You have the ins and outs connected? Which DigiMax version do you have?
I thought it's just a preamp with digital output (on ADAT connector). So that would mean you only have one ADAT cable connected. In this case you could do without connecting the wordclock cable, but then you'd need to tell Pro Tools to sync from the ADAT input in the session setup window (command-2).
BUT, that isn't what I would do. It's more practical to let Pro Tools be the master, so I would, connect the wordclock from the 96io to the preamp and select external clock (always make sure your preamp is set to the same sample rate as your Pro Tools session!).
If you have more digital devices you'd need an external clock, if the devices in question cannot sync from their digital input.
