Default iMPACT command for selecting remote host running CableServer?

In the Xilinx EDK tool flow it is possible to synthesize a design and
automatically program it into your FPGA using iMPACT. Therefore, a
standard iMPACT command file is generated, which typically looks like:

setMode -bscan
setCable -p auto
identify
assignfile -p 3 -file implementation/download.bit
program -p 3
quit

This works fine as long as the programming cable is connected to the
local system. In case the cable can not be found by iMPACT, its user
interface is opened and an error is displayed.
However, in our situation we are doing the synthesis and par flow on a
dedicated remote server. The FPGA is connected to my desktop pc with a
Xilinx USB platform cable. Furthermore, I am running the Xilinx
CableServer such that a remote pc can use my desktop system for
programming the FPGA.
Obviously, I would like to change the generated iMPACT command file
(as shown above) such that the tool is told to use my desktop pc as a
remote host. This is possible when the iMPACT gui is executed (via
menu Output -> Cable Setup -> Cable Location: Remote, hostname), but
iMPACT does not show any command in the Output window (as it does when
you change basically any other option).
iMPACT's reference manuals do not mention such a command; however,
they do mention the possibility to program via a remote host which is
running the CableServer.
Does such a command exist?
