Initialize Packet Mode - VeriFone MX800 series Programmer's Manual

Initialize Packet Mode

Prior to reading or writing messages in packet mode, startPktMode() must be
called to configure the packet mode parameters. The packet_parms structure
(in struct Opn_Blk) must be correctly completed before calling
StartPktMode(). Opening the ECR using ecrOpen() is automatically set. If
packet mode is required on a port that is not opened with ecrOpen(), then the
application is required to fill in this structure.
