Operating Notes

• 

This product is powered using PoE (Power over Ethernet) and must be connected to a 

PoE-capable network switch.  If the network switch is not PoE-capable, a PoE injector 

(purchased separately) must be used.

• 

Atlona recommends using the Velocity with Integrated AMS which provides discovery, 

management, and configuration assistance.  Velocity with Integrated AMS is a free 

application that can be downloaded from the Atlona web site at http://atlona.com/product/

at-ams-sw/.

• 

OmniStream uses mDNS as the discovery mechanism.  In order for mDNS to function 

properly, there must not be restrictions applied to the network.  VPN can be used to 

connect to a computer that is running AMS, on the same network.  However, VPN cannot 

be used when AMS is running on the local machine.
