Introduction
This user’s guide is targeted to provide information on installing, configuring
and maintaining the AMG 9IM2x/9HM2x Multi-service Ethernet switches.
AMG 9IM2x/9HM2x Multi-Service Ethernet Switch has all capabilities to
support ruggedized Layer2 Managed Ethernet functionality. In addition to
Layer2 & some Layer3 functionality, these products also support integration
of low-speed I/O, allowing Serial Ports, Alarm Contacts, Audio Devices and
Analogue Video to be directly connected to the switch, without requirement
for any additional hardware.
Historically, this requirement has been dealt with through the use of thirdparty serial port, audio, and Contact-closure I/O servers, resulting in a
disparate, multi-vendor product mix and corresponding issues with product
integration. AMG 9IM2x/9HM2x Multi-Service Ethernet switches eliminate all
these issues with a one-box solution. These switches offer a common web
management interface for configuration of all aspects of the device - Ethernet
as well as serial ports, audio ports and Alarm I/O.
The AMG 9IM2x/9HM2x management features are designed to minimize
administrative management effort, while enhancing and improving network
traffic control.
AMG 9IM2x/9HM2x supports easy management and configuration through
SNMP, CLI or WEB GUI.

This section describes AMG 9IM2x/9HM2x hardware. It describes how the
different ports, LEDs and connectors are to be used.
AMG 9IM2x/9HM2x has ports for connectivity to different devices. These
ports can be categorized into 3 categories
Console port – RJ45 serial RS-232 data for access to CLI (Command Line)
interface.
Ethernet ports – used for Ethernet connectivity. These ports can be copper
ports or Transceiver ports. Copper ports can operate at speeds of
10/100/1000 Mbps. Transceiver ports can accommodate optical connectivity
through Fibre transceivers as well as copper connectivity through copper
transceivers.
I/O Ports – This product series has support for built-in I/O ports in order to
accommodate serial data ports, alarm contacts, audio devices and video
encoder ports without requirement for any additional hardware.
AMG 9IM2x/9HM2x has LEDs on the front panel to indicate status and
activities of different ports in the system.

Contact Closure ports C1-C16
The AMG 9IM2x/9HM2x provides 16 contact closure inputs / outputs. Each contact closure may be
configured as either an intput (IN) or an output (OUT).
Each CC IN is a digital ON/OFF input typically used to detect contact closure status. The detection circuit
is via an internal 8.2kΩ series resistor with a 47kΩ pull-up resistor to the internal +3V3 supply.
LOW level : input voltage < 0.5V or a low impedance (0Ω to 1kΩ) short circuit to GND
HIGH level : input voltage > +3V3 to +24Vdc or an open circuit.
Each CC OUT is a digital ON/OFF output (current sink) typically used to convey contact closure status.
Each output circuit is an open drain power MOSFETwithseries 4.7Ω resistor and has a maximum rated
continuous load current of 250mA, and maximum input voltage of +24Vdc.
Table 2-6 : Contact Closure I/O Connections
2.5 Power Connector
Power Connectors used in AMG 9IM2x/9HM2x depends on the device
variant and Power over Ethernet (POE) support on the device.
+48V DC to +56V DC – For POE variant.
+12V DC to +24V DC – For non-POE variant.
Please note : Total system load should not exceed 240W.

as ceilings, where it is hard to find power outlets. Only smaller devices can
be powered using the PoE, as it carries limited power over the Ethernet.
1. The original IEEE 802.3af-2003 PoE standard provides up to 15.4 W of
DC power (minimum 44 V DC and 350 mA) to each device. Only 12.95 W is
assured to be available at the powered device as some power is dissipated
in the cable.
2. The updated IEEE 802.3at-2009 PoE standard also known as PoE+ or
PoE plus, provides up to 25.5 W of power per port/device.
3. PoE-U / PoH non-ratified standards provide up to 60W / 90W of power per
port/device.
Here are POE specifications of AMG 9IM2x/9HM2x per port :

