4.5 The Channels Tab

The Channels tab provides access to all settings and options related directly to the video, audio and USB streams, collectively known as channels, emanating from any number of transmitters.

Click the CHANNELS tab to view the initial View Channels page.

The various other Channels pages (e.g. Add Channel, View Channel Groups, etc.) are selectable within the blue section located just below the tabs.

4.5.1 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).

4.5.2 Channels > View Channels Page

This page lists all channels that currently exist within the ServSwitch iPATH system. A channel is automatically created for every transmitter when it is added and configured within the ServSwitch iPATH network. The new default channel for each added transmitter will inherit the name of the transmitter. Such default names can be altered at any time and additionally, you can also create new channels manually, if necessary.

Within the list of channels, the Allowed Connections column indicates how each channel may be accessed by users. By default, these settings are inherited from the global setting (configurable within the Dashboard > Settings page), however, each channel can be altered as required. The icons denote the following connection rules:

Connection details inherited from the global setting

Shared access

Exclusive access

View only

The Channel Groups column shows to how many channel groups each channel belongs.

The Users column indicates how many users have permission to view each channel.

•Create a new channel: Click the “Add Channel” option.

•Create a new channel group: Click the “Add Channel Group” option.

•Configure an existing channel: Click for the required channel.

•Delete a channel: Click for the required channel.
