Configuring New Devices (WNT/2000/XP)
To add a new device use the following command syntax:
mtcfg port-name model
or
mtcfg port-name model settings
port-name is the name (virtual port) chosen for the new device. It must not be used by another
device in the system (MagTek or other). The port name in the form COMxxx (valid
values are COM5 .. COM255). MTCFG will verify that the name is not used by
other MagTek devices that were set up with this utility, but it will not check whether
the name is used by any other device in the system.
model
is the full name of the device model to be added. The name should be enclosed in
quotes if it contains spaces. Use "
mtcfg -models " to see a list of models. The
model names used by MTCFG are the ones specified in the [Models] section of the
MTD installation script (OEMSETUP.INF).
settings
specifies one or more device settings in the form name=value. The syntax for these
is identical to the syntax used when modifying the settings of an already installed
device. See the next section for a list of common settings. Specifying any settings
when adding a device is optional-they can always be specified later (see the next
section), but it is recommended to include at least those settings that are required for
the device to operate, e.g., UsePort for serial devices.
Configuration Examples for Windows NT/2000/XP
These examples are for illustration only. Most of the command line entries will have to be modified to
accommodate the actual installation.
