8. Make sure it says the station call letters you want, FM (or AM for WAKR) and DS in the format listed above.
9. This is the correct setting for the Device Servers Settings tab:

10. Open the Schedulers tab and click the “Add” button.
11. When adding a scheduler, you’ll need to make sure the following settings are entered:

12. You’ll need to make sure the correct Airlog Path is selected. Path should look similar to Ilcs-akron\logs\STATIONCALLLETTERSWIRLOGS
13. Click OK.
14. This is the correct setting for the Schedulers Settings tab:

15. Click Launch.
16. Open the Menu option at the bottom left of the Wide Orbit Screen and select Configure Widgets.

23. Hit “Apply” at the bottom left corner of the Wide Orbit screen.
24. Make sure you see the correct date listed, which it should grab due to configuring the stack widget just before this.
25. Try to time it up as close as you can with what’s playing live on the air, and put it in “Automatic” mode.
26. Make sure the board is correct and you can hear the music. You may need to pot up the Wide Orbit outputs.
27. Go into the Engineering office and at the bottom of the second rack, you should see a switcher that has each station on one side and Prod C on the other. Push the Prod C button for the station in question when you’re ready to switch over. As Seen Below:

28. As long as you’re hearing audio on the air, you have been switched. (This is the point where
    IT/Engineering or the user can reboot or do whatever needs done in order to fix the Studio PC)

**Note: The affected station can run from Prod C’s setup for as long as it needs to (days, weeks, months) and has all the regular stuff that the on-air studios have in place to run properly, including mics.

How to Move an On Air Station from Prod C to the Home Studio

1. When the work on the main studio PC is completed, make sure Wide Orbit is up and running in “Automatic” mode on the Studio Wide Orbit PC.
2. Double-check the board is still correct and you can hear the music again.
3. Go into the Engineering office and at the bottom of the second rack, you should see a switcher that has each station on one side and Prod C on the other. Push the button for the station in question when you’re ready to switch over.
4. As long as you’re hearing audio on the air, you have been switched.
5. Go into Production Studio C and put it on manual and then the hotkey can be removed the same way it was added (steps above – remove widgets and things on the launch screen).
6. Now the Prod C studio is back to a Production studio and all is well.
