The /id parameter is used to specify the interface identifier.
The interface identifier is a string that is no longer than 9 characters in length. UniInt concatenates this string to the header that is used to identify error messages as belonging to a particular interface. See the section called “Error and Informational Messages” for more information.
UniInt always uses the /id parameter in the fashion described above. This interface also uses the /id parameter to identify a particular interface copy number that corresponds to an integer value that is assigned to Location1. For this case, one must use only numeric characters in the identifier. For example,
/id=1
/host=host:port Required
The /hostparameter is used to specify the PI Home node. Hostis the IP address of the PI Sever node or the domain name of the PI Server node. Port is the port number for TCP/IP communication. The port is always 5450 for a PI 3 Server. It is recommended to explicitly define the host and port on the command line with the /host parameter. Nevertheless, if either the host or port is not specified, the interface will attempt to use defaults.
Defaults:
The default port name and server name is specified in the pilogin.ini or piclient.ini file. The piclient.inifile is ignored if a pilogin.ini file is found. Refer to the PI API manual for more information on the piclient.ini and pilogin.ini files.
Examples:
The interface is running on a PI Interface Node, the domain name of the PI 3 home node is Marvin, and the IP address of Marvin is 206.79.198.30. Valid /host parameters would be:
/host=marvin
/host=marvin:5450
/host=206.79.198.30
/host=206.79.198.30:5450
/hncc Optional
This option must be specified if connecting to an HNCC as opposed to an ICI03.
Default, not defined.
