Monitor one commandline switches

Monitor one can be started with various commandline switches. The commandline switches can be entered by right-clicking the Monitor one icon on the desktop and choosing Properties. You can append your commandline switches at the end of the string in the Target box ("C:\Program Files\FineConnection\Monitor one\Monitor1.exe"). Do not forget to use double quotes for parameters that contain spaces! See the example below:

"C:\Program Files\FineConnection\Monitor one\Monitor1.exe" /MAP=MyProject.amd /DESKTOP=SalesDepartment /DEFAULTSRCUDPPORT=2000

Monitor one supports the following commandline switches:

/MAP=<Projectname.amd>
Automatically opens the specifile project.
/DESKTOP=<Desktop name>
Automatically opens the specified desktop after the project has been loaded.
/SNMPDELAY
This switch introduces a delay in consecutive GET-NEXT SNMP requests. It can be useful in order to reduce bandwidth usage when monitoring devices over slow lines. Be aware that this switch slightly affects the performance of your Monitor one system!
/USESHORTREQUESTS
Limits the maximum number of requested OID fields in one SNMP request PDU to 10. The default maximum is 18. This switch can be useful if you cannot retrieve SNMP data from devices because of SNMP "too big" errors.
/NOAUTODETERMINESNMPVERSION
By default, Monitor one automatically tries to determine the supported SNMP version for a Class of devices. If a mismatch is found (the version specified at the Class level differs from the actual supported version), the Class level version is updated in the database and a message is shown on screen. Devices that support both SNMP version (SNMPv1 & SNMPv2) can cause unwanted toggling. The /NOAUTODETERMINESNMPVERSION switch can be used to switch off this Monitor one option.
/DEFAULTSRCUDPPORT=<1..65535 | none>
By default, Monitor one uses UDP port 6115 as the source port in SNMP requests. The default port can be specified on the commandline.
