Startup Command File 38 Parameter Description /host=host:port Required The /host parameter is used to specify the PI Home node. Host is the IP address of the PI Server node or the domain name of the PI Server node. Port is the port number for TCP/IP communication. The port is always 5450. 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. Examples The interface is running on a interface node, the domain name of the PI 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 /outputflag=# Optional A value of 0 for this parameter disables PI output points. A value of 1 enables it. The default value is 1. /port=# Required Specifies the COM port of the Windows computer for communications to the Bailey CIU. Use a value of 1 for COM, a value of 2 for COM, and soon. /priCIU=# Required when -failover=2 Indicates the primary CIU node/PCU number. This parameter is required when the interface is running as the Secondary interface in a failover configuration. If this parameter is 0, the /priCIU parameter has no effect. /ps=x Optional Indicates the point source character of the PI points that the interface services. Each instance of the interface uses the /ps and /CIU# parameters to uniquely identify its particular list of points to service. The default value is Nb tsync Optional A positive value for this parameter synchronizes the Bailey time with the interface computer time. A value of 0 indicates no time synchronization. The default value is 0. /wdogidx=# Optional When two copies of the interface run in a failover configuration, they communicate with each other through a CIU index. This parameter specifies this watchdog CIU index. The default value is 1. If this parameter is 0, it has no effect.
