Step 2. Add channels to the MPTS
After you create the MPTS, you must add channels. The channels must already exist.
-
On the Conductor Live main menu, choose MPTS.
-
Select the MPTS by ID or by name. If the MPTS is listed twice, it has been set up for output listening. Select the MPTS that is marked as Primary.
The Details page for the MPTS appear. The page has four tabs, and the Channels tab is currently selected.
-
On the MPTS Details page, select the Channels tab. Note that the area at the bottom of the page lists the channels in the MPTS. This list is currently empty.
-
Choose Add a Channel and choose from the list of channels that appears. To appear in this list, a channel must have these characteristics:
-
It must be set up as an SPTS channel with MPTS membership set to Remote.
-
It can't already be in another MPTS.
-
It can't already be assigned to an MPTS unless using CBR rate control.
When a channel is using CBR for the Rate Control Mode, it can be used in unlimited MPTSes.
-
-
When you select the channel, it is added to the list of channels for this MPTS. The list has several tabs.
-
Complete the fields in the tabs as appropriate. For more information about the significant fields, see the sections after this procedure.
-
Choose Save.
The MPTS is now ready to start. See Starting or stopping an MPTS.
