  4. In the stream type selection, select the Push radio button (default).

  5. In the Stream Parameters section, if you would like to add a password in order to increase security, enter a password in the Password field. (Make a note of the precise Password (case sensitive). You will enter this as the Password in the OnAir settings.)
