6.4.4.10.3. System Set Manager � Configuration � Subscribe to Channels —
Subscribe systems to configuration channels according to order of preference. This tab is available
only to Satellite Administrators and Configuration Administrators. Enter a number in the
Rank
column
to subscribe to a channel. Channels are accessed in the order of their rank, starting from the number
1. Channels not assigned a numeric value are not associated with the selected systems. Your local
configuration channel always overrides all other channels. Once you have established the rank of the
config channels, you must decide how they are applied to the selected systems.
The three buttons below the channels reflect your options. Clicking
Subscribe with Highest
Priority
places all the ranked channels before any other channels to which the selected systems are
currently subscribed. Clicking
Subscribe With Lowest Priority
places the ranked channels after
those channels to which the selected systems are currently subscribed. Clicking
Replace Existing
Subscriptions
removes any existing association and starts cleanly with the ranked channels, leaving
every system with the same config channels in the same order.
In the first two cases, if any of the newly ranked config channels is already in a system's existing
config channel list, the duplicate channel is removed and replaced according to the new rank,
effectively reordering the system's existing channels. When such conflicts exist, you are presented
with a confirmation page to ensure the intended action is correct. When the change has taken place, a
message appears at the top of the page indicating the update was successful.
