# Changing the roles of the failover pair
<a name="aif-setup-inverting"></a>

When you set up for input failover in a MediaLive channel, you can reverse the roles of the two failover inputs, so that the primary input becomes the secondary input. 

**To reverse the roles of the inputs**

1. From the list of input attachments, choose the first input that you attached. 

1. In the **Automatic input failover settings** section, choose **Disable automatic input failover settings**.

1. Choose the second input and choose **Enable automatic input failover settings** for that input. The second input is now the primary input.
