# Setting up a Local Source for Powerstation

## Scope

This article discusses how to create a local source input on the Powerstation Integrated Engine.

## Description

The Powerstation has local I/O for audio. In order to use them, some configuration is required. This document covers setting up an input to be used on the console. This article assumes that you've already [captured the console](/v1/docs/capturing-element-or-fusion-console-modules) and have already [set up the Powerstation](/v1/docs/setting-up-a-powerstation) for the rest of the network already.

## 1) Configure an input

Once you've chosen an input, you'll need to configure it for the network.

- Go to the **Sources** page under the correct I/O Subsystem
- Find the input you're using and give it a **Name** and a **Channel** number
- Set **Stream Mode** to the appropriate value
- Click **Apply**

## 2) Create a Source Profile

Once you've configured the input for the Livewire Network, it's time to create a source profile so it can be pulled up on the console.

- Go to the **Sources** page under **Console**
- Click the **Create new source profile** button
- Choose the appropriate **Source Type** from the drop-down list.
- Give the profile a **Source Name**
- Enter the LW channel number from step one into the **Primary Source** field.
- Configure any other requirements for the source profile
- Click **OK**

## 3) Start using the Source

At this time, you can either add the source to a show profile, or manually load it to a channel on the console.
