Step 1 for connecting to AMS-IX
- You must be a recognised legal entity.
- You must have an ASN (Autonomous System Number).
The Applicant must have their own ASN assigned by a Regional Internet Registry, being either; RIPE-NCC, APNIC, LACNIC, ARIN or by a Local Internet Registry.
- The primary function of your business must be internet related.
- You must have the intention to and be willing to sign the AMS-IX Connection Agreement: (Version A2000 in Word)
or (Version A2000 in .pdf).
The AMS-IX Connection Agreement was modified in 2000 and is standard for all AMS-IX members.
- You must have an agreement with your chosen co-location.
Please take a look at the co-locations to see which co-location best suits your needs and make contact with your chosen location(s) via the contact details provided.
You must close a contract with the co-location of your choice before we will enable your port at their facility. This rule always applies, even if your equipment is physically located at another location and a third party is providing you with connection services to the housing locations. This third party or your carrier may have a collective agreement with the Housing Location, covering this condition. This is your responsibility.
