open the Global Policy Settings tab and click the Comm Hardware icon in the policy tree on the
left.
Figure 72 : Global Communication Hardware Control
The following communication hardware types may have their default set as either enable or
disable for each type:
• IrDA® (Infrared Data Association) - controls the infrared access port on the endpoint
• Bluetooth® - controls the Bluetooth® access port on the endpoint
• 1394 (FireWire™) - controls the FireWire™ access port on the endpoint
• Serial/Parallel - controls serial and parallel port access on the endpoint
Enable allows complete access to the communication port. Disable denies all access to the
communication port. The driver-level communication hardware on the endpoint (NIC, modem,
and Wi-Fi [card or radio]) are controlled by location, and do not have a global default. See
“Communication Hardware Settings” on page 110 for more details.
