Because many people ask for the settingstool, we will provide one. It has not been finished yet. You can not use the settings tool for the single smartreader.
Please make sure that you use the latest 3rd party software. Most software supports the triple reader automatically.
The old dm drivers don't recognise the vid and the pid of the device. So you can modprobe it manually and the kernel will recognise the 3 devices.
An example:
at first, check what devices you have :
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices | grep 'T:\|S:'
sample output:

[root@a ~]# cat /proc/bus/usb/devices | grep 'T:\|S:'
T: Bus=02 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= 1 Spd=12 MxCh= 2
S: Manufacturer=Linux 2.6.32.26-175.timb1.i686 uhci_hcd
S: Product=UHCI Host Controller
S: SerialNumber=0000:00:1f.4
T: Bus=01 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= 1 Spd=12 MxCh= 2
S: Manufacturer=Linux 2.6.32.26-175.timb1.i686 uhci_hcd
S: Product=UHCI Host Controller
S: SerialNumber=0000:00:1f.2
T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 2 Spd=12 MxCh= 0
S: Manufacturer=Argolis BV
S: Product=Smartreader plus
S: SerialNumber=BLAAH001
Now you see that you have one Smargo with SerialNumber "BLAAH001", just put "device = Serial:BLAAH001" in oscam.server and configure other needed parameters for this. Do the same for other Smargo slots (each of them should have own specific SerialNumber) and u'r done.
If you cant use smartreader protocol, then you need use /dev/ttyUSB0, /dev/ttyUSB1, /dev/ttyUSB2 etc. accordingly or bind these Smargo devices with the specific names using udev rules, so you have no mess with device order.

set mhz = 500 in reader cluster,
with version 1.3 smart setting argolis software and NOT 1.7 set:
cardmhz = 368

FREQ 3.69 Mhz
KERNEL normal

The previous post doesn't work for the triple card reader. There is no software utility that can update this or change any settings, which is why I would probably recommend getting 3 omnikey readers for half the price instead. However if you are stuck with one of these as I am, I found a possible fix on the argolis website so you can get this to work with Oscam. I am having some success at the moment with this but I think I might be missing something because I am still having some issues.
Assigning the Argolis Triple Reader to new device names.
Place this file iin /etc/udev/rules.d/
By reconnecting the triple reader it will be assigned to the new device names.
Read the serial number of the triplereader: lsusb -d 403:6011 -v | grep iSerial
Serial number: 00000001
Readername: triplereader_TEST
The new names for the triplereader with serial number 00000001 will be:
P1 = /dev/triplereader_TEST00
P2 = /dev/triplereader_TEST01
P3 = /dev/triplereader_TEST02
Serial number: 0000ABCD
Readername: my_READER
The new names for the triplereader with serial number 0000ABCD will be:
P1 = /dev/my_READER00
P2 = /dev/my_READER01
P3 = /dev/my_READER02
Use the search tool before asking questions - It might save everyone a lot of time.

the file
http://www.argolis.nl/files/31-triplereader.rules is invalid in their site!
I changed SUBSYSTEMS=="usb" ENV to SUBSYSTEMS=="usb" , ENV and it works!
