Help & Tutorial Index / Selectors Tab

Use this tab to manage all of your selectors. This tab displays a listing of some or all of your selectors and their jukebox association information. It provides a table containing the selector status, along with other key summary information. At any time, you can click on a Name of the selector to open the Selector Details page for that selector.

The main filter for the page is the drop-down option for Showing Selectors for. You can display the selector listing for all jukeboxes, a group of jukeboxes, or an individual jukebox. Only jukeboxes with selectors associated to them are displayed in the options list.

Note: A jukebox group is a way to organize your jukeboxes (commonly by route, by location type/genre, etc.). For more information on creating and maintaining groups, open the Groups tab and click Help.

The display table contains six fields of information. You can search the selector listing using one of the Search filters (see below for search filter details).

Column NameDescription
StatusThere are four possible statuses:
  • Error - Indicates something is wrong and you must take an action. Hover over the status with your mouse pointer to see the specific problem causing the error. See the Help for the Selector Details page for a full listing of diagnostic values.
  • Warning - Indicates that you have not heard anything from the selector recently. Selectors that are not actively communicating with the AMI server will not accept music credits.
  • Offline - Indicates that the selector has been intentionally shut down.
  • Good - Indicates that the selector is connected and working properly.
NameThe identifying characteristic of the selector. Either a network mac address or serial number dependent on the type of selectory. Click on the Name to access the Selector Details page.
This icon indicates the last time the selector connected to the AMI server. This is displayed in minutes. Typically, the selector connects to the server every two minutes or so.
JukeboxThis is the name of the jukebox associated with the selector. If this field is blank, it indicates that the selector is currently not associated to any jukebox.
SNThis is the serial number of the jukebox, not the selector.

Note: Serial numbers are not unique, but they are unique within a model type.

Albums/MaxThis column displays the number of albums that are currently on the jukebox and the maximum number of albums allowed. Typically, the maximum is 300, but it is defined per contract.

You can use any of the following Search filters to customize the jukebox listing. As you select different Search filters, additional options may be displayed, as described below.
