Specifying the network protocol for clients

The MobiLink server uses the -x command line option to specify the network protocol or protocols for synchronization clients to connect to the MobiLink server. The network protocol you choose must match the synchronization protocol used by the client.

The syntax for the mlsrv11 command line option is:

mlsrv11 -c "connection-string" -x protocol( options )

In the following example, the TCP/IP protocol is selected with no additional protocol options.

mlsrv11 -c "dsn=SQL Anywhere 11 Demo" -x tcpip

You can configure your protocol using options of the form:

(keyword=value;...)

For example:

mlsrv11 -c "dsn=SQL Anywhere 11 Demo" -x tcpip(
   host=localhost;port=2439)
