For each Zixi Broadcaster component that has been added to the cluster, you will need to configure the connection of the Zixi Broadcaster (using its Zixi Broadcaster UI). This includes configuring the SSH tunnel. This can either be done manually by entering the configuration settings into the zixi Broadcaster UI or automatically using the ZEN Master tab in the Zixi Broadcaster UI (for v12+ Broadcasters). For our use case, we will be using the automatic method.

To connect the Zixi Broadcaster Automatically (for v12 and above):

1. In ZEN Master, in the main navigation, click Settings Configuration.
2. In the SSH Security & Keys tab, click Download on the relevant SSH Key to download key to your machine.
3. In the main navigation, click Broadcasters.
4. Select the relevant cluster from the list of existing clusters.
5. At the bottom of the screen, click the Broadcasters tab.

6. Click Configuration Help.
7. In the Configuration Help screen, select the relevant Broadcaster from the drop-down list.
   The Configuration help instructions are shown, containing specific configuration settings for the selected Broadcaster. You will be using the settings that are shown in section 2 of this page to connect the Zixi Broadcaster (host, user, and remote source port), so you should write them down or keep this browser tab open while you configure the Zixi Broadcaster.
8. Login to the Zixi Broadcaster UI (it could be a locally installed Zixi Broadcaster, e.g. http://localhost:4444 or a remote Zixi Broadcaster).
   The Zixi Broadcaster UI opens.
