Subscriptions

Management of user subscriptions. The operation of subscription plans is described in a separate document.

Tariff plan will be applied to account based on the plan start and end dates matching the time when channels are requested. A change in user subscriptions causes a forced update of the channel list on all devices in the Account.

The admin interface allows you to manage services, but it is recommended to use the Provider API to work with accounts.

• Start date of subscription

• The expiration date of the subscription, if not specified, will be valid indefinitely, can be specified at any time

• Tariff - used tariff

• Depth of archive - overrides the depth of the archive of channels of the given tariff, if the original depth is less - the original will be used, if channel exists at several tariffs - the option with the deepest archive will be chosen.

Hint

The “Archive Depth” subscription option can be used as an additional paid feature for the subscriber. For example, your billing can adjust the number of days depending on the tariff or selected paid options.

Commands

Commands are used for real-time control and client notifications. TMS supports two message transports: websocket and http polling. WS transport provides prompt delivery of messages. HTTP Polling is a backup method of message delivery, messages are delivered once in 240 seconds. The list of sent commands and their status is displayed in this section.

Networks

Hint

Using account networks only makes sense in client access modes Account network or Account network or by default mode

Account networks are used to bind devices to an account. Any device that accesses the TMS server will be automatically bound to the account. If a device has been bound to another account, it will be re-bound to the one whose network includes the IP.
