RTSP Proxy Kit User's Guide

# Running the RTSP Proxy

Use the following procedure to start the RTSP proxy listening on the default TCP port number, 554.

#### To start the RTSP proxy:

1. Go to the `ortspproxy_2_0\rtspproxy` directory.

2. At a command prompt, type one of the following commands:

- On Windows, type `rtspproxy.exe`

- On UNIX, type `rtspproxy`

## Command-Line Options

The `rtspproxy` command supports the four command-line options listed and described in the following table.

Option | Use it to
--- | ---
-p port | Run the proxy as a server bound to the specified TCP port (specified either by number or by name). The default port option is a compile-time option that currently defaults to port 554. Using the -h option, you can easily determine the default port for compiling.For example, to start the RTSP proxy running as a server bound to TCP port 556, you would use the following command: `rtspproxy -p 556`
-d | Start the proxy in debug mode. Information logged in debug mode includes proxy startup, shutdown, client address, server address and port, and any error messages. These messages are displayed in real time either on the console or in the command window in which the RTSP proxy is running.
-h | Print a list of valid command-line options and their descriptions.
-v | Print version information.
