Command-Line Parameters

When TCP/IP Serial Ports Server is running as stand-alone process, use command-line parameters to configure its options. The server supports the following options:

psip_server.exe [OPTIONS] <SHARED-PORTS>

Where <SHARED-PORTS> is encoded according to basic or advanced syntax:

Basic Syntax

COMn1=TCP-PORT[,protocol] [COMn2=TCP-PORT[,protocol]]...

COMn=<port>[,protocol] arguments are mandatory. They specify which serial ports are shared over which TCP ports. protocol, if specified, must be either rfc2217 or raw. If protocol is omitted, rfc2217 is assumed.

Example:

psip_server.exe COM5=11111 COM6=22222,raw

Advanced Syntax

com=n,tcp=n[,comma-separated optional arguments]

Supported optional arguments:
