Connect to a host

Connect to a host

To connect to a host you may use this parameter.

Every time you want to see or change settings on a local/remote device, you need to connect to it.
You could use the localhost address (127.0.0.1) to control a device connected to the same computer running DISPLAX Service, or the IP address of a computer on the same network, followed by a device parameter.

For example, if you want to list the devices on localhost:

$ displaxservice -a 127.0.0.1 -1

If you want to list the devices connected to a computer on the same network:

$ displaxservice -a 192.168.1.50 -1
