[Rfdump] reader config help

Setup ACG readers
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If rfdump can't detect your reader you may want to setup your reader
with the Windows setup tool from ACG. Download
http://acg-id.aaitg.com/fileadmin/acg_id/products/readers/Zip/ReaderUtility_v3.2.0.zip
or look at the ACG page http://acg-id.aaitg.com/index.php?id=156 for
newer versions.

The ACG readers need to be setup in "ASCII mode" with 9600 baud. Be
aware that the ACG PC/SC windows driver always reconfigures any found
ACG readers to binary mode, so rfdump can't detect them any longer.


Working with the VMWare image
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have a USB reader it should be automatically bound to the
running VMWare if you plug in the reader after the VMWare Linux has
started. The reader will be available as /dev/ttyUSB0.

If you have a CF reader you have to manually map the Windows COM port
to a Linux tty by configuring your VMWare
player/workstation/server. When using the ACG setup tool you can
determine the Windows COM port. When using VMWare player you have to
edit the .vmx file and manually map the COM port to tty0..tty3. If you
have a graphical configuration dialog this is a little bit easier. In
the VMWare Linux the reader is then accessible as
/dev/ttyS0.../dev/ttyS3.
