If called with no other arguments, a reader adapter with default properties will be created. You may change default properties, by supplying prop val pairs. The output of this command will give you the ID of the configured reader adapter, which you will need to control the reader later. A few examples:
createreader Alien9800 - Create an Alien9800 reader adapter with default properties.
createreader Alien9800 ip 192.168.1.115 port 23 - Create an Alien9800 with the supplied IP and Port properties.
