Basic Operation
Pairing
Pairing an OmniStream 324 to an OmniStream 311 (not incuded) is managed using the Atlona Management System
(AMS). AMS is free and can be downloaded from https://atlona.com/AMS. The pairing process can also be performed using the Server Appliance for Atalona Management System (AT-AMS-HW).
Using AMS
1. Launch a web browser and enter the IP address of AMS, in the address bar.
2. Enter the required login credentials.
3. Click the
Login
button.
4. The AMS Dashboard will be displayed.
5. Click the icon, in the upper-left corner of the AMS Dashboard.
6. Click
Devices
>
Unassigned
from the fly-out menu.
All available OmniStream 324 devices will be displayed under the
Unassigned
category. When a device is unassigned, it means that the device has not yet been assigned to a site, building, and/or room. Refer to the
AMS User Manual for more information on these topics.

OmniStream 324 units can be paired to an OmniStream 311.
10. Click the
SAVE
button at the bottom of the page.
11. The pairing process is complete. Repeat steps 7 through 10 for each OmniStream 324 on the network.

Manual Pairing
The OmniStream 311 and OmniStream 324 can also be paired manually. This applies when the OmniStream 311 and OmniStream 324 are connected, either through a network switch (on the same broadcast domain) or directly to one another using category cable. This instructions below cover manual pairing for both the OmniStream 311 and
OmniStream 324.
1. Make sure both the OmniStream 311 and OmniStream 324 are connected, either directly or through a network switch, and that all USB connections have been made.

Pairing and Unpairing Units
IMPORTANT:
Before pairing units, make sure to unpair (remove) any existing pairings using the
“unpair” macro that was created on page 19.
1. Click the
►
icon for the “Unpair” macro. This will remove any possible “out-of-the-box” (factory) pairing that may exist.
2. Click the
► icon for the “Pair” macro to pair the two units.
Example: Pairing two AT-OMNI-324 to a single AT-OMNI-311
The following illustration depicts an example of how to pair two AT-OMNI-324 units to a single AT-OMNI-311.

text field.
3. Click the

In this example, the AT-OMNI-324 is arbitrarily selected.
5. Click the

9. Click the

10. Create a “pairing” macro by clicking the icon, in the upper-right corner of the screen.
Note that since there are two AT-OMNI-324 units, creating the “Pair” macro can be achieved using two different methods: a. Create two separate macros: one to pair the AT-OMNI-311 and the AT-OMNI-324 with the camera, and another one to pair the AT-OMNI-311 with the AT-OMNI-324 with the speakerphone. This method provides more control, providing the option of which AT-OMNI-324 is paired with the AT-OMNI-311.
b. Create a single macro which pairs both AT-OMNI-324 units to the AT-OMNI-311. This method is more convenient, but does not provide the option of which AT-OMNI-324 is paired with the AT-OMNI-311.
For this example, two separate pairing macros will be created:
9. Enter “Pair to camera” in both the
Name
and
Macro Commands
text field. This macro will be used to pair the computer with the camera.
10. Click the
+
icon to display the macro configuration dialog.
11. Click the
Device
drop-down list and select the AT-OMNI-324 that is connected to the camera. In this example, the AT-OMNI-324 with the IP address of 192.168.11.124 will be selected.
12. Click the
Command
drop-down list and select
Pair (Auto)
.
13. Click the second
Device
drop-down list and select the AT-OMNI-311.
14. Repeat steps 10 through 13: select the AT-OMNI-311 in the first
Device
drop-down list, and then the AT-
OMNI-324 with the camera, from the second
Device
drop-down list. The “Pair to camera” macro should now appear as follows:
