+The address in the above example has been used for all announcers, each announcer uses a unique port.
+\\

+----
+==== Finding Announcer Address ====
+If you performed the installation, then great, you probably know the announcer address, however you could be working on a system you have never seen before, and need this announcer information.
+\\
+\\
+We can get this information from the Multiplexer, but the value for the statmuxAnnouncer is in one of the PODs. To access this, first we need to bring up the Kubernetes dashboard, this can be done from an SSH session using the following:
+    k9s
+This will launch the k9s application
+\\
+\\
+{{ :k9s001.jpg?nolink&800 |}}
+\\
+\\
+Scroll down and select the POD 'stream-processer-statmux-xxxxx' then press 's'
+\\
+\\
+{{ :k9s002.jpg?nolink&800 |}}
+\\
+\\
+Show the contents of the folder using 'ls' and look for smxMasterIni.json
+\\
+\\
+To find the announceAddress enter the following
+    cat smxMasterIni.json |grep announce
+You will get an output similar to below:
+<file>
+ "announceAddress": "239.225.0.1",
+  "announcePort": 15778,
+  "announce":{
+    "statmux.announce.port": 15778,
+    "statmux.announce.ttl": 64
+</file>
+To get out of the K9s use 'exit' then 'ctrl-c'
+----
+==== Using Announcer Address ====
+\\
+The last big difference in v7 is that now you have to specify the announcer address in your services using and 'advanced parameter' in the Encoding Live service.
+\\
+\\
+When creating the Encoding Live services for your stat mux, you need to add a parameter to the 'Advanced Parameters' page.
+\\
+\\
+{{ :statmux.announce.addr.jpg?nolink&900 |}}
+\\
+The advanced parameter is:
+    statmux.announce.addr    multicast
+    statmux.announce.addr    239.255.0.1
+\\
+The above is just an example, you will need to use the multicast address from your system.
