:::WorkflowBlockItem
In the main navigation, click **Zixi Edge Devices**.
:::

Select the Feeder that you would like to Clone (i.e. the Feeder already configured in ZEN Master which has setting similar to those that you would like to set for the new Feeder that you are creating).

Click on the **Clone** button.

In the **Name** field, enter the name of the new Feeder.
