The Presets Tab - ADDER AdderLink Infinity Manager User Manual

The Presets tab

Presets enable multiple actions to be pre-defined so that they can be initiated
with a single action. This feature is particularly useful when switching multiple
AdderLink Infinity units, such as in the example below where multiple video
heads need to be switched in unison between different server systems.
INFINITY RX
The preset allows
multiple AdderLink
Infinity receivers to
be switched between
transmitters using a
single action.
INFINITY TX INFINITY TX

According to how a preset is configured, it is possible to have one or more
receivers connected to separate channels (i.e. unicast) or multiple receivers
connected to a single channel (i.e. multicast).

The Presets page is where the admin user can create and configure new and
existing presets.
Click the PRESETS tab to view the Presets page.
The nature of each preset, i.e. which receiver connects to which channel(s),
is defined by the admin. The permitted connection modes are worked out
according to:
• The topology of the preset,
AND
• The current connections within the AIM network.
For instance, if two receivers in a preset are configured to connect to the same
channel (multicast), it will not be possible to connect to the preset in exclusive
mode.
The presets table shows the preset name, description, allowed connection
modes, and number of receiver-channel pairs in the preset.
If any preset-pairs are misconfigured (e.g. a channel no longer exists), a warning
triangle will appear. The preset will NOT be usable if any receiver-channel pairs
are misconfigured.
The admin user can connect any presets using the standard view/shared/
exclusive buttons.
Note: There are no permissions to set for a preset. Instead, a preset will only
be available to users who have permission to use ALL receivers and channels
within the preset. In other words, permissions on the preset are implied by the
permissions on the preset's contents.
