Section 3. Installation

Adding a Device Instance from Command Line – RS-232

Use the following command to add a new device instance:

mcpcfg a <name> Port.Name=<port> [Transport=<xpt> [<more settings>]]

where:

<name> is a name chosen for the new device instance. This name must contain

only characters that are valid for a file name and should have no ‘\’

characters. The name must be unique, i.e.; no other MCP device should be

using it. The new device will be visible under this name to applications

using the MCP API.

<port> specifies the connection port to which the device is attached. It should

specify a valid serial port. If the port name is not one of the pre-defined

system port names (COM1..COM4), a Transport setting must also be

specified (see below). If one of the standard names is used, MCPCFG will

automatically assign the transport type (“Serial” for COMx)

<xpt> specifies the transport type to be used for the device. This setting is

optional if a standard connection port is used. If specified, it should be

“Serial”.

<more settings> other device settings may be specified at the time the device instance is

created. Any number of additional settings may be specified. The syntax

for these is the same as for the mcpcfg s command (see below). If other

device settings are not specified, the default property values will be used.

These defaults are listed in the properties sections.

For Windows NT Administrator privilege is required to execute this command.

Example:

mcpcfg a IntelliStripe Port.Name=COM1

The informational and diagnostic messages displayed by this command can be suppressed by

using the “quiet” version:

mcpcfg aq <name> ...

Adding a Device Instance from Command Line – USB

Device Instances are automatically added. If the device has a serial number, the instance name is

DeviceName.SerialNumber.
