Philips Port Devices Driver

Philips Port Devices Driver Scanner

When you plug the device into your USB, Windows will look for the associated driver, if it cannot find this driver then you will be prompted to insert the driver disc that came with your device. Common USB Device errors are ‘usb port not working‘, ‘device descriptor request failed error’ or ‘bugcodeusbdriver’ issues. Jul 05, 2017 Unknown devices show up in the Windows Device Manager when Windows can’t identify a piece of hardware and provide a driver for it. An unknown device isn’t just unknown — it’s not functioning until you install the right driver. Windows can identify most devices and download drivers for them automatically. An unknown device will feature a small warning triangle overlaying the device-type icon. If Windows thinks a device is broken or non-responsive, you'll see a red icon overlay, instead. If you discover a warning, install the correct driver before updating by right-clicking the unknown device. Philips SpeechControl Device and Application Control Software gives you full control over your hardware devices. The software allows you to customize the physical buttons of your SpeechMike dictation microphone, the pedals of your foot control, as well as the application actions within your workflow and speech recognition solution.

This topic is intended for OEMs who want to build a Windows 10 system with USB Type-C connector and want to leverage OS features that allow for faster charging, power delivery, dual role, alternate modes, and error notifications through Billboard devices.

A traditional USB connection uses a cable with a USB A and USB B connector on each end. The USB A connector always plugs in to the host side and the USB B connector connects the function side, which is a device (phone) or peripheral (mouse, keyboard). By using those connectors, you can only connect a host to a function; never a host to another host or a function to another function. The host is the power source provider and the function consumes power from the host.

The traditional configuration limits some scenarios. For example, if a mobile device wants to connect to a peripheral, the device must act as the host and deliver power to the connected device.

The USB Type-C connector, introduced by the USB-IF, defined in the USB 3.1 specification, addresses those limitations. Windows 10 introduces native support for those features.

Feature summary

Allows for faster charging up to 100W with Power Delivery over USB Type-C.
Single connector for both USB Hosts and USB Devices.
Can switch USB roles to support a USB host or device.
Can switch power roles between sourcing and sinking power.
Supports other protocols like DisplayPort and Thunderbolt over USB Type-C.
Introduces USB Billboard device class to provide error notifications for Alternate Modes.

Official specifications

Hardware design

USB Type-C connector is reversible and symmetric.

The main component are: the USB Type-C connector and its port or PD controller that manages the CC pin logic for the connector. Such systems typically have a dual-role controller that can swap the USB role from host to function. It has Display-Out module that allows video signal to be transmitted over USB. Optionally it can support BC1.2 charger detection.

Consider recommendations for the design and development of USB components, including minimum hardware requirements, Windows Hardware Compatibility Program requirements, and other recommendations that build on those requirements.Hardware component guidelines USB

Choose a driver model

Use this flow chart to determine a solution for your USB Type-C system.

If your system...	Recommended solution...
Does not implement PD state machines	Write a client driver to the UcmTcpciCx class extension. Write a USB Type-C port controller driver
Implements PD state machines in hardware or firmware and support USB Type-C Connector System Software Interface (UCSI) over ACPI	Load the Microsoft provided in-box drivers, UcmUcsiCx.sys and UcmUcsiAcpiClient.sys. See UCSI driver.
Implements PD state machines in hardware or firmware, but either does not support UCSI, or support UCSI but requires a transport other than ACPI	Write a client driver for the UcmCx class extension. Write a USB Type-C connector driver Write a USB Type-C Policy Manager client driver
Implements UCSI but requires a transport other than ACPI	Write a client driver to the UcmUcsiCx class extension. Use this sample template and modify it based on a transport that your hardware uses. Write a UCSI client driver

Bring up drivers

USB Function driver bring-up is only required if you support USB Function mode. If you previously implemented a USB Function driver for a USB micro-B connector, describe the appropriate connectors as USB Type-C in the ACPI tables for the USB Function driver to continue working.
For more information, see instructions about writing a USB Function driver.
USB Role-Switch driver bring-up is only required for devices that have a Dual Role controller that assumes both Host and Function roles. To bring-up the USB Role-Switch driver, you need to modify the ACPI tables to enable the Microsoft in-box USB role-switch driver.
For more information, see the guidance for bringing up the USB Role Switch Driver.
A USB Connector Manager Driver is required for Windows to manage the USB Type-C ports on a system. The bring-up tasks for a USB Connector Manager driver depend on the driver that you choose for the USB Type-C ports: The Microsoft in-box UCSI (UcmUcsiCx.sys and UcmUcsiAcpiClient.sys) driver, a UcmCx client driver, or a UcmTcpciCx client driver. For more information, see the links in the preceding section that describe how to choose the right solution for your USB Type-C system.

Transcription made easy

with a Philips foot pedal

The ergonomic design of the new Philips foot pedal range sets new standards in terms of usability in the professional dictation arena. The development is based on detailed research into the movements made during transcription. Transcriptionists can stop and start playback with only a slight movement of the heel, and without lifting the foot unnecessarily, which both increases efficiency and makes the device a pleasure to work with.

Features

Anti-slip bottom elements keep the foot control in the right place

Equipped with anti-slip bottom elements, the foot pedal always stays in the right place.

Configurable pedal functions for tailoring the foot control to your personal preferences

The functions of the foot pedal can easily be adapted to one's personal preferences, to further enhance ergonomics of the device (LFH2330).

Ergonomic design for professional use and outstanding comfort

The foot pedal was developed in cooperation with hospital ergonomists and professional end users to ensure a perfectly smooth transcription process with minimal physical strain.

Slim design for minimized physical strain due to less foot movement

Transcriptionists can stop and start dictations with only slight movements of the heel, and without lifting the foot unnecessarily, which both increases efficiency and makes the device a pleasure to work with.

Central configuration and management saves time and resources

The foot pedal is easy to deploy and configure using the Philips SpeechExec remote device management software. It allows administrators to centrally manage, update, and maintain the configuration and settings of Philips dictation devices, saving valuable time and resources.
