7) Back on the TriCaster, Enter the RTMP and Stream ID information into their corresponding fields within the TriCaster's Streaming Configuration window. Click OK.

8) Initiate the "Stream" within the TriCaster software. The button should turn blue and the stream clock should start once the connection is established.
