Prior to adding hardware in LS Hardware Station, all drivers for the devices, such as OPOS printers, drawers, and line display must be installed and tested on the machine running the LS Hardware Station service. Usually, there are tools provided for that from the device manufacturer. When you have successfully set up and tested drivers, the Hardware Station is able to detect them and load them in the Management Portal.
