The following switches can be used as arguments for POSDM commands.

Command Switch 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 (").

/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 an service object without hardcoding. 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.
