Just Add Power AMP Now Supports Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series Switches

Just Add Power has announced that its Advanced Matrix Programmer (AMP) software now supports select models from the Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series switches. These switches are built for small and medium businesses and branch offices, offering a simple and affordable networking solution. With this new support, integrators can now easily set up Just Add Power’s AV-over-IP devices — including Omega, Ultra, and MaxColor — using AMP to create HDMI matrix switching systems more efficiently.

AMP helps streamline the installation process by automatically discovering Just Add Power devices on the network, letting users assign names, set IPs, manage firmware, and control source switching all from one interface. This update continues Just Add Power’s mission to simplify AV-over-IP installations while delivering reliable, scalable performance for enterprise-grade environments.

Just Add Power, a leader in AV-over-IP distribution, today announced that select models in the new Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series lineup are now supported by the company’s configuration software, Advanced Matrix Programmer (AMP). The Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series Switches are affordable, simple-to-use switches designed and built for enterprise branch offices as well as SMB networks. Just Add Power’s AMP simplifies configuration of Omega, Ultra, or MaxColor devices — and supported switches — into an HDMI matrix switching system.

“Our goal at Just Add Power has always been to make installation and configuration of a system as simple as possible, allowing integrators to save time and money on their projects,” said Ed Qualls, CEO and founder of Just Add Power. “Our support for Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series switches in AMP is a further example of the dedication to provide easy installation, unmatched scalability, and outstanding performance to our customers.”

Just Add Power’s AMP consolidates and streamlines the process of setting up individual Just Add Power devices — discovering them on the local network, presenting them in a list, and allowing installers to name them, configure their IP addresses, and assign channels to transmitters — while assisting with updates when new firmware is released. Once the Just Add Power system is configured, AMP also provides a user interface that can be used to control source switching.

The Cisco Catalyst 1300 Series Switches are fixed, managed, enterprise-class Gigabit Ethernet Layer 3 switches designed for small and medium-sized business and branch offices. These simple, flexible, and secure switches are ideal for deployment out of the wiring closet.
