Svccom3Setmode() - VeriFone MX800 series Programmer's Manual

svcCom3SetMode()

The svcCom3SetMode() function allows the application to manually set the
mode for the COM3 port according to what kind of port COM3 should function as.
If ecrOpen() is used, this is done automatically according to the ECR
environment variables. If open() is used, then this call should be used to set the
correct desired mode for the port. To change modes, it is required to first close the
channel with the MODE_CLOSE_CHANNEL setting and then set the mode to the
new desired mode.
