For native driver there is no way to specify the server list in the dialog box. In that case the driver is activated on all the stations defined in the multistation architecture.

In order to avoid error messages in the event viewer and to open unecessary socket on client station, one can do so by editing the COMM.dat file manually and specify the list either at:

• the network level: In that case all the equipments below the nework will be active on the station(s) that are included on the server list

Please note that this feature is not yet implemented at the equipment level.

For instance if the server list of your project is called LS_SERVERS then you must modify the COMM.DAT file as follow.
