- Device Network ID (D) - This is the reference used by the controller for real devices, and by apps for virtual devices

Disable Device Drivers
Rather than removing a device driver you suspect may be causing an issue with your hub, you can simply disable it to see if the problem is resolved.
- Select the X at the top right to reveal the Disable check boxes.
- Enabling the checkmark in the box to the left of the device name is a fast and simple way to troubleshoot custom device drivers you suspect may be affecting the performance or operation of your hub.
- Remove the checkmark from the Disable checkbox to re-enable the device driver.
- Select the red X to hide the Disable checkboxes from view. NOTE: The disable check boxes will remain visible after a page refresh or when leaving and returning to the Devices page. The X will also remain red when any of the boxes has a checkmark.
