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 documentation for your
SCSI controller or your SCSI devices to determine what other steps might
be required for proper operation.
PCMCIA Modem
Your WinBook XL2 might have come with an optional PCMCIA modem.
Even if your unit came with a built-in modem, you might purchase a PCM-
CIA modem (e.g. one that connects to a cellular phone). If so, once the
modem card has been recognized,
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.
User’s Manual
5.14
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 operat-
ing 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 .
