Q: What is 'hot-swapping?'
A: One of the best features of USB is that it is hot swappable. This means you can walk up to a computer plug in a new device using USB and use it right away. Most connectors on computers can only be plugged in when the computer is off. This prevents electrical shorts or glitches that can cause damage. USB doesn't have this limitation.
Q: What is 'plug and play?'
A: Plug and play refers to the ability to use a new peripheral without going through an elaborate configuration process. USB is well suited for plug and play operation. No jumpers need be set or ID's selected. There are no interrupt conflicts or other messy configuration issues involved in using USB devices.
