Adding Failover Groups to Receiver

This enables the Feeder to use two or more binary-identical streams for hitless failover.

To Add a Failover Group:

1. In the Zixi Receiver Inputs page, click the + New Input button in the Menu bar. 
   The Stream details screen is displayed.
   
2. Select Failover for the Input stream type.
3. Enter the unique Input Name (an internal name) for the Receiver.
4. Enter the Stream Parameters (see Input Stream Parameters Table below).
5. Click the button to add streams as sources in the hitless failover group.
   The Source field is shown with a dropdown list of available Sources.
   
6. Select a Source from the list of Sources.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each Source that you would like to add to this group (min. 2 Sources).
8. You can configure one or more of the streams as Backup, by selecting the Backup checkbox next to the relevant stream. (Backup streams are used only when all the Primary streams are down.)
9. Click OK.
   The “Input added” message appears on the top of the screen. The Failover Stream is added to the Zixi Receiver and now appears in the list of Input streams available.
