#### This computer (primary) drives all arms

The 'This computer (primary) drives all arms' option allows the computer to be the main computer that drives all the arms. You can choose to connect the computer to the other arms using either a Direct Connection or a Remote Connection.

If you choose the Remote Connection option, you will need to fill out the available fields to establish the connection:

1. Select the arm from the Connection Settings for Arm list.

2. Type the IP address in the Remote Connection box.

3. Type the IP address's port number in the TPC/IP Port box.

4. Type the data port number in the Data Part box.

5. Specify the TCPIP connection delay in the Delay for TCPIP connection in milliseconds box. This value is the number of milliseconds that PC-DMIS will delay before attempting a TCPIP connection to the specified arm from the current computer.
