# Transferring a Link device to another Region
<a name="device-transfer-region"></a>

You can transfer a device to a different AWS Region. (If instead you want to transfer the device to a different Availability Zone in the existing Region, see [Configuring a Link device](device-edit.md).)

1. Open the MediaLive console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/medialive/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/medialive/).

1. In the navigation pane, choose **Input devices**. Find the card for the Link that you want to transfer, and choose the hyperlink.

1. On the **Device details** page for the device, choose **Other device actions** then **Transfer device**. 

1. On the **Transfer input device** dialog, choose **Transfer to another AWS Region**, and enter the Region. Then choose **Transfer**. The transfer occurs immediately. There is no need to confirm the transfer.

1. To locate the moved device, switch to the target Region. Choose **Input devices** in the left navigation pane. The devices that you have access to appear. 

   You should [review the configuration](device-edit.md) because any customizations (such as the Availability Zone) are deleted during the transfer.
