Connect or switch to a specific member

When you connect to a PI AF collective, PI AF automatically connects you to the collective member with the highest priority (lowest number). However, you can use the Switch Collective Member option to select the next collective member based on its assigned priority, or the Connect to Collective Member option to select a specific member of the collective.

1. To connect to a specific collective member, choose one of the following actions:

   To select a collective member in ...	Do this ...
   AF Collective Manager	Right-click a collective member and click Connect to Collective Member.
   PI System Explorer	Select File > Connections. In the Servers window, right-click a collective member and click Connect to Collective Member.

2. In the Choose Collective Member window, select the collective member to which you want to connect from the Collective Member list.

3. Click OK.

   You are now connected to the selected collective member.
