You can adjust the SCSI interface properties of your system by entering
the Device Manager (Start\Settings\Control Panel\System). Click on
the plus sign beside the SCSI controller option. Select the SCSI controller
listed and hit the Properties button. You can now adjust the SCSI settings
to meet the requirements of your hardware. You can check the documenta-
tion for your SCSI controller or your SCSI devices to determine what
other steps might be required for proper operation.
PCMCIA Modem
Your WinBook notebook might have come with an optional PCMCIA
modem. Even if your unit came with a built-in modem, you might purchase
a PCMCIA modem (e.g. one that
connects to a cellular phone). If so,
once the modem card has been recog-
nized, you will be asked to set up the
modem for use with your system.
Follow the steps above for installing
and configuring your card. Once the
correct driver has been installed and
the modem is ready for use, you
might be asked to fill in the settings
for using this modem (if you have
not set up a modem on this system
before). (Figure 5.14)
Fill in the information requested
to assure proper operation of your
PCMCIA modem. See Chapter Two
for more information about using a
fax/modem with this system.

Power management is
especially important for
PCMCIA modems, since
many are set to stay active so
that they can be ready for
incoming calls. If you are
operating on battery power,
you will want to conserve power
usage by the modem. Check the
documentation that came with
your card, or adjust the power
settings in the
Power Utility
in the Control Panel .
