Command line options
Command line options can be used to customize your remote connection configuration.
All command line options consist of a one-letter option specification, preceded by a
forward slash („/‟). Follow each command immediately by a command value surrounded
by double quotes, with no space between the one-letter command and its value. If you do
not have any special characters such as blank spaces in your option values, you do not
have to use quotes.
Command options are not case-sensitive; for example, /W and /w are the same
command.
The command options are as follows:
 /H opens a custom remote Host computer connection, but hides the Master console
window when you open it. Note that /H does not hide any instances of the Master that
are already open.
 /M starts a new instance of the Master, even if one is already open and running.
 /P specifies the network protocol and nonstandard listening port required by your
remote Host computer.
 /S specifies Host information. For a peer-to-peer connection, use this command to
specify the Host computer name or network address in the syntax required by the
protocol you choose. For remote connections through a Gateway, use the Gateway
syntax of this command to specify your Host computer key. See “Connection tab”.
 /G specifies the Gateway to connect to for a remote connection. With this option, you
must also use the Gateway syntax for /S to specify a Host computer key associated with
a Host computer. The specified Gateway must be configured to manage the specified
Host computer.
 /U specifies a user name that your remote Host computer or Gateway requires. You
must configure Host on your remote Host computer to accept this user name (and
corresponding password).
 /V specifies a DNS name or IP address of a VNC server to connect to for a remote
connection.
 /W specifies a title other than the default for the “Master Connection window”.
 /X provide a password for your remote connection.
 <recordingfile.prxrec> specifies a local screen recording file to be played
 <http://webserver:port/recordingfile.prxrec> specifies a screen
recording file located at a webserver to be played over HTTP (or HTTPS).
If you do not specify one or more of these connection options in a command line, the
Master relies on the connection values in the current the Master console window, or the
default configuration values if you have not yet configured the product.
