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.

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.
• Inherit from global setting - uses the setting of the "Allowed Connection
Modes" option within the Dashboard > Settings

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
the name(s) to the right list.
Note: You can also include or exclude individual channels by double clicking on
them.
To add the channel to all groups: Click
left to 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
move the name(s) back to the left list.
To remove the channel from all groups: Click
from the right to the left list.

exclusion.

CTRL key if selecting more than one) user/group names in the left list and then
click to add them to the right list.
