Note: If you have already fully registered your Broadcaster in ZEN Master, you can skip this step and proceed to the next one.
:::

After saving the Broadcaster in ZEN Master, its status will show as **Pending**. You now need to complete the connection from the Broadcaster UI by configuring the SSH tunnel back to ZEN Master. You will be working in both ZEN Master and the Broadcaster UI simultaneously, *so it is helpful to keep both open in separate browser tabs*.

::::WorkflowBlock
:::WorkflowBlockItem
In ZEN Master, in the main navigation, click **Broadcasters** and open the **Broadcasters** tab.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Click on the Broadcaster you set up in the previous step with **Pending** status to reveal its details.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Click the ⋮ icon in the upper-right corner of the details panel and select **Config**. ZEN Master displays step-by-step configuration instructions for this Broadcaster — including values to copy and paste into the Broadcaster UI, and a button to download the SSH certificate you will need.

**In a new browser tab**, open the Broadcaster UI. If the Broadcaster is running locally, navigate to `http://localhost:4444` or `http://127.0.0.1:4444`; if remote, navigate to `http://<ip-address>:4444`.

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Log in as **admin** (default password: `1234` - if you changed the admin password, use the new value).
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
In the Broadcaster UI, go to **Settings** in the main navigation and click **SSH Connections**.
