* Shoutcast requires AutoDJ to be enabled in order to use the DJ Manager. Icecast is able to use the DJ manager without AutoDJ but will be limited in features such as DJ Priority and Scheduled access. The DJ manager is best utilized by using AutoDJ.

Configure your encoder as described in the How to connect section of the panel.
If you have enabled scheduled access only on a DJ account, the account will only be able to connect when they are schedule using the Scheduling Calander
From the Scheduling Calander you can also set the Automatic Disconnect option to kick the DJ when the event ends.
It is possible to prioritize DJ connections to your streaming server. When a DJ priority is configured, the DJ with the highest priority will go on air.
This feature requires Liquidsoap AutoDJ to be enabled on the service.
DJ Priority will only work if the DJ is connected to their specific Mount Point with an Icecast 2 compatible encoder.
If a DJ connects to the server with a higher priority then their stream will play instead of yours.
It should also be noted that you will not be disconnected, only your stream will not be used.
