Satellites Tab

Enabling a Satellite as a Server allows the satellite to run connection tests from the browser, so it's a very powerful feature.

The first step is to go to the Satellites list in MCS by clicking on the Satellites tab. This will view all the Satellites.

Select Satellite(s)

Locate the Satellite that needs to be enabled and check the box next to its name. Then click the Advanced link at the top of the list.

Server Status

The Server Status should now have changed to Enabled. Satellites check-in with the server every couple of minutes so there will be a slight delay in the new status being picked up. Once it does a browser test should appear when browsing to the satellite. The admin menu can still be accessed by going to /myspeed/admin (https://yoursatellite.com/myspeed/admin)
