6.2.2 Manage DDs
Using this feature, you 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, you can install it using the
Add DD
feature.
Similarly, you can uninstall a DD file or a set of DD files using
Delete DD
feature. You 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, validate the library view using the “Refresh” feature.
