Atlona Management System (AMS)
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.
More information about AMS is available through this introduction and overview.
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 click here to download the Velocity-AMS virtual machine software.
For your convenience, AMS is also available on a server appliance with the AT-VGW-HW-3, a Velocity server gateway for AV control and management plus room scheduling.

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.
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.
