About Interplay | MAM Control Center
Starting with release 5, Interplay MAM systems are installed using the MAM Control Platform,
which consists of MAM Control Service and MAM Control Center.
The MAM Control Service must be installed on all Interplay MAM servers that are running the
Windows Server operating system. MAM Control Service is the local agent, responsible for the
deployment of files to the server, the execution of scripts on the server, and a number of
administrative tasks during runtime of the MAM system.
MAM Control Center is the central service for installation and configuration. Its GUI can be used by
administrators to install Interplay MAM Packages and Kits, and monitor Interplay MAM installation.
MAM Control Center is installed on one, dedicated Interplay server. It provides the following
features:
• Working with Packages
• Working with Servers
• Working with Service Groups
• Working with System Settings
• Working with Jobs
• Working with the Service Controller
11
Prerequisites for Using MAM Control Center
To use MAM Control Center you must be a member of an administrator group that has the
permission to use MAM Control Center (recommended: a domain user group
MAM_Administrators). The name of the group is set during installation of MAM Control Center.
For additional information, see the Interplay | MAM Installation Manual.
As an administrator you can review and assign group rights in the User Manager of the Interplay
MAM Administrator. For additional information, see the “Interplay | MAM User Manager User’s
Guide” that is shipped with the software.

added before packages can be installed. All added servers must be running and accessible
through the network.
To add a server:
1. Click Servers on the Home tab’s Views pane.
The Servers view opens.
Area Description
1 Servers list Lists the Display Name and Status (online, offline, or error) of all servers added to
your installation.

To use a server of type “MCS”, MediaCentral Platform Service must be installed on that
server so that the player for playback and Video Analysis is available in MAM.
4. (Option) Enter a display name for the server in the Display name box. If you do not provide a
Display name, the Host name is used as display name.
5. Enter the TCP host name of the server in the Host Name box. The host name you type is
