• The authentication is Windows^® authentication when you set authtype to 'OS_LOGON'.

• The application name is blank because you are not connecting to Bloomberg B-PIPE using an application.

• The IP address for the machine running the Bloomberg B-PIPE process is '111.11.11.112'.

• The port number of the machine running the Bloomberg B-PIPE process is 8194.

c is a bloombergBPIPE object.

authtype = 'OS_LOGON';
appname = '';
ipaddress = {'111.11.11.112'};
port = 8194;

c = bloombergBPIPE(authtype,appname,ipaddress,port);
