Overview
The USB Manager feature allows you to manage USB configurations of your device.
Name
The name field is used by the EMDK to identify this particular feature parameter set when you want to manage just part of the profile programmatically using the EMDK ProfileManager API. This can be useful if you have multiple types of the same feature and want to update only one of them without having to update the whole profile. See EMDK Profiles Overview for more information.

USB Module Usage
Enabling this feature would allow the use of external USB modules such as a barcode scanner module. Disabling this feature will disable the use of any usb module attached to the device.
External USB Storage
Enabling this feature would allow the device to access data an external USB mass storage device such as a flash drive through an OTG cable. Disabling would prevent access to an attached USB mass storage device.
ADB Over USB
Enabling this feature will allow ADB (Android Debug Bridge) access to a device from an external workstation via USB. Disabling would prevent adb connections to a device.
Device Storage Access over USB
Enabling this feature would allow access to a devices storage via protocols such as USM, MTP and PTP. Disabling this feature would restrict any access to a devices storage via USB.
USB Mass Storage Mode
Enabling the USM protocol would allow an external workstation to mount a devices storage, which disables a devices access to that storage until unmounted. Device Storage Access over USB must first be enabled.
Media Transfer Protocol Mode
Enabling the MTP protocol would allow an external workstation to access a devices storage without blocking the devices access to that storage. Device Storage Access over USB must first be enabled.
Picture Transfer Protocol Mode
Enabling the PTP protocol would allow an external workstation to access a devices storage without blocking the devices access to that storage. Device Storage Access over USB must first be enabled.
