 3. Copy the .tar files to a location on your network where they are available to each host where you plan to install {{ece}}. Alternatively, you can copy the .tar files to each host directly.
 4. On each host, load the images into Docker, replacing `FILE_PATH` with the correct path to the .tar files:
 
     ```sh subs=true

+To configure a self-managed cluster as a remote cluster, use the [cluster update settings API](https://www.elastic.co/docs/api/doc/elasticsearch/operation/operation-cluster-put-settings). Configure the following fields:
+
+* `mode`: `proxy`
+* `proxy_address`: Enter the endpoint of the remote self-managed cluster, including the hostname, FQDN, or IP address, and the port. Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported.
+
+  Make sure you use the correct port for your authentication method:
+  * **API keys**: Use the port configured in the remote cluster interface of the remote cluster (defaults to `9443`).  
+  * **TLS Certificates**: Use the {{es}} transport port (defaults to `9300`).
+
+  When using an IPv6 address, enclose it in square brackets followed by the port number. For example: `[2001:db8::1]:9443`.
+
+* `server_name`: Specify a value if the certificate presented by the remote cluster is signed for a different name than the proxy_address.
+
+This is an example of the API call to `_cluster/settings`:
