The AMX Managed Ethernet Switch Is

The Tough Traffic Cop For IP & IT Networks


AMX products are Ethernet-centric, however we went a step further and developed a single solution to easily integrate all devices on the network. Introducing the enterprise-grade Managed Ethernet Switches: NXA-ENET24 and NXA-ENET24PoE. These switches provide a valuable solution and cost-effective source for the seamless configuration and management of AMX and other devices. Network integration has never been easier.

Audio/Video: A MAX-imum Priority
As network traffic increases, it is essential that IP network switches provide priority to time-sensitive applications such as audio/video streams, over less time-sensitive applications such as e-mail and web surfing. AMX has designed these switches to automatically detect and protect A/V streams coming from MAX servers, with no special configuration required.



Enterprise-Grade Quality

Both switches support massive amounts of shared data on local and worldwide networks, preventing jitters, skipped frames and audio distortions caused by congested IP networks.


Directing Network Traffic
Increased network traffic, whether experienced by small businesses or global conglomerates, makes it essential for IT departments to implement AMX's Ethernet Switches to direct network traffic.

These switches have the ability to differentiate low priority applications such as email and Internet searches from urgent, time-sensitive applications such as audio or video streams.

NXA-ENET24



• 24 Auto-MDI/MDIX 10/100 BaseT ports
• 2 Combo Gigabit Ports
• 2 Built-in Stacking Ports (to stack up to eight units)

 

NXA-ENET24PoE


• 24 Auto-MDI/MDIX 10/100BaseT ports
• 2 Combo Gigabit Ports
• PoE provides up to 15.4 watts/port for a total
of 370 watts of power, for deploying wireless access points and other AMX PoE devices like the Mio Modero DMS Keypads, and MAX Encoder/Decoder
• Automatic Device Detection identifies and automatically supplies
power requirements for the PoE devices
• Identifies non-PoE capable devices and denies power
