   Configuring CAP Endpoints for Your Broadcast Syste

   Using the CAP URL, Username, and Password you just copied, navigate to your broadcasting system's   console to complete the connection between OMS and your broadcasting system. This typically involves creating a new configuration.
   Once the connection is successfully established, broadcasts triggered from your existing system will be delivered to the assigned devices configured through OMS's CAP Messaging feature.
