• Suppress writing I/O Timeout to tags upon reestablishment of a lost
connection to the source PI Server
When setting Location3 to write I/O Timeout for any tags, enable this setting to suppress
the I/O Timeout state that is normally written to tags when the interface reconnects to the
PI Data Archive. If this parameter is not set, the I/O Timeout state that is written at reconnection prevents history from being recovered for the period of disconnection. (/TS)

one source server fails, the interface can collect data from the other.
