This section describes the network protocol options you can use when connecting a MobiLink client to the MobiLink server. Several MobiLink client utilities use the MobiLink client network protocol options:
To use client network protocol options with... | See... |
---|---|
dbmlsync | CommunicationAddress (adr) extended option |
MobiLink file transfer utility | MobiLink file transfer utility [mlfiletransfer] |
MobiLink Listener | -x in Listener syntax |
MobiLink Monitor | Starting the MobiLink Monitor |
QAnywhere Agent | -x option |
Redirector | ML directive in Configuring Redirector properties (for Redirectors that support server groups) or Configuring Redirector properties (for Redirectors that don't support server groups) |
UltraLite | Stream Parameters synchronization parameter |
The network protocol you choose must match the synchronization protocol used by the client. For information about how to set connection options for the MobiLink server, see -x option.
TCP/IP protocol options If you specify the tcpip protocol, you can optionally specify the following protocol options:

HTTPS protocol The HTTPS protocol uses RSA encryption.
Separately licensed component requiredECC encryption and FIPS-certified encryption require a separate license. All strong encryption technologies are subject to export regulations. |
If you specify the HTTPS protocol, you can optionally specify the following protocol options:
