Comrex BRIC-TS License (for Access or BRIC-Link)

One of the issues that many users of Comrex's ACCESS codecs are faced with is having to deal with IP network firewalls or trying to access their codecs which are on a private Local Area Network or LAN. Just as when you are trying to make a telephone call, if you don't know the number, you can't make the call. But what if the number can only be accessed from inside your building, as with a PBX extension? In order to get to that extension from outside of your building, you have to go through the main switchboard which then would route your call to the person at the extension you are trying to call.

BRIC TS is a server which is maintained by Comrex and located at a secure site. Use of this server is free. A BRIC-enabled device simply needs to apply the one-time license unlock for each device that will be used on BRIC TS. A user or administrator would log on to the BRIC TS website and create an account. Once an account has been created, a group of codecs is defined. Each codec is then identified in the group listing by its MAC (Media Access Control) address. Multiple groups can be created within each account. For example, if you have ten ACCESS codecs and five are used by the News department and five are used by the FM Rock station, you can create two groups: News Department and Rock 101.1. Each group would be able to access only codecs in their own group. However, it is possible for individual codecs to join other groups.
