6.5.3 Parameter
devaddr
This is the device address.
devtype
This is the device type. Valid card reader types are 1442, 2501, 3505.
filename
The name (and optionally the path) of the card reader file.
SOCKDEV
Indicates that the card reader is a socket device, wherein the filename is actually a
socket specification instead of a device filename. When used, there must be only
one filename specified in the form “port”, “host:port” or “sockpath/sockname”. The
device then accepts remote connections on the given TCP/IP port or Unix domain
socket and reads data from the socket instead from a device file. This allows auto-
matic remote submission of card reader data.
