The Codec Management System (CMS) is a separate program to the TieServer Console and can be used to configure and monitor your entire network of Tieline codecs, including the studio codecs used by Report-IT for IP connections. Codec Management System codec licenses can be purchased from your favorite dealer.
After being purchased, codec licenses are added to your domain by Tieline. When you log in to the TieServer Console the number of codec licenses available within your domain is displayed within the CMS Licenses section of the Details Panel.
These licenses can then be allocated to the codecs you have within your domain. To manage these codecs using the Codec Management System, simply download the application and install the license file for the system. Both the system license file and the application can be downloaded from within Codec section of the TieServer Console.
The suggested workflow for someone who has just purchased Codec Management System codec licenses is as follows:
1.Log in to the TieServer Console.
3.Allocate Codec Management System Licenses to your codecs.
