TAS MANAGED
You can purchase TAS separately through Tivella (www.tivella.com or a Tivella dealer/reseller). A TAS server should be used to configure and manage multiple NMP-500s remotely. TAS provides centralized scheduling of video content presentation on multiple NMP-500s, as well as management and seamless operation of a Cisco® ACNS Content Distribution Networking infrastructure if one is installed. This configuration greatly reduces maintenance overhead, when TAS and the NMP-500are connected to the network (LAN/WAN) with the TAS acting as a manager for multiple NMP-500s.
