> # Configuring the SAE to Interact with the JPS

> You must configure the SAE as an application manager to allow it to interact with PCMM-compliant policy servers. The policy server acts as a policy decision point that manages the relationships between application managers and CMTS devices. Policy servers that manage the same group of CMTS devices are grouped together and are simultaneously active. The policy server group provides a way for the SAE to communicate with any CMTS device that is managed by a policy server in the policy server group. To provide redundancy, the SAEs are grouped in an SAE community that connects to a policy server group. Only one of the SAEs in the SAE community is active. The active SAE establishes connections to all the policy servers in the policy server group. The active SAE will fail over to a redundant SAE only when it loses the connection to all the policy servers in the policy server group. State synchronization enables the SAE to synchronize its state with all the CMTS devices connected to a policy server group.

> The tasks to configure the SAE as an application manager are:

> - Specifying Application Managers for the Policy Server
> - Specifying Application Manager Identifiers for Policy Servers
> - Adding Objects for Policy Servers to the Directory
> - Configuring Initialization Scripts
> - Enabling State Synchronization
