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.
