Feeding To FlighAware From FR24 Using Mode-S Beast USB

Greetings. I am new to ADSB feeding. Currently I am feeding to FR24, using a USB Mode-S Beast.

Without any knowledge on how-to, would be appreciate if anyone could provide me step by step setup instructions in order to feed to FlightAware as well.

Thank you all in advance.

Suggest switching to beast-splitter/ modesmixer and it’s outputs

Then reconfigure for tcp sources.
