6. In the API Password field, enter the password for accessing the Zixi Broadcaster. The default password on Zixi Broadcasters is 1234. Unless you have changed the password for this Broadcaster, enter 1234 in this field.

8. Select the Broadcaster Type. Options are:
   
   • Regular Primary (default) – The Broadcaster functions as an active member of the cluster.
   • Standby Backup – The Broadcaster does not accept Sources, while there are active Regular Broadcasters in an OK statereceive Sources/Channels unless all Primary broadcasters are unavailable (or it is manually configured to receive that Source).
9. Click Save.
   The Broadcaster is configured and will remain in Pending state until you configure the initial connection to the Zixi Broadcaster, see the following section Connecting the Zixi Broadcaster (Zixi Broadcaster UI).
