Using Your BusPort
™
Mobile
on a Notebook PC
Initializing new USB Devices
As soon as you start connecting a USB device through any of the
USB ports of the BusPort
™
Mobile, Windows
®
98 automatically
detects the presence of new hardware. Windows
®
will then
request device drivers for this particular USB device. Installation of
those drivers is very similar to that of the BusPort
™
Mobile, so you
can use the driver installation of this manual as a reference.
Windows
®
98 treats the 2 USB ports on the 7-inch dongle as 2
independent ports. You need to install device drivers for each USB
port separately while engaging a new USB device. Windows
®
98
will configure each port individually, and communicate with each
USB port individually.
For example, initially you install a USB device initially in one of the
USB ports. You remove this USB device from the USB port where
you initially connected it and plug it into the other USB port,
Windows
®
98 will request you to install the device drivers again.
Now you can hot attach/detach your USB device onto any of the
two USB ports, since you have the device driver setup for
both ports.
