I did not test it but when you look into the documentation then just add the param "-api 127.0.0.1:1880" or if you do not want access local then "0.0.0.0:1880" or which ever network you have configured. "0.0.0.0" means all networks so there you have to take care more for security so that no other can access it. The port number after the ":" can be any but greater than 1000 if not already used.
