By clicking on the settings icon at the top right of the Z1 Server screen you can access the settings dialog. The options within the Network tab are explained here.



These options determine which sims the Z1 Server will attempt to connect to. If you are only using a few sims then unchecking the ones which are not used will result in a faster connection time when starting your sim.

Note: for Project Cars or Automobilista 2 you should make the appropriate selection under the 'Madness Engine' drop down.

Note: for Codemasters F1 sims and Dirt Rally 2 you should make the appropriate selection under the 'Codemasters' drop down.

Using F1 sims with multiple connections. If you want multiple software applicatons to receive data from the Codemasters F1 sims then you need to run them in 'broadcast mode'. This is set from within the sim. You then also need to tell the Z1 Dashboard that you are using broadcast mode. So in this case select the 'BC' option from the drop down, for example 'F1 22 BC'.



Codemasters IP:
This is the IP address that the Codemasters sim is broadcasting on. If this doesn't match the IP address from Codemasters then the Z1 Server will not be able to connect to that sim.

Codemasters Port:
This is the port number that the Codemasters sim is broadcasting on. If this doesn't match the port from Codemasters then the Z1 Server will not be able to connect to that sim.

Codemasters Name:
This is the driver name you want to have displayed when you are running a Codemasters sim. The Codemasters sims do not include the name of the driver in the API data feed. So if you leave this field blank then the driver name displayed with a Codemasters sim will either be 'Driver' or the name of the F1 driver whose car you are driving.

Codemasters Timeout:
Codemasters turns off telemetry when you pause or exit the sim. Since there is no way for the Z1 Server to know if the sim is just paused or has exited, it will wait for the number of seconds specified here for the sim to resume. If it does not resume within that time frame then the Z1 Server will assume the sim has exited.
