ServSwitch iPATH

4.6.3 Receivers > Configure Receiver Page

From the View Receivers page, you can configure details for a receiver:

•Click for a receiver.

Note: If the IP address of the receiver is changed, the device will need to reboot itself.

4.6.3.1 Login Required

•No: When selected, anyone can use a receiver terminal and connect to a channel. The channels/permissions displayed to this anonymous user are those that are set for the “anonymous user” defined within the Dashboard > Settings page.

•Inherit from Receiver Groups: When selected, the requirement for user login will be determined by the “Login Required” settings within the Receiver Groups to which this unit belongs:

•If ANY of the receiver groups (to which this receiver belongs) are set as “Login Required = Yes”, this receiver will require login.

•If ANY of the receiver groups (to which this receiver belongs) are set as “Login Required = Inherit...” and the global setting is “login required = yes”, then this receiver will require login.

•If ALL receiver groups (to which this receiver belongs) are set as “Login Required = No”, then this receiver will NOT require login.

•Yes: When selected, a user will need to login with the username and password defined in the “Users” section. They will only be allowed to login if they have been granted permission to access that particular receiver.

4.6.3.2 Group Membership

To facilitate collective permission-granting for numerous receivers, a receiver can belong to one or more receiver groups. Any permissions applied to the receiver group are inherited by all receivers that are included within the receiver group. For example, multiple receivers can be made available to a user by placing them all in a receiver group and then granting the user permission to use that receiver group.

4.6.3.3 Permissions

This is hidden by default as, by default, all users have access to all receivers. You can deny access to particular receivers for a user in this section. However, be aware that users who are included within user groups may have access to the same receivers via their groups.
