COS Configurations

Last Updated on June 24, 2026

A COS Configuration has two primary functions:

  • It allows you to logically group Testing Devices and COS – SDs.
  • It allows you to easily specify the settings for all the devices in the COS Configuration.

The particular information you need to know varies based on how you plan to perform online testing. Listed below are the online testing setup options (A and B) that are available.

Important: DRC strongly recommends using Testing Setup A with COS – SDs configured for Content Management and Content Hosting.

Online Testing Setup A

  • Use the COS interface to manage one or more COS – SDs and Testing Devices.
  • One or more COS – SDs are configured for Content Management and Content Hosting.
    • Content Hosting and Content Management can be toggled on or off.

Online Testing Setup B

Use the COS interface to manage one or more COS Configurations containing Testing Devices only. Test content is received directly from DRC without hosting of any type.

  • No COS – SD software needs to be installed.
    • COS interface only.
  • No COS – SDs configured for ContentManagement or Content Hosting.
