Function

Description

Shows the desktop area controller by the pointer device.  This is normally set to the whole desktop. In multi-monitor environment this option is used to associate the device to a specific monitor. A custom desktop area can also be defined to restrict the cursor movement to a specific desktop area. 

Shows the port connected to the device.  In the case of USB, PS/2 and Bus connected devices this shows connection information.  In the case of serial this option can be used to configure serial port settings.

In a multi-device environment this option is used to add additional devices, specifically non PnP devices, such as serial devices.  PnP devices will be automatically added. In Mac OS X and Linux a reboot is required for the added device to function.

Used to remove the current device. For UPDD 4.1.0, if a PnP device is removed it will reappear in the UPDD device list the next time the system device list is renumerated, such as reboot, return from standby, Device Manager rescan devices etc is performed

 

Windows and UPDD 4.0.x only - Plug and play devices supported by the driver will normally be automatically detected in a Windows environment. Where this does not happen the Redetect PnP device option, can be used to request the driver to check the system for devices supported by the driver.  This is normally used if another driver, such as the system’s HID driver, has control of the device.

 

This option is obsolete in 4.1.x and has been removed.

 

If shown, this option invokes a controller firmware page to adjust firmware settings and / or test the controller.
