The Web server
Cisco TMS uses Micros oft Internet Information Services to make Cisco TMS available as a webpage.
Since version 9.0, Cisco TMS has been developed with the Microsoft .NET platform and some extra
components are therefore required on the IIS for Cisco TMS to work properly. ASP.NE T version 3.5 is
currently in use. These components are installed by Windows during the Cisco TMS installation as
they are required by Cisco TMS, but not Cisco specific. All web-related files will be stored on the
server in the loc ation you specified during the installation. The default location is c:\Program
Files\TA NDBE RG\ TMS\.
