DEVICE PROPERTIES

Device Connection Properties

The “Connection” tab of the “Device Properties” screen enables you

to specify if the device should connect automatically to this computer

when the computer is started, and if any software should start

automatically when the device connects. The information in this topic

applies to all devices except printers and disks that are shared via NAS

mode. To learn about connection properties for printers, see the “Printer

Connection Properties” section.

Check the “Automatically connect this device when the Home Base

Control Center starts” check box if you want to this computer to

automatically connect to this device each time Control Center starts. If

you mark this check box along with the box that specifies if the Control

Center should start, the device will automatically connect each time you

start the computer.

Connections to devices may occasionally be lost due to network

failures or other factors. If you want the Control Center to automatically

reconnect with the device should this occur, check “Attempt to

reconnect the device if the connection is lost”. The Control Center will

try to reconnect with the device until the connection is reestablished or

the computer is shut down.

Use the “Launch Program” field to specify settings for any software

associated with this device. For example, a webcam probably has

software that captures video. By checking “Launch a program when this

device connects”, you can specify that the software starts automatically

when the webcam is available. You can also check “Disconnect device

when the program is closed” if you want to free up the device for use by

other computers when you close the software.

In the “Program” field, browse to find the software you want to associate

with the device. You can also enter the path to the program directly into

the field. Once your settings are saved, only the name of the program

appears in the “Program” field.
