UTN Actions are small files which contain a script that automates the connections to USB ports including connected USB devices. The process defined in the script runs automatically when the file is executed. Since the 'SEH UTN Service' is active in the background, the user does not have to start the SEH UTN Manager interface. I.e., UTN Actions can be used with the complete and minimal version.
UTN Actions are for realizing simple scenarios, such as activating a connection, as well as complex procedures, such as activating a connection and starting an application with time delay. You can create the UTN action with a wizard. You can create the following UTN Actions:
· UTN
Actions which activate and deactivate the device
The wizard will automatically create one UTN Action
for the activation and one UTN Action for the deactivation of the USB
port and the connected USB device. Both UTN Actions will be saved to the
desktop.
· UTN
Action which starts an application and activates the device
After the selection of an application by the user,
the wizard will automatically create a UTN Action which starts an application
and activates the USB port and the connected USB device. Additionally,
you can define a port deactivation after the closing of the application.
· Custom
UTN Action (Experts only)
With the help of the wizard, a custom UTN Action can
be created. You can create:
· UTN Actions for the activation and deactivation of the USB port and the connected USB device. You can define additional options.
· A script for starting the application and activating the USB port and the connected USB device. Additionally, you can define a delay for the start of the application, the deactivation of the USB port after the closing of the application and additional options. Finally, the complete UTN Action will be created automatically by the SEH UTN Manager and saved by the user.
UTN Actions are based on the command
line tool 'utnm'. We recommend experts to use this tool, if they want
to create very complex scripts without restraints. Information on how
to work with the utnm can be found in the system-specific user manuals.
