Channels
The Auron Omni communicates through the use of channels. A channel can be any type of communication medium.
Find a complete description of all available channels here.
To add or edit a channel, follow these steps:
- Open the Auron Omni Manager.
- Click Channels in the left-side tree view.
Auron Omni Manager – Channels View
The green icons in the channel overview indicate that a channel is connected and running. When the icon changes color, check the activity view at the bottom of the window for more information about the current channel status. The activity view shows, at protocol level, exactly what the channel is doing at any given moment.
To add a new channel, click New Channel in the view. This opens the channel wizard.
The first page of the channel wizard is the channel selector.
Create new channel
Here you can select which channel type to create.
Use the first screen of the channel specific wizard to enter the general properties of the channel.

In this page you can specify the following properties:
| Property | Description |

| Name | The identifier of this channel. This name is used in trigger conditions and custom views. The name must be uppercase and must not contain spaces. |
| Description | A short descriptive name for this channel. This name is visible in the messages view and channel views. |
| Send/Receive | If a channel supports both sending and receiving, this field restricts it to sending only or receiving only. |
| Daily Limit | Use this field to limit the number of outgoing messages for this channel. This helps prevent a runaway application from generating unexpectedly high costs. |
