# Creating a 1+1 Group

> **Applies to:** Tmedia 3.0, 3.2, 3.3

A 1+1 group identifies the two Tmedia hardware devices operating together to provide 1+1 backup protection. One device is identified as the primary hardware device, while the other device is identified as the backup hardware device. To create a 1+1 group, use the Tmedia [Web Portal](https://github.com/telcobridges-main/tmedia-wiki/tree/main/tmedia/configuration/web-portal/README.md).

**To create a 1+1 group:**

1- Click **1+1** in the navigation panel

2- Click **Create New 1+1 Group**

![Create1and1Group 1 B](https://docs.telcobridges.com/w/images/9/98/Create1and1Group_1_B.png)

3- Enter the serial numbers of the primary and 1+1 backup hardware devices.

* Provide a name for the 1+1 group.
* Select the **serial number** of the primary hardware device. (This field may already be filled.)
* Select the **serial number** of the 1+1 backup hardware device.
* Set **Auto switch-back** to cause an automatic switch back to the original primary hardware device when it becomes available. If the field is clear (not checked), then a switch back to the original device will occur only after a manual reboot of the system.
* Click **Create**

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/tmedia-documentation/configuration/creating-a-1-1-group.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
