You can start or stop the input stream at any time.

**To Stop/Start the Input Stream:**

1. On the **Inputs** page of ZEC, click the desired row of the input stream that you want to stop.


2. Click the Actions button on the right end of the selected row and then **Stop**. The selected row which was a Connected Input Stream is no longer displayed and appears below as **Offline**.
   To continue the Input Stream click **Start** from the same menu.
