Command Line Configuration
The command line from the Windows command prompt, Start > Run > cmd, can be used
to run the Master and manually perform any of the following tasks:
 Use commands to set up connections to specific Host computers.
 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).
 Run a script to connect automatically to the remote Host computer with the Master
preconfigured.
 Specify a 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:
 Specify the Host computer in terms of address, port, and protocol.
 Customize the title bar of the “Connection Window operation” that appears when you
make a remote connection.
 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 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.
