NOTE: The AT-AMS-HW2 is no longer available for purchase. The recommended alternative product is the AT-VGW-HW-3 Velocity System gateway for AV asset management, plus AV control and room scheduling.
The Atlona Management System (AMS) is a powerful resource for AV integrators, facility AV/IT system administrators, and tech managers to configure, monitor, and service multiple Atlona products from a web browser. AMS enables centralized organization and management of Atlona devices and system installations throughout a facility or residence. Additionally, AMS greatly reduces integration time and serves as a convenient portal for helpdesk support. Comprehensive features include automatic network device discovery, multi-device configuration and management, firmware update automation and management, notifications and alerts, event logging, and more.
The AT-AMS-HW2 is a compact server appliance for AMS that easily installs into a rack or any other discreet location. Setup is fast and easy – no software installation or configuration procedure necessary.
AMS is also available as a free software application (AT-AMS-SW).
More information about AMS is available through this introduction and overview.
Simple Support & Maintenance
AMS was designed to dramatically reduce system deployment time – especially for larger applications. System support and maintenance are simplified by allowing dealers and IT managers to oversee every Atlona device being deployed, and configure them individually or as a group, all from a central location.
The Atlona Management System GUI leverages the user-friendly interaction and navigation elements from the Velocity Control System. For OmniStream AV over IP systems, AMS also features an intuitive user interface for video, audio, control, and data virtual routing that’s powerful, flexible, and very easy to use.
The AMS-HW2 device is built with key features to both take advantage of now, and prepare for future enhancements:
- Dual network ports allow you to keep AV and control routing on a private network, while providing for forthcoming cloud-based functionality.
- Support for more devices advances the comprehensive management of the AMS system, by integrating with more Atlona products than ever before.
- Upgraded, robust hardware designed to handle installations with a large number of devices while ensuring fast system performance.
Scalable Remote Management
AMS is ideal for use in multi-device AV installations, and is scalable to any size installation. Remote management capabilities of AMS enable AV technicians and other staff members to manage, operate, and maintain AV systems anywhere on the network through a standard web browser. AMS auto-detects installed Atlona devices and allows the user to back up and retrieve device configurations, copy the configuration of one Atlona device to identical devices, and perform firmware upgrades – all remotely without having to connect physically into a system. AMS also allows a technician to configure Atlona devices offline, and push configurations once the devices are online.
