The command line from the Windows command prompt, Start > Run > cmd, can be used to run PC-Duo 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 PC-Duo Master preconfigured.
u Specify a PC-Duo 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 PC-Duo 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.
