Hi! I'm trying to set-up an XS as a backup server for XO's. I've been through the wiki and the first step to do this states that I need to "register the XO in the XS". Could anyone tell me how to accomplish this? I've looked around and still haven't found a way to do this. Any help will be apprecia
