# Configure ZPLS for Your Account

This section provides step-by-step instructions for configuring the ZPLS module for use within your account. After completing this section, you can expect to know how to assign a ZPLS module to a site for use, confirm its activity, and designate users for survivability through multiple levels of administration.

### Associate the ZPLS Module(s) with a Site

Once the ZPLS module is installed, it must be associated with a site before it can be used. However, this process will vary if deploying multiple ZPLS modules in a group for scaling or resiliency, or if deploying a single ZPLS module *without* scaling or resiliency. The following two sections define **Group Node** deployments and **Single Node** deployments.

To configure a site for scaling or redundancy, first complete all steps and sections within the [Deploying ZPLS](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yGwQJ00lISsWuz8zXRpEMEPFZa5Hp1VUxsoK07eoSrA/edit?pli=1#heading=h.wrba5u2ahyc) section for each module you are currently deploying. Once all modules are successfully installed and associated with the account, perform the following steps:
