# Pairing a Powerstation Aux to a Powerstation Main

## Scope

We will be discussing Powerstation Main configurations with Powerstation Aux units present.

> [!CAUTION]
> **First thing's first:**
> 
> Be sure to do this on a PC connected directly to the Powerstation, and with the Powerstation disconnected from the larger network. Some of these steps can be destructive to a network with more than one Powerstation system.

## Step 1 - Turn on the Backup Power option

- Navigate to the **Mix Engine > Options** page in your Powerstation Main's configuration website
- Find the **Backup Power** option at the bottom and turn it on
- Click the **Apply** button

## Step 2 - Pair the Aux to the Main Powerstation

- Navigate to the **Mix Engine > Network** page of your Powerstation's configuration website

- Wait a few seconds for the system to run discovery on the network
- Under **PowerStation Hardware Components** **> AUX I/O**, click the dropdown box next to **Select**. You should see the MAC address of the Aux I/O and its current IP address.
- Select the Aux IO and confirm that the value for **new IP** is correct
- Click **Apply IP** and wait for the system to perform the task.
