M6400 USH and ControlPoint security Manager - Is it worth it?

I've been playing around with my M6400 for a few days now and I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the USH and ControlPoint?

I'm running Win XP Pro SP3 32bit and removed all the ControlPoint apps when I received my laptop. It's been running fine but I was wondering how and what I could use the USH for?

These may sound stupid but bear with me...
1. Is the USH the wireless card icon on the palm rest?
2. Is that wireless device compatible with any RFID cards or tags?
3. Do I have to use the Dell ControlPoint security manager to use it?
4. Is it worth installing this extraware?

Config: T9400, 4GB, 250GB, FX 2700M, WUXGA

 

It displays feedback on your screen when you adjust sound volume or screen brightness. I find it useful, but only the main app. The Security Manager and Connection Manager seem worthless unless you plan to use the fingerprint reader.

 

I did not install the DCP Security driver and manager on my E6400... I don't have a fingerprint reader, and I don't use the security card reader(s). The Broadcom USH device remains banged in Device Manager... not a problem. And without the Security driver, you cannot install the Intel AMT chipset drivers... not a problem. I also don't have vPro security stuff... maybe it would be disabled, too... not a problem.

I would guess you need the DCP Security manager to manage the card/finger reader(s), to define what happens when you swipe a card or finger.

Exactly.
If you don't need it, it's worthless.
If you wish to take advantage of the (included) security features, then it's indispensible.
