he A.I.M. management server (AIM-24) is a control suite which transforms ADDERLink INFINITY extenders into a digital matrix solution. Using standard IP infrastructure it is possible to route any user station to any computer attached to the network without any compromises to video quality or control. It allows co-operative sharing of computers and the multicasting of video to any destination.

Easy centralized management of Unlimited end-points
Accessed via a web browser, the INFINITY dashboard gives a real time overview of system connections and users. Tabs enable you to navigate between settings and device or user sub-menus.

Secure access and communications
Using TLS (transport layer security) and HTTPS ensures communications between Adder INFINITY units and A.I.M. and between A.I.M. and the outside world are all secure. Built-in security measures are compliant with universal enterprise grade security standards including SNMPv3, AES/DES encryption, and MD5/SHA authentication

User access management and audit trails
Each user can be granted different access permissions on a per computer basis. Administrators can also select which levels of control will be available, allowing users to choose between View only, Shared, Exclusive or Private connection modes. Reports showing the history of devices, user logins and device connections can be viewed and exported to a CSV file or via SYSLOG.

Control End-points and set presets
A.I.M. is used to facilitate connections between INFINITY transmitter and receiver devices through a easy centralized management system. Using Presets, a list of pre-defined connections, multiscreen, video wall or signage setups can be brought up with a single click.

Redundant network operation
To ensure 24/7 uptime, a second A.I.M. can be added for redundant network. The units will automatically change to the second network port if they detect a failure. Most INFINITY Transmitters and Receivers also feature dual NIC network interfaces, allowing your full solution to be easily designed for maximum resilience.

Easy matrix setup
The A.I.M. automatically obtains the MAC addresses of extender transmitters & receivers as they are attached to the network using Zero Configuration networking. The administrator allocates IP addresses, names and locations so that devices are easy to identify, configure and control.

Open API for 3rd party control systems
Adder Technology publishes a simple API structure that allows easy integration with other 3rd-party control systems supplied by companies like AMX, Crestron, HRS or MediaLon at a HTTP level.
Adder INFINITY Manager Features
- Intuitive user interface

On-screen-display (OSD) at each user station
After logging in, users choose channel connections from an intuitive OSD similar to that of a Digital TV. Users can also use Presets to change channels for multiple screens across multiple receivers.

Remote OSD
The remote OSD allows the user to "push" video and control to another station or to a video wall or projector.

Favorites & Fast hotkey switching
Video and USB switching time between computer sources is less than 1 second to provide a quality user experience. Each user can also select their favorite channels within the OSD and allocate a hotkey for faster switching between channels.

USB device sharing
USB sharing allows multiple users to connect to and control a single computer at the same time. Each transmitter can report 12 unique USB devices (identified by VID/PID codes) but will merge devices with the same ID to allow many more.

Virtual KVM Transmitter Channels
A Virtual Transmitter Channel can be setup via the management software to combine video, audio and USB from different transmitters as a single source. Ideal application where audio alerts or mixed video sources are required.

LDAP integration
LDAP allows integration and user authentication with a directory server such MS Active Directory, OpenLDAP or OpenDJ. To help ease setup, the systems LDAP interface can easily import users and passwords from other systems.

SNMP v3 get / walk
External machines can check status of the AdderLink Infinity network and units through the A.I.M. SNMP v3 security is implemented, supporting AES/DES transport with MD5/SHA authentication.

External NTP server support - NTPv4.2
Connect up to 3 NTP servers with authenticated connections using MD5 and Key ID as defined in the NTP standards. All AdderLink Infinity units in an A.I.M. network now get time using authenticated NTP from A.I.M.

Centralized firmware upgrades
As well as managing its own firmware upgrade, A.I.M. manages the upgrade of each device on the network and can deploy firmware to hundreds of devices at the same time, meaning a system-wide upgrade takes only a few minutes.

System backups
Backups of the database can be saved internally, externally or emailed automatically. Automatic updates can be scheduled on an hourly, daily or weekly basis.
