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, saving integration time while serving 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.

Free Software Download

AMS is offered as a free software application for installation on a Windows® PC or Mac®. Please see below for system requirements and contact Atlona Technical Support regarding this AMS Virtual Machine option.

For your convenience, AMS is also available as the AT-AMS-HW dedicated server appliance that is compact, simple to configure, and easily installs into an equipment rack.

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.

The Atlona Management System GUI features user-friendly interaction and navigation elements similar to 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.
