Figure 5: The Schedule Dialog
4.7.2. For sake of your test, select any title and destination, then click [Request].
Phoenix should notify you that the event was successfully scheduled, and you
should see the newly scheduled event on the Future Events list. If the request is
declined, investigate your routing and ensure that you have defined a source that
has the same format as the title that you are scheduling. For more information
regarding problems with scheduled events, see section 5.3.
4.7.3. Assuming the event that you requested was properly scheduled, you can wait for it
to launch at the scheduled time or else you can double-click the event within the
Future Events list and click [Load], then double-click again and click [Start Now].
4.7.4. When the event launches, the display device should power ON and tune to the
appropriate channel or crosspoint. You should then have control of the scheduled
event using the AMX handheld remote control, the Phoenix web client, or the
Client32 thick client application.
4.7.5. After testing one of your sources, forcibly end the event by double-clicking on it in
the Present Events window and clicking [End Now]. The double-click on the event
within the Past Events list and click [Unload]. Repeat this process until you have
verified that all sources are functioning properly.
4.8. Completing the basic facility configuration

the various menu selections, dialogs, capabilities, and overall use of the system are
described in subsequent sections. Section 5 is intended to serve as a sort of “quick
start” for advanced system installation Technicians.

Scheduler & Event Management
For personnel within the Media Center, one of the most common tasks will be the scheduling
of media events for the end-users. While the end users may also schedule their own events
if they have the proper permissions (see section 9.2), scheduling of events is often
accomplished by the Media Center staff at most facilities. In this section we will learn how to
create, edit, and delete events. Scheduling via the web client is explained in section 10.2.
5.1. About event types
Phoenix allows for scheduling of several event types, including [Recorded Media],
[Broadcast Channels], [Physical Items], [Room Reservations], and [System
control]. Your facility may also include additional event types such as Media Macros
and Distance Learning, in which case separate documentation will be provided
