Applies to Models: Wisenet Wave
Summary:
Launching the Desktop client with the CLI gives you a lot of flexibility. The CLI allows you to launch the Desktop client normally without any changes but you can also change its behavior by utilizing specific parameters. It can facilitate and automate many tasks such as server auto-login, disabling auto-updates, creating multiple instances of the client, restricting options, and more.
Step By Step Guide:
1. Open Command Prompt
2. Enter: "C:\Program Files\Hanwha\Wisenet WAVE\MediaServer\build_info.txt"
3. Take note of the version number which appears on the first line (e.g., 4.2.0.32841)
4. In Command Prompt enter (replacing the version number below with the version from the build_info.txt):
dir C:\* /S /B | findstr "\\4.2.0.32841$ (file://4.2.0.32841%24/)" | clip
5. The resulting directory has been automatically copied to your clipboard. Navigate to it by entering:
cd (Replace this text with what is now in your clipboard. Remove the parentheses.)
NOTE: Parameters are optional, delete it or replace the example with one from the chart below
6. To launch the client enter: " Wisenet WAVE.exe " --parameter
