About Channel Communication Setup
In addition to the way your channels are defined in TXPlay2’s iTX Channel Config, in iTX
Desktop you need to define the channel communication setup. This is critical for TXPlay 2
to be able to manage the leader/follower network for any channels that are in a
main/backup or simulcast setup.
There are two options that within the Engineering layout that need to be enabled or
disabled, depending on the type iTX channel setup you are configuring. The options are
called Master/Slave Setup and Simulcast Setup and they can be found in the Channel
Config pop-up layout, on the Channel Config 3 tab, under the Routing options.

1 Start the iTX Desktop on a client PC and login with an Administrator profile.
2 Open the Engineering layout.
3 Click Channel Config.
The Channel Config pop-up layout appears.
4 From the View list, select the view with the channels to be configured.
5 Select a channel to configure.
6 Click the Channel Config 3 tab.

7 Enable the channel communication options using the following criteria:
• For any backup channel or channel with a backup, enable Master/Slave Setup.
