Channels > Add or Configure a Channel
From the View Channels page, you can add a new channel or configure an existing
channel:
• To create a new channel: Click the "Add Channel" option.
• To configure an existing channel: Click
The Add and Configure pages are similar in content.
Channel Name, Description and Location
These are all useful ways for you to identify the channel and its origins. A consistent
naming and description policy is particularly useful in large installations.
Video, Audio, USB and Serial
These drop down boxes list all of the available streams from installed transmitters. When
creating a channel, you can choose to take all four streams from the same transmitter or
from different ones, as required.
Notes: Where necessary, channels can be created without video, audio, USB and/or serial.
Only one receiver can use a transmitter's serial port at any time.
Allowed Connections
This section allows you to define the types of connection that you wish to permit users
to make. You can define particular individual or combined connection types to suit
requirements.
Note: This setting for each channel acts as the final arbiter of whether exclusive access can
actually be achieved. If you deny exclusive access rights within this setting, then exclusive access
for any user cannot take place for this channel, regardless of settings made elsewhere.

Group Membership
Groups provide a quick and easy way to manage settings for channels. By making a
channel part of a particular group, the channel automatically inherits the key settings of
that group.
The group membership section displays existing channel groups in the left list (to which
the current channel does not belong) and the channel groups in the right list to which it
does belong.
To add the channel to groups: Highlight one or more (use the CTRL key if selecting
more than one) group names in the left list and then click
right list.
Note: You can also include or exclude individual channels by double clicking on them.
To add the channel to all groups: Click
the right list.
To remove the channel from groups: Highlight one or more (use the CTRL key if
selecting more than one) group names in the right list and then click
name(s) back to the left list.
To remove the channel from all groups: Click
right to the left list.
Permissions
This section allows you to determine which users and user groups should be given
access to this channel. Individual users and user groups are handled within separate sub-
sections, but both use the same method for inclusion and exclusion.
To include one or more users (or groups): Highlight one or more (use the CTRL
key if selecting more than one) user/group names in the left list and then click
them to the right list.
To include all users (or groups): Click
to the right list.
To remove one or more users (or groups): Highlight one or more (use the CTRL
key if selecting more than one) user/group names in the right list and then click
move them back to the left list.
