Two or more AMX1s can be connected together in an AMX1 Group.

An AMX1 Group utilises the site's existing Ethernet IT infrastructure to greatly increase the Connect systems versatility, enabling various scenarios:

• Distributing alarms from a "master" or "central" AMX1 to one or more remote AMX1s
• A scalable AMX solution for big sites, with several AMX1s collecting and distributing alarms
• A user running AMX1 on an occasional basis, connecting to the AMX group whenever they need to

When an AMX1 connects to the group it will synchronise its Current Event List, which will then display any current events in the other AMX1s. Its History is also synchronised.

The connection between AMX1s in the group is monitored and faults will be indicated should contact be lost with other members of the group. If the network is down then alarms are stored at the AMX1 with the external system connection and passed to the other AMX1s in the group after communications are restored.

The remote AMX1s can also send controls out to the external equipment, as well as receiving alarms.
