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.
