2-10 Dell Latitude XPi CD Reference and Troubleshooting Guide
Primary Password
PRIMARY PASSWORD
displays the current status of the
primary password and allows you to assign or change this
password.
Settings for this option are:
•
DISABLED
(the default) indicates that no primary
password is assigned.
•
ENABLED
indicates that a primary password is cur-
rently assigned.
If you assign a primary password, the computer prompts
you for the password each time you boot the computer.
Replicator Network
REPLICATOR NETWORK
allows you to configure network
drivers for use with the Advanced Port Replicator, if you
are using an operating system other than Windows 95.
When this option is set to
ENABLED
(the default) and
used with the is_net.exe utility, network drivers load
automatically when you boot the computer. For more
information, see the Dell Latitude XPi Advanced Port
Replicator User’s Guide.
Replicator SCSI
REPLICATOR SCSI
allows you to configure SCSI device
drivers for use with the Advanced Port Replicator, if you
are using an operating system other than Windows 95.
When this option is set to
ENABLED
(the default), SCSI
drivers load automatically when you connect a SCSI
device to the replicator. For more information, see the
Dell Latitude XPi Advanced Port Replicator User’s
Guide.
Ring/Event Resume
RING/EVENT RESUME
lets you determine if the computer
exits suspend mode when an installed modem card
receives an incoming call.
Settings for this option are:
•
ENABLED
(the default) is used to resume normal
operation when the computer detects a modem ring.
•
DISABLED
keeps the computer in suspend mode
when the computer detects a modem ring.
NOTES: Dell recommends that you set
RING/EVENT
RESUME
to
DISABLED
when an external serial device other
than a modem is connected to your computer.
In order for the
RING/EVENT RESUME
option to work properly,
this feature must be enabled in the device driver for your modem
PC Card. All drivers supplied by Dell with your computer are
configured to allow the computer to resume normal operation
when a modem receives an incoming call. If you use a PC Card
that you did not receive from Dell, check the documentation to
make sure this feature is enabled.
A change to the
RING/EVENT RESUME
option takes effect
immediately (rebooting is not required).
Ring Speed
RING SPEED
lets you configure the default ring speed of
the Dell Token Ring Advanced Port Replicator. The set-
tings are
16 MBPS
and
4 MBPS.
NOTE: This option appears only if the computer is con-
nected to a Dell Token Ring Advanced Port Replicator.
S2D Time-Out
S2D TIME-OUT
lets you determine how long your com-
puter remains idle (no I/O activity) before activating
suspend-to-disk mode to conserve battery power.
Settings for this option in both
AC
and
BATTERY
are:
CAUTION: The password features provide a high
level of security for the data in your computer.
However, they are not foolproof. If your data
requires more security, it is your responsibility to
obtain and use additional forms of protection, such
as data encryption programs or PC Cards with
encryption features.
