--- title: Connecting the Zixi Receiver (Zixi Receiver UI) slug: zen-master/connecting-the-zixi-receiver-zixi-receiver-ui docTags: createdAt: 2024-12-27T15:59:50.097Z --- For each Zixi Receiver component that has been configured in ZEN Master, you will need to configure the connection of the Zixi Receiver (using its Zixi Receiver UI) to ZEN Master. This will enable the actual connection, using the configured SSH keys. This can either be done manually by entering the configuration settings into the Zixi Receiver UI, or automatically using the ZEN tab in the Zixi Receiver UI (for v12 Receivers). :::hint{type="info"} If you are using an SSH Key that was imported from the Receiver (not generated in ZEN Master) then you will need to use the manual method to connect the Receiver to ZEN Master and not the automatic method. ::: **To connect the Zixi Receiver Manually (for v11 and below):** :::::WorkflowBlock :::WorkflowBlockItem In the ZEN Master UI, in the main navigation, click **Receivers**. The Receivers screen opens. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Select the Receiver that you would like to connect. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem In the **Details** tab at the right side of the screen, click on the download link for the SSH Key. ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/mzxtTQEvCNIdUNgF2kuwJ/PrIwEpSyXoK1oPYlHzX0C_image.png" size="66" width="520" height="288" position="center" alt="Download SSH Key" showCaption="false"} ::: ::::WorkflowBlockItem In the **Configuration** section you will find your personal connection configuration settings for use with Receivers *Version 1.11 and older*.
