Note: Existing Dialogic® Brooktrout® Fax Products SDK

Developers:

You cannot start or stop the Plug and Play driver

using commands like the net start/stop commands that

you might be using in your application. The user cannot restart

the driver since it is now a Windows® Device Manager Plug

and Play driver. For any change requiring a driver restart,

such as change in history size and debug options, you must:

Š

Check for the current state of the service

Š

Tell the user to restart Windows® if the driver is not

started

You can install and uninstall the PnP driver using install.exe

application that is already installed with the Brooktrout Fax

Software.

Dialogic does recommend that the only driver settings that you do

change are the History Enable, and History Size. However, your

changes will only take effect by rebooting the system or by using the

Brooktrout Configuration Tool. You can run the Configuration Tool

in silent mode for the changes to take effect. You do not need to run

it in Advanced mode.

As stated earlier, Microsoft leaves few interfaces for the hardware

vendor to implement.

Table 26

summarizes the components for these

interfaces.
