Connecting Devices To The AZM / AZMP For Conguration
Out of the box, the AZM / AZMP is configured to connect to an existing network via the back panel Ethernet port. However, there are two additional
methods for connecting to the AZM / AZMP for configuration. If no existing network is available, it is recommended that the onboard Wi-Fi be used in
access point mode for initial configuration.
1 – Ethernet Connection (Wired connection)
• Connect an RJ45 cable (CAT5e or CAT6) from the AZM / AZMP network port to an existing network
• Using a web browser enabled device on the network, navigate to the IP address that appears on the AZM / AZMP front panel screen using the
address bar located in the web browser
2 – Wi-Fi Connection (Connect to existing wireless network)
• From the front panel menu enable Wi-Fi mode (Network>WiFi>Change Mode>WiFi then confirm the change)
• Select the Wi-Fi network you would like to connect to (Network>WiFi>WiFi Networks)
• Enter the password and then select the green check-mark to connect to the network
Note: The Wi-Fi connection can be set up in the user interface if the AZM / AZMP is connected via the Ethernet port
3 – Access Point Connection (On board Wi-Fi creates a local wireless network for connection)
• From the front panel menu enable Access Point mode (Network>WiFi>Change Mode>Access Pt then confirm the change)
• The unit will now broadcast an SSID (AtlasIED_AZM/AZMP will be the default SSID) that can be found using Wi-Fi enabled devices
• Select the now available network from the settings page on your device and connect (The default password is AtlasIED. This can be changed in the
user interface)
• Using a web browser on the device, navigate to the IP address that appears on the AZM / AZMP front panel screen using the address bar located in
the web browser

Connecting Accessories
All accessories are plug and play and are recognized by the AZM / AZMP when plugged in. Below are rules that need to be followed in order to guarantee
adequate and reliable performance of all connected accessories.
• Up to 8 accessories can be daisy chained from a single port
• Up to 16 accessories can be connected to a single AZM / AZMP (a maximum of 8 X-ANS accessories can be used per AZM / AZMP)
• Each Accessory port can accept up to 1 remote audio wall plate (2 per AZM4 / AZMP4, 4 per AZM8 / AZMP8)
• The maximum cable length from the AZM / AZMP to the last accessory on the chain is 1000' (305m)
• There are no cable length restrictions between accessories
• The “IN” port is connected to the upstream device (AZM / AZMP or other accessory)
• The X-ZPS paging station consumes 3 accessory slots per port, therefore the maximum number of devices on a single port including the X-ZPS
is 6 total
• CAT5e or CAT6 cable should be used to connect accessories to the host processor
• No limits exceeded
• Too many audio inputs, max 1 per port
• Too many devices on port, max 8 (without X-ZPS) or max 6 (with X-ZPS)
• One audio wall plate (A-XLR, A-RCA, A-BT) or X-ZPS
can be used per accessory port
