Monitoring channels using the Monitor Wall
The Monitor Wall is a page from which you can monitor a collection of up to 18 channels.
The collection of channels is referred to as a view, which is configured by the designated
system administrator. The Monitor Wall displays a confidence monitor for each channel
assigned to the selected view.
Below each confidence monitor is a button that provides a shortcut to the Channel Control
page (see
Monitoring a channel using Channel Control , on page 84), which allows you to
quickly switch to a page that provides tools to control the live channel. Above each
confidence monitor is an indicator that displays the health status of the channel by
changing color. The color of the indicator describes the level of the alerts on the channel’s
associated device:
For more information on alerts, see Viewing active alerts in the service , on page 132.
