The remote control can be achieved also by these command line parameters, but more efficient way is to use special tool pg4uwcmd.exe, which has many advantages. The main advantage is size of the PG4UWCMD, which result the calling of PG4UWCMD results a much faster response than calling of PG4UW directly.
