Description

/type:devicetype

The device type as determined by the Service Object supplier.

Example: /type:msr specifies a magnetic strip reader.

/soname:soname

The Service Object name from the Service Object supplier. Names containing spaces must be enclosed in double quotation marks (").

Example: /soname:"Super MSR" specifies a Service Object named Super MSR.

/path:hardware_path

The hardware path for the device.

Example: /path:COM2 specifies a location of COM2.

/name:devicename

The logical name for the device. This is useful when there are multiple instances of the Service Object, and also provides a way for an application to refer to a Service Object without hard coding. This name must be unique within devicetype. If a name contains a space, it must be contained within double quotation marks (" ").

Examples: /name:msr4 refers to a device with the logical name msr4, /name:"Main MSR" refers to a device with the logical name of Main MSR.
