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.

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

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

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.

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