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
