4.6 The Receivers Tab
The Receivers tab shows a paginated table of all receiver devices within the ServSwitch iPATH network.
Click the RECEIVERS tab to view the initial View Receivers page.
The other Receivers pages (e.g. View Receiver Groups, Add Receiver Group, etc.) are selectable within the blue section located
just below the tabs.
4.6.1 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).
4.6.2 Receivers > View Receivers Page
The table shows the following information for each receiver:
• Name • Onlinestatus
• IPaddress • Firmwarerevisionofreceiverunit
• Description&Location • Manage(adminoptions-seebelow)
The Manage icons are as follows:
(Note: You can hover your mouse pointer over any icons to reveal additional information)
Identify unit: Causes the LED lights to flash on the front of the selected unit. An alert will be shown if the unit cannot be
contacted (e.g. if it is offline)
Reboot device: Allows you to reboot or reset a unit to its factory settings. A popup will ask which task you wish to carry
out. A reboot is useful if a device enters an unknown state. A reset will return the unit to its factory default state and reset
its IP address (the unit will retain any firmware updates that have been applied).
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.
Configure device: Displays the “Configure Receiver” page.
Connect to a channel: A list of available channels is shown, along with connection modes (view/shared/exclusive). The
admin user can thus remotely change channel on any receiver.
Disconnect: If a receiver is currently connected to a channel, clicking the disconnect icon will end the connection, regardless
of who is connected. Hovering over the icon will show which user is connected, which channel they are connected to, and
when the connection was created.
