iCOMPEL Digital Signage - User Guide (V8.1.1)
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 be able to publish.
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've set the channel role, you'll be taken to the Manage Channel page. Or, you can click on Channels, 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. You will be notified if it is able to do this successfully or not.
