# Pairing the arrays & routing audio

## Module pairing

**Module Pairing** is the process of matching the arrays defined in **HOLOPLOT Plan** with the actual HOLOPLOT Audio Modules in the real world. This process is simplified with neighbor detection, which automatically detects and pairs all modules in the same array within a few seconds. This feature saves significant time, especially when dealing with large-scale venues. 

#### How to pair modules

1. On the navigation bar, click **Settings** › **Module Pairing**.
2. Select any module from the **Unpaired Modules** container. The LEDs on the real-world module will start blinking. Once it starts blinking, identify its position inside the real-world array.
3. In the **Paired Arrays and Modules** container, click the module that matches the actual position of the selected real-world module. Click **Pair Detected Array** to enable [Neighbor Detection](#user-content-fn-1)[^1] to pair the selected Module with all the modules in the same array.&#x20;
4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to pair the remaining arrays.
5. To unpair modules, find the array in the **Paired Arrays** container and select the **Unpair Selected Module** or **Unpair Array** buttons.

## Routing

You must handle the routing differently depending on the system's active AoIP setting. The link below explains the process and its differences.
