iCOMPEL Digital Signage - User Guide (V9.0.3)

File Transfer Allowed

You can set the times during which file transfer is allowed. For example, if Channel updates typically involve large files that

may slow down your network, you may choose to allow file transfers at times when other network activity is low.

7.4.2 Updating Subscription

Once the Subscriber iCOMPEL is subscribed to a Channel, the Subscriber will continue to poll the Channel automatically

at the required interval, without any further intervention.

You can also manually prompt the iCOMPEL to poll the Channel for updates. Go to Channels, Subscribe Channel and

select Poll Channel Now.

Updating a Subscription via USB Flash Drive

The Channel contents must be published to the memory stick you are using. You then plug this into the iCOMPEL for

the Channel to be updated. The iCOMPEL will detect that the memory stick has been inserted and read the Channel

contents. If the Channel has changed since it was last read by the iCOMPEL, the iCOMPEL player's contents will be

updated.

While the Channel update is occurring, a message will appear on the top left corner of the display detailing the status of the

subscription. When the subscription is complete, a message will inform you that the USB device can be removed:

USB subscription complete message

7.5 Channel Ad hoc

Using Ad hoc content within a Channel enables you to allow users to show custom content on their local iCOMPEL

while still showing your Channel.

Ad hoc content is created in the same way as normal as part of a Scheduled Layout. Local users can then log into their

local subscribing iCOMPEL with an Ad hoc user account and change this content .

Ad hoc from Center

Ad hoc From Center functionality is similar to regular Ad hoc, in that it allows a user to log in via a simplified user

interface to change an element of the signage quickly and easily. However, instead of a user being able to log into a

Subscriber iCOMPEL, the changes are made on the Publisher and broadcast within the Channel to the Subscribers.

When configuring the Subscribers , the centrally-updated polling interval can be set to a higher rate than the regular

Channel polling rate, so that Ad hoc from center updates arrive at the Subscribers more quickly.
