AMP - Advanced Matrix Programmer - configures 3G and MaxColor devices into an HDMI matrix switching system.
AMP is the spiritual successor to JADConfig. If you were previously using JADConfig to configure systems, you can continue to use it for maintaining those systems. However, we recommend that new systems should be configured with AMP.
There are two types of systems that can be configured by AMP:
VLAN switching
Multicast switching
Generally, VLAN switching is preferred because AMP configures both the switch and all Just Add Power devices. In Multicast switching, AMP configures the Just Add Power devices but NOT the switch.
See Choosing A System to determine which type of system is best for the job site.
This allows current Luxul stack systems to convert to trunk systems with AMP compatibility
Changing from a JADConfig system to an AMP system requires changing the switching driver, endpoint control drivers, and the port connections of Receivers, Transmitters, and data ports. It should only be done when necessary to maintain functionality of the system.
NEW FUNCTION: Add Additional Devices - configures individual devices to be added to a system in which there are already open ports configured. Allows both on-site and off-site options
NEW FUNCTION: Read System - Connect to a Just Add Power device in a configured system and generate a Report File with all system details
NEW FUNCTION: Firmware Update Only - updates firmware on all devices in a configured system
Set the program to use the Beta branch by going to Manage Updates --> Change Branch --> Beta to access VLAN switching
VLAN Supported Switches
In a VLAN system you MUST use a supported switch, as AMP will configure the switch. AMP VLAN supports up to 63 switches in a system.
In a Multicast system you may use any switch that fits minimum requirements. You are responsible for configuring the switch; Just Add Power provides example profiles, but AMP does NOT configure the switch.

Beta - version 0.5.3
Improves patching diagram
Uplink port highlighted
Sets `channel 0` on devices in a VLAN system automatically
Windows authorization added
Program runs with administrative privileges automatically
Known Issues
When updating a device from A firmware to B firmware, there is sometimes a "Duplicate IP" error that pops up. This is typically due to devices changing MAC address after a firmware update. Ignore and close these messages.
Devices that were configured in a Multicast system retain their Multicast settings if moved to a VLAN system
Solution: Use the Beta version
ST1 devices were not being discovered and configured properly
