Modifying a Device Driver's Settings (WNT/2000/XP)

Use the following syntax to change settings of a device:

mtcfg <port-name> <setting1> [<setting2> [<setting3>...]]

each of the settings is specified as name=value

if value contains spaces, the whole name=value string should be enclosed in quotes (not just the value), e.g., to specify the string “MT-85 on COM1” as the friendly name for COM5 with a baud rate of 9600 bps, use the following syntax:

mtcfg COM5 ”FriendlyName=MT-85 on COM1” baud=9600

Following is a list of common settings that can be changed for a device. Most settings have a default value and may be missing when the list of settings is requested for a device (e.g., by typing “MTCFG COM5”).

Name	Use
baud	(optional, used for serial devices only) device’s baud rate, specified as
	an integer (e.g., 9600)
parity	(optional, used for serial devices only) an integer specifying the parity
	used by the device: use -1, 0, 1, 2, or 3 for None, Even, Odd, Space
	and Mark parity respectively.
datasize	(optional, used for serial devices only) specifies the device’s serial
	word size in bits: 7 or 8.
stopbits	(optional, used for serial devices only) stop bits to use on
	transmission: 1 or 2.
UsePort	the serial port to which the device is connected. Must specify a valid
	standard serial port (or a port that is 100% compatible with a standard
	serial port).
FriendlyName	(optional) alternative name for the device. If specified, the device may
	be opened from user mode using this name (the prefix \\.\ must be
	added to the name. For example if FriendlyName=Port-powered swipe
	reader, this device can be opened as “\\.\Port-powered swipe reader”)
EnableFDP	(optional) Enable Flexible Data Parsing. Set this to 1 to enable data
	parsing and to 0 to disable data parsing.
PortName	Specifies the port name under which the device is visible to user-mode
	applications. Modifying this setting also changes the name used to
	refer to this device when using the MTCFG utility, e.g., if
	mtcfg COM5 PortName=COM8
	is executed, the device that was COM5, must be referred to as COM8
	in any subsequent invocations of MTCFG. This setting is treated
	specially by MTCFG−it will validate the port name and make sure that
	it is not used by other MagTek devices before making the change.

Device settings other than the ones listed above should not be modified without carefully reviewing the driver’s engineering documentation for the specific device model.
