Additional Options

Additional command line arguments are available for a custom configuration. Please add the additional options always before the security key.

Allow all hosts

--allowAll

Allow connections from all IP addresses, not just from localhost. It is also possible to define the ENV variable NIMMSTA_ALLOW_ALL_HOSTS to true.

Auto Connect

--autoConnect

Automatically opens the Connection Activity. This is the same as not using this option and opening the Connection Activity manually after starting the program.

Websocket Port

--websocketPort <TCP-PORT>

Use a custom websocket port (default: 64693).

Port configuration

--portConfiguration <Com-PortName>
--portConfiguration <Com-PortName1>,<Com-PortName2>,NATIVE

Configures a list of communication ports to be used, use NATIVE for native interface (Windows only). For Linux, use path to com port. Be aware that the port name is case-sensitive and only ports also advertised by the system may be used.

DisableNative

--disableNative

Disable use of native bluetooth interface (Windows only). This option is useful to also disable automatic enablement of native BLE.

Static Connection Code

--staticConnectionCode <CODE>

Sets a static connection code. CODE has to be an alphanumeric string (6 characters), for example "ABCDEF". This option can be used if you always want to use the same connection code for a particular workstation / location.

To print the code, you need to prefix it with XXConnectHST50XX:, e.g. XXConnectHST50XX:ABCDEF. For a 5 character code, you need to use XXConnectHSD50XX:, e.g. XXConnectHSD50XX:ABCDE (not recommended, see warning).

Warning

Please use a 6 character code, because it will be discarded by the device after the device has shut down. If using a 5 character code, it will be remembered even after a restart. Since the connection code is saved on the device and only changes if you scan a new one (even after the device is shut down), you can use this option to automatically connect after the scanner is started without having to scan a new connection code each time.

Info

You can't use this option together with the --autoConnect option, since this would generate a new connection code.

Warning

Please keep in mind that if you scan the static connection code with multiple devices, one device will be connected randomly. It's also possible that you will connect to a new device will the old device is trying to reconnect.

Multi Device

--allowMulti

Tries to enable multi device for the instance.

Warning

Please be aware this increases the start time by several seconds. You can also use the SetConnectionManagerSettings action after starting the application.
