About Plug and Play Components

Plug and Play happens outside the process of the application that

uses the drivers. The Brooktrout SDK includes Plug and Play

compatible drivers and the INF file. The INF file contains essential

information needed for the Windows® Class Installers to correctly

identify components in an INF file and install them.

The user installs

the

hardware in the computer by following the

instructions in the hardware installation guide that comes with the

module. When Windows® starts and the user logs on, the

Found New

Hardware Wizard

screen appears.

The user selects the option to

Search for a suitable driver for my device

and places the software CD in the system (this is a Brooktrout CD or

your application CD with the Brooktrout Plug and Play driver). The

user then browses to the location of the INF files. The Windows®

Plug and Play manager finds the driver and installs it on the

computer.
