The command line from the Windows command prompt, Start > Run > cmd, can be used to run PROXY Pro Master and manually perform any of the following tasks:
u Use commands to set up connections to specific Host computers.
u Use command line scripts to make connections to specific Host computers whose configuration is specified in a shortcut file (a file with a .PRX4 extension).
u Run a script to connect automatically to the remote Host computer with PROXY Pro Master preconfigured.
u Specify a PROXY Pro Host recording file, with a .PrxRec extension, to be played in a Playback Window.
The command line can also be used to manage configuration options, including the following:
u Specify the Host computer in terms of address, port, and protocol.
u Customize the title bar of the “Connection Window operation” that appears when you make a remote connection.
u Provide the name of the shortcut file for opening connections.
The syntax for using the command line is as follows.
proxy.exe [/option"values"][ ShortCutFile | RecordingFile ]
With this syntax, follow the command proxy.exe with a sequence of configuration option/value pairs (do not include brackets). Specify the option with a forward slash (‘/’) followed by one letter. If you specify a value that has a space or a special character, the value must be in quotes. Optionally, you can include the name of a shortcut file to specify all other configuration parameters for the connection. The shortcut file extension must be .PRX4. See “Command line options”. The following is an example of the PROXY Pro Master command line syntax.
proxy.exe /PUDP /S198.186.166.124 MyShortcut.prx4
If you have created and specified a shortcut file called MyShortcut.prx4, use this syntax to run MyShortcut.prx4 with its “Default Connection Window Settings”, and open a connection to a remote Host computer at 198.186.166.124, using the UDP/IP protocol and the standard port. All other configuration parameters are specified in the shortcut file.
