# Enabling

An EMS server is part of exactly one FTL realm, so all EMS transports for TIBCO FTL use the same TIBCO FTL realm. Thus, some parameters are shared for every EMS transport instance. These parameters are found in `tibemsd.conf`.

To enable EMS transports for TIBCO FTL, you must set these parameters in the configuration file `tibemsd.conf`:

- `tibftl_transports` globally enables or disables message exchange with TIBCO FTL. The default value is `disabled`. To use EMS transports for TIBCO FTL, you must explicitly set this parameter to `enabled`.
- `ftl_url` specifies the URL at which the EMS server should connect to the realm service.
- `module_path` specifies the location of the TIBCO FTL shared library files.
- Additional optional parameters can be used to further configure how the EMS server and FTL realm service interact. See TIBCO FTL Transport Parameters.
