Plug and Play Extensions for Windows (PnP-X) is a set of extensions to Plug and Play that deliver support for network-connected devices. PnP-X allows network-connected devices to appear as devices inside of the Microsoft Windows operating system and provides an installation experience that is similar to attaching a physically connected device to a personal computer. The Plug and Play Extensions for Windows specification describes these extensions and provides requirements and guidelines for hardware manufacturers to create devices that are installable with PnP-X.
