4.7 The Transmitters Tab

The Transmitters tab shows a paginated table of all transmitter devices within the ServSwitch iPATH network.

Click the TRANSMITTERS tab to view the transmitters page.

4.7.1 Search filters

The key fields (Name, Description and Location) all provide a search filter to locate particular items within long lists. Enter a full or partial search string into the appropriate filter box and then click to start the search.

Optionally use the buttons to invert the order of the listing.

The page will reload with the same pagination/sort order, but with the added search filter. It’s possible to filter by several columns at once (e.g. search for all entries with “mac” in the name, and “mixed” in the description). Search terms are case-insensitive. You can re-sort and paginate on filtered results without losing the filters.

To remove a filter, click the red cross next to the relevant filter, (you can also empty the search box and click again).

Delete device: Confirmation will be requested. You will need to factory-reset any devices that you wish to re-configure to work with ServSwitch iPATH.
