Manage Dds - Honeywell SLG 700 User Manual

3.2.2

Manage DDs

Using this feature, the user can manage the DD files installed with FDC. A DD file contains
descriptive information about the functionality of a device. By default, a set of DD files are installed
with FDC. However, if you do not have a DD for a given device, the user can install it using the
"Add DD" feature. Similarly, the user can uninstall a DD file or a set of DD files using "Delete DD"
feature. The user can also directly copy the DD files in appropriate hierarchy using a card reader
or "Active Sync/Mobile Device Center" mechanisms. In such a case, the user should validate the
library view using the "Refresh" feature.
Overview
Using Manage DDs, the user can view, add, or delete DD files for devices. A list of already
available DD files is maintained in the DD Library. FDC lists the installed DD files in a hierarchy as
below:


Device Type

DevRev xx, DDRev yy

DevRev pp, DDRev qq
