices use that IP address.
WARNING
The AMR-100I requires an Internet connection to receive programs.

OPERATIONS
Relay Description
General Information
The output relays can be customized to specific needs, but misusing this feature causes unexpected
results. The wiring for the relay closures can be found in Relay Specifications and the assignment of
relays can be found in Closure Map section.
Output relays can be sent by program providers and be used when playing programs to interface with
an automation system. The AMR-100I has six output relays. Four are used for programming
functions and two are assigned to reserved functions. Use relays #1 through #4 for general
programming use. Relays #5 (clock sync pulse) and #6 (fault indication). Relay #5 and #6 can be
used for programming, by disabling their default function.
Reserved Relays #5 and #6
Time Sync by Relay #5
To keep station clocks synchronized, a time pulse can be used from the AMR-100I. Every hour relay
#5 closes for one second as a time sync pulse. This can be at any minute and second of the hour
(HH:00:00 or HH:54:45). Set sync pulse through the font panel menu (Clock Interval).
Fault Indications by Relay #6
By default, two fault conditions are monitored that can activate relay #6:
1. Ethernet connection to the local network is lost
2. Internet connection to the uplink server is lost
When either of these conditions happen, relay #6 triggers and the status box of the failing
subsystem(s) clears. See the Error Conditions in the Appendix.
Rev. 4 – Firmware Version 2.36 18 ©2015
NOTE
Both the Time ync and the Alarm relays can be disabled or
reassigned.

Program use o Relays #5 and #6
Relay #5 and #6 can be used for programming functions if they have been disabled for time syncing
or alarms or be reassigned to either time syncing or alarms.
Exampl s
Availabl Program R lays Stat of R lay #5 Stat of R lay #6
1-4 Enabled for time syncing Enabled for alarms
1-4 Enabled for alarms Enabled for time syncing
1-5 Disabled for time and alarms Enabled for alarms
1-5 Disabled for time and alarms Enabled for time syncing
1-4, 6 Enabled for time syncing Disabled for time and alarms
1-4, 6 Enabled for alarms Disabled for time and alarms
1-6 Disabled for time and alarms Disabled for time and alarms
Do not use Relays #5 or #6 to send closures to automation systems if either relay is still assigned to
time syncing or alarms. With a program function assigned to either relay #5 or #6 and either one still
has the time syncing or alarms function assigned, when a program provider sends a command to
close one of them it would set the time or trigger the alarm. Use the Relay Map settings to change
the function from relays #5 and/or #6.
Closure Map
Closure Descriptions
To have a consistent naming conventions for program producers, sixteen different functions can be
assigned to a relay. When sending closure commands for live programs, the originator uses the
closure definition to determine when to start and end a program and when to start and end a break.
Different functions can be assigned to the same relay. For example, the program start and end could
be assigned to relay #1. Then the first time the relay activates the relay responds and the automation
system knows the program started. The next time the relay activates, the automation system knows
the program stopped.
If the Closure Map has no relay assigned it (None), the command is ignored.
The Closure Table lists the functions and short hand names used by program providers.

WARNING
Relays #5 or #6 must not be used for programming functions without
disabling the clock syncing or the alarm functions to prevent the
AMR-100I from producing unpredictable results. The Relay Map does
not change automatically when using the default alarm or clock
syncing relays.
NOTE
The closure map cannot use Relay #6.

Closure De ault States
The state of the relay determines what happens when a command is sent. When a program sends a
command to the relay, here is what happens with each state.
Command R sult
Off (opens relay) If it was on (closed), it turns off (opens). If it was off (open), the relay stays off
(closed).
On (closes relay) If the relay was off (open), the relay turns on (closes) and stays on (closed) until
it receives the off (open) command. If it was already on (closed), then it stays
on (closed).
Pulse (closes, then
opens relay)
The relay turns on (closes) for one second and then turns off (opens). If the
relay was on (closed), it turns off (opens) one second after receiving the
command.
The Closure Table lists the default settings for each relay.
Closure Table
The following table describes the default mapped relays used by program providers.
Relay names and Default assignments:
D scriptions Nam R lay # D fault Stat – Off, Puls , On
Program Start, Port 1 Left: P1LS None Off
Program End, Port 1 Left: P1LE 1 Pulse
Break Start, Port 1 Left: B1LS None OFF
Break End, Port 1 Left: B1LE 2 Pulse
Program Start, Port 2 Left: P2LS None Off
Program End, Port 2 Left: P2LE 3 Pulse
Break Start, Port 2 Left: B2LS None Off
Break End, Port 2 Left: B2LE 4 Pulse
Program Start, Port 1 Right: P1RS None Off
Program End, Port 1 Right: P1RE None Off
Break Start, Port 1 Right: B1RS None Off
Break End, Port 1 Right: B1RE None Off
Program Start, Port 2 Right: P2RS None Off
Program End, Port 2 Right: P2RE None Off
Break Start, Port 2 Right: B2RS None Off
Break End, Port 2 Right: B2RE None Off
When assigning functions to specific relay closures, remember that the “Left” assignment should be
used for stereo programs. Thus, playing a program out (live or prerecorded) port 1 in stereo or out
port 1 in mono on the left channel, use the “Left” assignment. When playing a mono program out the
right channel of a port, use the “Right” assignments.
The intent of the relay mapping is to allow assigning a relay to a specific port. For example, to have
a relay #2 close at the end of programming material when getting live programs on port 1, then map
P1LE to relay #2.
Setting the relay mapping is done in the front panel menu under the Closure Map section.
