Appendix B. Advanced Command Line Option Switches

Appendix B.1. Connecting to a FieldServer using IP Address -i

Specify the IP address using the -iswitch.

RuiNet –i192.168.0.45

RuiNet will only connect to the FieldServer with IP address 192.168.0.45

Appendix B.2. Connecting to a FieldServer using Name -y

Specify a FieldServer’s name with the -yswitch

RuiNet –yModbus_Test

RuiNet will connect to the FieldServer with the specified name.

Appendix B.3. Broadcast Mode -ib

RuiNet can be used in broadcast mode to poll all IP addresses on a network. This feature is not recommended under normal operating conditions and should only be used when there is just one FieldServer on the network.

RuiNet will use broadcasting to connect to a FieldServer.

Appendix B.4. The Most Recently Connected FieldServer -p

The most recently connected to FieldServer will be shown on top of the list of “Recently connected to FieldServers” on the RuiNet list of FieldServers screen. This command line switch is useful in batch files.

RuiNet will connect to the FieldServer it connected to previously.

Sample batch file:

RuiNet –zdefault.htm –m0 RuiNet –p –zzone1.htm RuiNet –p –zzone2.htm RuiNet –p –zzone3.htm RuiNet –p –zzone4.htm
