# Connecting FTL Channels to Applications

The initial configuration of a new FTL channel automatically includes a dynamic TCP transport for the channel's application-facing endpoint. You can extend that transport on the FTL side in either of these two ways.

(For background information, see Cluster-Facing and Application-Facing Endpoints.)

Procedure
1. Optional. Connect FTL Applications.

   You can connect an FTL channel to applications on the FTL side in either of two ways:

   Option | Description
   --- | ---
   Preferred | Share the dynamic TCP transport that implements the channel’s application-facing endpoint, so that it also implements the endpoint of the FTL application: In the eFTL cluster grid, locate the channel’s application-facing endpoint in the Transport Name column, and note its name. Each automatically generated name concatenates the prefix `eftl_channel_app_facing_transport_`, the cluster name, and the channel name. In the applications grid, locate the FTL application definition or application instance definition. Then locate the endpoint and select the transport you noted from the dropdown menu.
   Alternative | Add a transport from the FTL application to the channel’s application-facing endpoint: In the applications grid, locate the FTL application definition or application instance definition. Then locate the endpoint and note its transport name. In the eFTL cluster grid, locate the channel, and select Add Transport from the dropdown menu. In the Transport Name column of the new row, select the transport you noted from the dropdown menu.

   Important: Avoid crosstalk by ensuring that the FTL application does not share transports with more than one channel, nor with FTL applications on other channels. For more information, see Cluster-Facing and Application-Facing Endpoints.
