Administration

3.Enter a Template Name, select a Schedule Type, and click Next. (Duplicate template names are allowed but not recommended.)

Each Schedule Type subsequently has a different wizard depending on the selections you make but basically, you select the source stream (which can be a live or stored broadcast), the downstream targets (VBricks or STBs) to which it will be broadcast, and configure any Advanced Settings (see note below) for the VBricks or STBs. When done the template you created is available to authorized Portal Server users as an Emergency Broadcast template. See the ETV Portal Server v3.1 User Guide for more information.

Note Advanced Settings are available to configure VBricks and STBs with exceptional configuration parameters. It is unlikely you will ever need to change these settings. In all cases you can safely ignore the Advanced Settings and use the defaults provided by ETV Portal Server.
