The drag-and-drop method moves a device to another port.
On Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista, the user must have the
administrative permissions in order to use this function.
What is drag-and-drop?
Drag-and-drop is a mouse operation. Place the mouse pointer over an object,
hold down the mouse button and move it (drag) to a desired location, then
release the mouse (drop) and the object is "dropped" to the new location.
Hydra connection and drag-and-drop
When the master device of a port with Hydra connection is moved:
Both the master and the slave devices are all moved.
When a slave device of a port with Hydra connection is moved:
Only the slave devices are moved.
In addition, by dragging an individual device that allows Hydra connection to a
port connected to a device that also allows Hydra connection, it is possible to
perform the Hydra connection.
If the drag operation results in having the device added to the port with Hydra
connection set up, a conformation message appears. Follow the instructions in
the message.
