JTAG to Avalon Master Bridge: PLI-Mode simulation with Modelsim and System-Console

Dear Forum,

I've set up a testbench / simulation model in QSYS of a small system consisting only of a "Clock Source" and a "JTAG to Avalon Master Bridge" named j2a. The generated testbench added the appropriate BFMs to all Interfaces except for JTAG. j2a is configured to run in PLI-simulation mode.

When I run modelsim, everything compiles fine. After that modelsim prints at the console, that it is waiting for a PLI client at 127.0.0.1 / Port 50000.

Questions:

How can I setup such a client?

I guess the system console should do the trick, how can I setup the system console to connect to modelsim?

Your help is much appreciated!
