6. Select what events you want to be sent via this Channel by selecting the
appropriate Event List. Events that arrive at this channel will be checked that
they on this Event List, if they are, then will be routed through this Channel.
Events that arrive at this Channel which are not on this list will be blocked.
7. Enter the number of Attempts that you want xGen to try sending the event
message on this Channel before switching to the Next Channel.
8. Select the Next Channel Number to use if the event message fails to be sent
on this Channel.
Each Channel can have one Next Channel as a backup. This allows you to
chain up to 15 backup paths should the primary one fail. Enter Next Channel
as 0 to end the chain of channels.
9. You have now finished programming one channel. If you entered a Next
Channel, then go to that Channel number and program that now.
10. Once you have programmed each channel and backup channel(s) you have
completed this section. Check or edit Sequence Attempts under
Communicator – System Event Reporting (6.11.2).
11. Go to Channel Groups. Here you will group channels together so selected
event messages will be sent to multiple destinations at the same time.
Another way to think of Channel Groups is "multi-path reporting".
12. Select each channel you want to be part of a group.
Messages sent to a Channel Group will be checked against each Channel's
Event List. If it is on the list then xGen will attempt to send it. If not, then xGen
will not send it, even if the Channel is in the same group.
