Format: LightwareDeviceController -i <IP_address>:<port>
Example: LightwareDeviceController -i 192.168.0.20:6107
Launching of LDC in a Run window in Windows operating system
The LDC is connected to a device with the indicated static IP address directly; the Device Discovery window is
not displayed. When the port number is not set, the default port is used: 10001 (LW2 protocol - not supported
by the UBEX extenders). For LW3 devices use the 6107 port number.
