Should work like this:

param(
       $vkn,
       $port=4444,
       $server="192.168.1.5"
)

function signtest(){
    $client = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient $server, $port
    $stream = $client.GetStream()
    $writer = New-Object System.IO.StreamWriter $stream
    $writer.AutoFlush = $TRUE
    $writer.WriteLine("Efat SIGNTEST " + $vkn)

    $reader = New-Object System.IO.StreamReader $stream
    $line = $reader.ReadLine()

    $reader.Dispose()
    $writer.Dispose()
    $stream.Dispose()

    If($line.equals("OK")){
     write-host "0:$($line)" -foregroundcolor cyan; exit 0; }
    Else {
     write-host "0:$($line)" -foregroundcolor red; exit 2; }
}

signtest;

Parameter field for the sensor has to look like this: -VKN "your vkn variable" -Port "1234" -Server "192.168.1.5"

Note that I've added the proper exit codes to the script, otherwise PRTG wouldn't know what result has to be considered ok or error :) If it doesn't work, please provide a sample output of the script. Thanks!

To receive parameters from command line in your PS script, you have to declare them as parameters at the beginning of the script first.

param (
  $vkn,
  $port=4444,
  $server="SERVER_IP_ADDRESS"
)

For more information see for example https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/jj554301.aspx

Hope I understood your question right.

This is our code;

    $line = $reader.ReadLine()

    If($line.equals("OK")){

    Else {
write-host $line -fore red }

    $reader.Dispose()
    $writer.Dispose()
