3 For HCO Control Enable, select Enable to allow the HCO device to automatically
perform a failover to the backup card in the case of a failure on the main card. If you
want to disable HCO Control, select Disable.
4 In the Communication Interface list, click the location of the HCO device:
• Network: select if the HCO device is installed in a Densité frame elsewhere in the
network.
• Densité Control: select if the HCO device is installed in the same Densité frame as
the SSP-3801 cards are installed.
5 In the SSP Output To list, click the HCO input to which the card is wired.
6 In the HCO Slot list, click the slot number in the Densité frame where the HCO device is
installed.
7 If Network was selected, enter the IP address and port where the HCO device is
installed:
• In the Densité Controller IP field, type the Densité Controller’s IP address.
• In the Densité Controller Port field, type the port number used by the Densité
Controller to communicate with the cards.
8 Click Save.
To verify if you have selected the correct input, the correct Role should appear in the
header when the input you selected matches the physical HCO input connected to the
card.

Note: Only the first and second inputs are supported on HCO devices that
offer three inputs. If the HCO device switches to an input other than the
supported inputs (by using iControl or the front panel menu), both SSP-3801
cards will report their roles as Backup and could potentially cause an off-air
situation.
