-Now save your config. Under Services you should see your config
+----
+==== Export Configuration ====
+\\
+Before we make any more configuration settings, we need to export the configuration. This will make setting up the other servers in the system much simpler.
+\\
+\\
+From the services page, find the service you just created.
+\\
+\\
+{{ :splitabrappliance008.jpg?1000 |}}
+\\
+Under Services you should see your config, click the Export button to save. The file will be downloaded to your local computer (Downloads folder if you are using Windows).
+\\
+\\
+Locate the file you just downloaded.
+\\
+\\
+{{ :splitabrappliance009.jpg?600 |}}
+\\
+\\
+The exported config file is a .json file, its plain text to easy to work with. We need to do two things with this file:
+\\
+\\
+. <color #ed1c24>Make a copy</color> (we need one file for each server we are using)
+\\
+\\
+. <color #ed1c24>Edit each copy</color> (we need to edit the UUID of the file, the UUID appears in two places in the file, remember <color #ed1c24>only edit the copy</color>(s)
+\\
+\\
+The filename contains the UUID, and you need to find this in the .json file, here is an example:
+\\
+\\
+live_encoding_<color #ed1c24>165246ce57984ca0adc505c97315ba2d</color>_20200205_config_01.json So in this example the UUID is <color #ed1c24>165246ce57984ca0adc505c97315ba2d</color>.
+\\
+\\
+Open the file to edit (you can use Notepad) and change one of the numbers/letters in the UUID.
+\\
+\\
+{{ :splitabrappliance010.jpg?800 |}}
+\\
+\\
+In the above example I changed <color #ed1c24>1</color>65246ce57984ca0adc505c97315ba2d to <color #ed1c24>2</color>65246ce57984ca0adc505c97315ba2d
+\\
+\\
+Save the file and close your text editor.
+\\
+\\
+I renamed my .json files so it was obvious which file was for which Encoding Live.
+\\
+\\
+{{ :splitabrappliance011.jpg?800 |}}
+\\
+\\
+Repeat these steps for each Encoding Live in your Split ABR system.
+\\
+\\
+----
+==== Upload Config to Encoding Live ====
+\\
+Now that you have created some copies of the config from the primary Encoding Live server, you can upload each copy to your other Encoding Live servers.
+\\
+\\
+In this example I am using two servers, so only need to upload one file.
+\\
+\\
+Web browse to your second Encoding Live server.
+\\
+\\
+From the <color #ed1c24>Services page</color>, click <color #ed1c24>Import Service</color>.
+\\
+\\
+{{ :splitabrappliance012.jpg?1000 |}}
+\\
+Select the file you just edited and import it.
+\\
+\\
+The second Encoding Live Service page will now look identical to Encoding Live Server 1.
+\\
+\\
+{{ :splitabrappliance013.jpg?1000 |}}
+\\
+All we have to do now is to set the server allocation.
+\\
+\\
+----
+==== Allocate Servers ====
+\\
+The final part is to assign a server to each of the <color #ed1c24>Server Variants</color> (UHD/HD/SD) so that we force each Encoding Live server to only encode the profiles in their assigned Variant.
+\\
+\\
+{{ :splitabrappliance014.jpg?1000 |}}
+\\
+On the Primary Encoding Live, set the server (standalone is the standard name for an appliance) standalone in the top variant/sever (HD). Set the standalone server in the bottom SD variant/server.
+\\
+\\
+Now start the service on both Encoding Live server, and if all is well, you will have a Split ABR system with no errors.
