6. Restart the service by going to the backup Command Server.

After your configuration is complete, you can confirm MOS redirection functionality.

You can test MOS redirection at any time; it does not require the primary server to be down.
To confirm MOS redirection functionality:
1. Make a rundown MOS Active and Ready to Air, confirming that it appears in the
Command Workstation.
2. Open the rundown’s Properties dialog box.
3. Deselect the MOS Control Active checkbox.
4. Click Apply.
5. In the MOS Redirection text box, enter the group name followed by an equal sign (=)
and the MOS ID for the backup server. The syntax is:
<group name>=<backup MOS
ID>
6. Select the MOS Control Active checkbox.
7. Click Apply and then Go.
8. Confirm that the rundown appears in the Command Workstation.
When you need to direct MOS traffic to the backup server, disconnect from the primary
server and connect to the backup server via MOS redirection in ENPS.
For instance, enter
avid=enps.command2.mos in the MOS Redirection field, then
check MOS Control Active, and click Go. The sample equation tells ENPS that any
device in the rundown starting with “avid” should get redirected to the MOS backup
system with the MOS ID of “enps.command2.mos”.

Avid recommends the MOS Redirection steps be posted in the control room so that users can
reference them quickly. It’s also recommended you do a MOS redirection periodically to
practice the steps.