Please note : Total system load should not exceed 240W.
2.7 Ethernet Port LEDs
Each non-transceiver Ethernet port has two LEDs - Link/Activity and PoE
power output status. These are are situated on the left side of each RJ45
port-connector as depicted below:

HS-IO Hardware Description
This section describes HS-IO hardware. It describes how different ports,
LEDs and connectors are to be used.
In order to provide very low latency (< 5 milliseconds) end to end
transmission of serial data over IP, the AMG M-SES can be equipped with a
“high-speed” / low latency serial data expander module which provides 2 or 4
bi-directional serial data ports which are individually configurable for RS-232
/ RS-485 or RS-422 serial data:
AMG9HMX-2S : 2 serial data ports.
AMG9HMX-4S : 4 serial data ports.
Future options will also provide contact closure variants as follows:
AMG9HMX-2S8C : 2 serial data ports, 8 Contact Closures.
AMG9HMX-4S4C : 4 serial data ports, 4 Contact Closures.

Each low speed data channel provides an RS-232, RS-422 (full duplex, four
wire) or RS-485 (half duplex, two wire) interface defined by the slide switch
mounted from the rear panel Every data channel as shipped from the factory
is set up for RS-485 operation unless otherwise requested.
The OUT+- data drivers for RS-485 and RS-422 modes will be in the OFF
(tristate condition) unless OUT data is being transmitted.

Note : (A) or (B) in brackets in the above table refers to RS-485 / RS-422
data specification.
HS-IO Data Channel Termination
The interface mode RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 of each data port Data 1-4,
is selected with the corresponding external slide switch D1-D4. The actual
number of data channels provided on the unit depends upon the AMG
model.
Internal 120Ω termination resistors across IN+ and IN- inputs may also be
applied when in RS-422 or RS-485 mode using internal DIP switches P0-P3
on the main PCB inside the enclosure. P0-P3 may be accessed by removing
the 2 fixing screws in the rear panel and sliding the PCB out of the enclosure.
For clarity, in the 3 examples shown below all 4 data ports D1-D4 are
terminated the same, but each data channel may be configured & terminated
independently as required. The 3 examples shown are RS-232 (no
termination), RS-422 (120Ω) or RS-485 (120Ω).

4.2 Installing Pre-requisites
AMG 9IM2x/9HM2x series devices can be mounted in a standard equipment
rack or enclosure, using industry standard DIN rail. Before installing the unit,
verify that the chosen location for installation meets the following site
requirements:
Power: the unit is installed near an easily accessible 100-240 VAC, 50-60
Hz outlet.
Clearance: there is adequate frontal clearance for operator access. Allow
clearance for cabling, power connections, and ventilation.
Cabling: the cabling is routed to avoid sources of electrical noise such as
radio transmitters, broadcast amplifiers, power lines, and fluorescent lighting
fixtures.
Ambient Requirements: the ambient unit operating temperature range is 20 to 74ºC at a relative humidity of 0% to 95%, non-condensing.

4.5 Connecting to Network
Configuration, Management and maintenance of AMG 9IM2x/9HM2x switch
is done through web management interface. In order to operate switch, it
should be have IP for connectivity. Switch can get can IP either through
DHCP or through static IP address assignment.
If the switch is assigned a non-default static IP address, it is labelled on the
side panel of the switch. Otherwise, switch operates at a static IP address –
192.168.1.101

4.6 Connecting to RS-232 Management Console
If access to AMG 9IM2x/9HM2x switch via CLI (Command Line) interface is
required, connect the Console cable / adaptor RJ45 into the console port
and connect the DB9 serial RS-232 data port to a PC or similar.

SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a widely deployed
protocol that is commonly used to monitor and manage network devices.
SNMP works by sending messages, called protocol data units (PDUs), to
different parts of a network. SNMP-compliant devices, called Agents, store
data about themselves in Management Information Bases (MIBs) and return
this data to the SNMP requesters.
To access SNMP screens, click System > SNMPSNMP link also allows the user to configure SNMP Agent parameters
through the following sub-links.
SNMP Agent Control Settings
SNMP Global Configuration
SNMP Agent
