On this page you will find discovered devices and are able enable and or disable discovery for device drivers which supports this. To avoid confusion you will only see drivers which have this feature build in.

It depends on the driver for how long discovery works. Some drivers can have discovery enabled indefinitely while others only allow a certain amount of time. There are cases where only a certain amount of time is obvious because these systems are so general you could discover devices which are not yours.

Discovery options depending on driver capabilities:

Scan:
The driver will perform a scan. When the scan is finished discovery is turned off. This type is not limited by time, unless the driver has a timeout build in.
Single device:
The driver will wait for the first device to be discovered and will disable discovery when found. This type is not limited by time.
Timed:
When chosen the driver will be in discovery mode until the amount of time has passed.
Indefinitely:
Discovery is turned on indefinitely. Some drivers are started with this option enabled. When you installed this driver you are notified about this as this can raise issues as stated earlier.
To turn on discovery click on the driver with the icon, set some options and click enable. To disable discovery click on the driver with the or icon. All kinds of discovery can be canceled by the user.
