for the Channel and a new Session based on these settings is started.

Channel Modification
Setup of a Channel, started by pressing the “Edit” key, is divided into seven parts:
•
General – Channel name, description and the type of operation
•
Layout – Frame size and placement of the Main and PIP windows
•
Profile – Bit-rate, frame-rate and quality settings
•
Network – Setup of multicast and unicast addresses, MTU's and TTL
•
Recording – Recording filename, title and description
•
Upload – FTP or Secure FTP server names and passwords, USB or Presentation Server
•
Notifications – E-mail reports of important Channel events
The paragraphs which follow describe in detail each of these parts.
4.1.3.
Channel Export/Import
A Channel's setup with all required parameters and settings may be exported to a .zip file. This provides

4.2.1. Set Channel Name
Each channel can be assigned a name, and these names can reflect the functional use of the channel.
The factory default settings name the channels in correspondence with their layout properties. Another
example might be “International Sales Team Update” for corporate usage, “Engineering Collaboration” in
the case of departmental usage, “San Francisco” designating some geographical assignments, or
“Chemistry 101” designating course related usage. Additional descriptive text may be added in the
“description” field.
