Arcady Executable is the location of the ARCADY program file. By default it is set to (Auto Detect) meaning that AutoCAD Civil 3D looks for the latest version of ARCADY on your computer. If ARCADY is installed on your computer and AutoCAD Civil 3D fails to find it, or you wish to force the use of a particular version, then you should enter the full path here. Use the Browse button if possible to avoid typing errors. If you later need to revert to auto-detection then simply delete the path.

The Server IP Address should never require a change. The current versions of AutoCAD Civil 3D and ARCADY communicate on port 9050.

If the network connection fails, AutoCAD Civil 3D will try to reconnect after the Connect Retry Interval has elapsed. The default value is equivalent to 5 seconds.

The read-only fields Link Status, Connected, and Last Exchange provide diagnostic information about the link once it has been established.
