4.4 The Dashboard Tab

The Dashboard is your main point of contact for checking and changing the general status of all ServSwitch iPATH operations.

Click the DASHBOARD tab to view its initial home page.

The various other Dashboard pages (e.g. Settings, Backups, Updates, etc.) are selectable within the blue section located just below the tabs.

4.4.1 Dashboard > Home Page

•Shutdown button - Allows the admin user to shut down the ServSwitch iPATH server. The OSD will no longer work on Receivers. The ServSwitch iPATH server will need to be manually started again when next required.

•Restart - The admin user can reboot the ServSwitch iPATH server. The OSD and admin section will be unavailable while the server is rebooting. This currently takes about 75 seconds.

Within the Home page*, the different sections provide a variety of information:

•Warning messages - Live alerts are displayed concerning any devices that are offline, rebooting, recently added or unconfigured.

•Active Connections - shows the five most recent active sessions, detailing for each: When the session started, which user/ receiver/channel is involved, the connection type (icons show audio, video, serial, USB, exclusive), and IP addresses in use. The red unplug icon on the far right allows the admin user to disconnect a connection.

•Event Log - shows all actions performed by the admin or end-users within the ServSwitch iPATH system. See also the Event Log page.

•Latest Channels - shows the last five channels created within the ServSwitch iPATH system. A channel is created by default when a new transmitter is added and configured. The edit icon next to a channel allows the admin user to configure the channel.

•Latest User Logins - shows the last five users who logged in (either to the ServSwitch iPATH admin or at an ServSwitch Agility Receiver).

•Latest User Registrations - shows the last five users added to the ServSwitch iPATH system, with a link to edit the user’s details/permissions.

•Latest Channel Changes - shows the last five users who changed a channel, either while using the on-screen display (OSD) at an ServSwitch Agility Receiver, or via the ServSwitch iPATH admin control panel.

•Latest Receivers - shows the last five receivers to be added and configured within the ServSwitch iPATH network. Click to configure a receiver; click to connect to a channel; or click to disconnect an existing connection.

•Latest Transmitters - shows the last five transmitters to be added and configured within the ServSwitch iPATH network. Click to configure a transmitter.

* The Home page is auto-refreshed every ten seconds to ensure that the latest information is always available.
