You also can import a list of I/O servers into ioAdmin.

information for each server:

System
Several operations are possible from the System menu.
Auto Scan Active Ethernet I/O Server will search for ioLogik servers on the network. When connecting for
the first time or recovering from a network disconnection, you can use this command to find I/O servers that
are on the network.
Network Interface allows you to select a network to use, if the PC has multiple network adapters installed.
I/O Status Refresh Rate is used to adjust how often the I/O server is polled for device status. The current
rate is displayed on the status bar at the bottom of the window. Note that higher sync rates result in higher
loads on the network.
TCP Socket Timeout Interval allows you to select the preferred timeout value for TCP socket
communication.
COM Port Setting is used to set the parameters for Modbus communication, such as baudrate, data bits, and
timeout interval. For most applications, this will involve connecting to ioLogik R-Series devices.
