A feature that facilitates the discovery of a hardware component automatically, without the need for manual installation and configuration
standard for hardware which enables the simple installation of new equipment, PNP
Computer devices that are automatically installed and configured to keep out of each other's way Sometimes works better in theory than in practice
The ability to add new features to a computer and use them immediately Plug and Play eliminates complicated installation procedures Macintosh equipment has always been Plug and Play, and now Windows 95 is trying to help PCs become just as user-friendly
A design philosophy and set of specifications that describe hardware and software changes to the PC and its peripherals, making it possible to add new components without having to perform technical procedures
Also known as PnP, an Intel standard for the design or PC expansion boards that the IRQ and DMA settings and I/O and memory addresses self- configure on start-up
Being able to take any card from any manufacturer, install it in an expansion slot in your PC (so called because they provide for the possibility of expanding what the PC can do) and having it work straight off without any tedious fiddling around and configuring
A set of specifications developed by Intel that allows a computer to automatically detect and configure a device and install the appropriate device drivers
A standard that gives computer users the ability to plug a device into a computer and have the device recognized automatically This function is performed by the operating system
This is a standard that makes it easier for computers to "identify" peripherals that are added to the system
A design philosophy and set of specifications that describe hardware and software changes to the PC and its peripherals that automatically identify and arbitrate resource requirements among all devices and buses on the system Plug and Play specifies a set of API elements that are used in addition to, not in place of, existing driver architectures
A standard developed to ensure easy installation of peripherals Theoretically, a newly installed card will automatically configure itself and work properly without requiring jumper configuration or device drivers
enables a computer to recognize and adapt to hardware changes with little or no user input With Plug and Play, a user can add or remove devices, without any intricate knowledge of computer hardware, and without being forced to manually configure hardware or the operating system For example, a user can plug in a USB keyboard and Plug and Play will detect the new device, find a driver for it and install it Or, a user can dock a portable computer and use the docking station's Ethernet card to connect to the network without changing the configuration Later, the user can undock that same computer and use a modem to connect to the network-again without making any manual configuration changes Stopping or disabling this service will result in system instability
An industry-wide standard for add-on hardware which indicates that it will configure itself, thus eliminating the need to set jumpers, and making installation of the product quick and easy
the ability of a computer and a new piece of equipment to be used together as soon as they are connected
Hides the need for configuring IRQ and DMA channels from the user so that it is easier for the average person to add hardware to their computers
the ability to connect a device to a computer and have it recognize the device without a user telling it the device is connected
Plug and Play is a technology that can reduce conflicts between computer devices by automatically configuring them at startup However, for it to work properly your BIOS and your Operating System both must support PnP, and the device being configured must be a Plug and Play device The technology actually works pretty good but there can be problems when you mix legacy devices with PnP
The concept of adding new components to a PC (such as an external modem) without having to manually configure anything - the operating system does it all for you
A feature in Windows95 that simplifies setting up new accessories Click the Add New Hardware icon, and Windows95 looks for new "Windows95-Aware" components and installs the appropriate drivers When buying new accessories, look for the "Windows95-Aware" sticker on the box
Refers to the ability of a computer system to automatically configure expansion boards and other devices You should be able to plug in a device and play with it, without worrying about setting DIP switches, jumpers, and other configuration elements Since the introduction of the NuBus, the Apple Macintosh has been a plug-and-play computer The Plug and Play (PnP) specification has made PCs more plug-and-play, although it doesn't always work as advertised
The concept of adding new components to a PC (such as an external modem) without having to manually configure anything In other words, the operating system does it all for you
An automated installation process used to connect peripherals to a computer When new devices are plugged into the computer the computer recognizes the device and prompts the user to choose setup options and finish installation
Technology where adapters can be automatically configured by the system without user intervention
This refers to when you can plug in a device into your computer and have the computer recognise that the device is there
A capability of Windows 95 that will automatically detect new hardware and peripherals automatically If you install a new piece of hardware, Windows 95 will automatically detect it, identify it, and read from it the next time you restart Windows 95
The Plug and Play standards were developed to simplify the process of adding hardware to PCs The standard's intention is to conceal unpleasant details, such as IRQ and DMA channels, from people who just want to add a new board, drive, or other chunk of hardware to their system
A hardware standard for auto configuration, which requires operating system support Currently, Windows 95 supports Plug and Play Also slang for autoconfig
pnp
