Channels and Signage Networks

After you have published Channel contents to a file store or Channel Content Server (CCS) you can configure another

iCOMPEL to subscribe to the Channel. The Subscriber iCOMPEL must be able to access the CCS over a network.

You create the Channel contents on the Publishing iCOMPEL, and you can create additional Channels that contain different

Schedules. For more information see Multi-channel publishing .

To set up an iCOMPEL as a Publisher you must first change its role . You must then configure the channel settings

for the Publisher to function correctly.

7.3.1 Configuring the Publisher

Once you have set the Channel role and decided which Channel Content Server to use, you need to configure the

publishing iCOMPEL.

When you have set the Channel role, you will be taken to the Manage Channel page. Alternatively, you can click on

Channels in the Home Page Menu bar, then Manage Channels.

The Publisher Configuration Tab

You can then fill in the settings for this Publisher and press Apply to save them.

If you're using FTP to publish, then the iCOMPEL will attempt to log into the FTP server using the supplied server name and

optional username and password to test. Screen messages will notify you if this is successfully achieved or not.
