The list displayed contains all properties that can be set for a device instance, whether or not they
have been explicitly set by the operator. The values of the properties that have not been explicitly
set are displayed as <default>. This means that the driver will use its built-in default value for
these properties. Since the actual default values are not known to MCPCFG, it could not display
them. Refer to the device instance properties section of this document for the built-in default
values of all properties.
The mcpcfg p command does not require administrator privilege to be executed on NT.
Example:
mcpcfg p IntelliStripe
Modifying Device Instance Properties from Command Line
Modifying a Device Instance Properties:
1) Close all applications currently using the MCP Driver
2) Select a device instance from the list box
3) Make appropriate changes to settings
4) Click OK.
To change one or more properties use the following command:
mcpcfg s <name> <prp_name_1>=<value_1> [<prp_name_2>=<value_2> ...]
where:
<name> is a name of the device instance.
<prp_name_x> is the name of the property to be set.
<value_x> is the new value for the property. If this string is empty, the property is set
to the driver’s built-in default value. Note that setting the Port.Name or
the Transport property to “default” is not allowed.
The whole string <prp_name_x>=<value_x> should contain no spaces. If the value is a string
and it must contain spaces, enclose the whole <prp_name_x>=<value_x> expression in double
quotes, e.g.: ”TraceFilePath=c:\dir with spaces\logfile.txt”.
Any number of <prp_name_x>=<value_x> pairs may be specified with this command (subject
to limitations of the Windows command-line interpreter).
For Windows NT Administrator privilege is required to execute the mcpcfg s command.
