# Configure the Upstream Media Server

This section describes how to configure HPE Media Server to send records to another HPE Media Server for further processing.

To send records to another HPE Media Server

1. Create a new configuration to send to HPE Media Server with the `process` action, or open an existing configuration that you want to modify.

2. In the `[Output]` section, add a new output task by setting the `OutputEngineN` parameter. You can give the task any name, for example:

       [Output]
       OutputEngine0=FurtherProcessing

3. Below the `[Output]` section, create a new configuration section by typing the task name inside square brackets. For example:

       [FurtherProcessing]

4. In the new section, set the following parameters:

   `Type` | The output engine to use. Set this parameter to `Post`.
   `Input` | A comma-separated list of the tracks that you want to send to the downstream HPE Media Server. You can provide aliases to simplify the track names when you configure the downstream HPE Media Server. To do this specify the track names as `Alias:TaskName.TrackName`, where: `Alias` is the track name to present to the downstream HPE Media Server. `TaskName` is the name of the task that produced the track. `TrackName` is the name of the track.
   `Host` | The host name or IP address of the HPE Media Server to send records to.
   `Port` | The ACI port of the HPE Media Server to send records to.
   `ConfigName` | The name of the configuration file that the downstream HPE Media Server must use to continue processing the records (this file must be present in the folder specified by the `ConfigDirectory` configuration parameter on the downstream HPE Media Server).

   For example:

       [FurtherProcessing]
       Type=Post
       Input=FaceDetect.ResultWithSource
       // or using alias "DetectedFaces" for "FaceDetect.ResultWithSource":
       // Input=DetectedFaces:FaceDetect.ResultWithSource
       Host=gpu-mediaserver
       Port=14000
       ConfigName=DownstreamFaceRec

5. Save and close the configuration file. HPE recommends that you save your configuration files in the location specified by the `ConfigDirectory` parameter.
