ConferenceXP Command Line Parameters
You can start the ConferenceXP Client application from the Command Prompt window. By using one or more command parameters, you can also specify or change ConferenceXP configuration options. For example, in a single command, you can start ConferenceXP, join a venue, and start the ConferenceXP Presentation capability.
The name of venues and capabilities are case sensitive. For a venue or
capability name that includes a space, use quotation marks around the name.

Join a venue
- At the command prompt, type cxpclient -venue VenueName
where VenueName is the name of the venue you want to join.
Note The name of the venue is case sensitive. For a venue name that include spaces, use quotation marks around the name. For example, to join the Virtual Cubicle

(3.0)".

Start a capability
- At the command prompt, type cxpclient -venue VenueName -capability CapabilityName
where VenueName is the name of the venue you want to join and CapabilityName is the name of the capability you want to start. For example, to join the Northwestern
(3.0) venue and then start the Presentation capability, at the command prompt type
cxpclient -venue "Northwestern (3.0)" -capability Presentation.
Note The name of capabilities are case sensitive. For a capability
name that include spaces, use quotation marks around the name. For example, to
start the Classroom Presenter capability, type cxpclient -venue "Virtual Cubicle
(3.0)" -capability "Classroom Presenter".
Tip You can use the abbreviated -c instead of -capability.
Tip To reduce the startup time of ConferenceXP, which is helpful when you’re testing a new capability, you can also specify
-vs none to use no Venue Service, and instead use the default Local Venue. For example, to specify no Venue Service when you start a capability you’ve developed named MyNewCapability, at the command prompt type
cxpclient -vs none -c MyNewCapability.
Top
Specify a different Venue Service
- At the command prompt, type cxpclient -venueserver ServerName
where ServerName is the fully qualified domain name of the Venue Service
you want to use. For example, to use the Venue Service venues.conferencexp.net, at the command prompt type
cxpclient -venueserver venues.conferencexp.net.
Note By default, ConferenceXP uses the Venue Service specified in the Cxpclient.exe.config configuration file.
Tip You can use the abbreviated -vs instead of -venueserver.

Use no Venue Service
- At the command prompt, type cxpclient -venueserver none
Tip This command disables the remote Web service calls and reduces the startup time of ConferenceXP, which is helpful if you’re working with only local computers. By default, ConferenceXP uses the Venue Service specified in the Cxpclient.exe.config configuration file. When that Venue Service is unavailable, or no Venue Service is specified in the configuration file, ConferenceXP uses the default Local Venue.
Tip You can use the abbreviated -vs instead of -venueserver.

where x is the number of the video device you want to use.

x.x.x.x -port xxxx

xxxx is the port for the venue you want to use.
- To join a venue over unicast, do both of the following:

-port 5004.
