Using the installation program, the AVG TCP Server has been installed to the network computer called 

NETWORKSRV. After installation, no changes were carried out in the configuration file, and all settings are 

default. The AVG clients will connect to the AVG DataCenter by setting the remote administration 

connection string in the form of: 

http://NETWORKSRV:4156?dbq

. No other configuration is required; the 

network administration has been activated by this link. 

If the AVG client has already been installed to a workstation, but is not connected to the AVG DataCenter 

(e.g. because the AVG DataCenter connection string has changed), it is possible to change the 

communication string using the AVGW program with the /CONNECT parameter set in the command 

prompt. 

If you define this parameter, the AVGW program will only set the new connection value, and quit. Due to 

this function the administrator can reconnect all AVG clients to the new AVG DataCenter by including the 

following command into the login script: 

AVGW /CONNECT="" 

where  

 is the string defining the connection. The string is in the same form as the connection 

string set up interactively through the AVG Control Center. This string must always be inserted into 

quotation marks! 

Applicable command examples: 

AVGW /CONNECT= http://server.firma.cz:4156?dbq   

AVGW /CONNECT= http://192.168.1.123:4156?dbq   

AVGW /CONNECT= http://NETWORKSRV?dbq  

6.8 AVG TCP Server Command Line Parameters 

If you need some advanced diagnostics, it is also possible to launch AVG TCP Server in an interactive 

mode (not as an operating system service). In this mode, you can use command line parameters for 

additional configuration settings. It is also the only accessible mode for Windows 9x/Me operating 

systems. 

Command line parameters are denoted by `/' or ` ' character. When a value is part of a parameter, it is 

typed right behind the parameter specification; space then acts as a separator. The available parameters 

are as follows: 

install   

service installation (WinNT4/2k/XP Professional only) 

remove 

service uninstallation (WinNT4/2k/XP Professional only) 

stop 

service shutdown (WinNT4/2k/XP Professional only) 

ini  

absolute path to configuration file. File AVGTCPSV.INI in AVG TCP Server's 

program folder is used by default 

interactive 

AVG TCP Server execution in interactive mode (not as an OS service). In the 

Win9x/Me environment this is the default mode of execution. 

verbose 

detailed output messages (makes sense only for the interactive mode) 

Examples: 

AVGTCPSv /ini c:\avg7DataCenter\avgtcpsv.ini 

AVGTCPSv  interactive  verbose 

AVGTCPSv  install
