Launching the CMA on Axon

Axon media servers can launch the CMA locally. When you start Axon, the local monitor will
display a desktop that gives you access to the CMA.

NOTE:

An active display device must be attached to both DVI ports before

booting up the system. When only one port is connected, it defaults to

display the graphics engine output and will not display the CMA

screen.

Press the Launch CMA button on the local desktop. The
application automatically finds and identifies the Local Drives
including any connected USB drives, the CD/DVD drive as well as
other Axon and DL.2 media servers connected to the same Ethernet
network.

NOTE: The Axon Server supports an onboard DVD drive you

can use for copying content into an Axon Server as

well as burning User content onto DVD/CD.

Auto Discovery

When a DL.2 fixture or Axon media server is connected to a network, it sends out “Discovery”
messages. These messages are received by other servers on the link as well as the CMA
