automatically. USB is an emerging serial interface standard for telephony and
multimedia devices. It uses Plug and Play technology to determine the type of
device attached to the connector.

emulates a mouse and you will not be able to disable the mouse settings in the
Configuration/Setup Utility program.

USB devices.
USB technology provides up to 12 megabits-per-second (Mbps) speed with a
maximum of 127 external devices and a maximum signal distance of five meters
