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.
