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. 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. 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 settings are 16 MBPS and 4 MBPS. NOTE: This option appears only if the computer is connected to a Dell Token Ring Advanced Port Replicator. S2D Time-Out S2D TIME-OUT lets you determine how long your computer 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: • DISABLED • 30 MINUTES • 1 HOUR • 2 HOURS • 3 HOURS • 4 HOURS • 6 HOURS • 8 HOURS (the default) • 12 HOURS 2-10 Dell Latitude XPi CD Reference and Troubleshooting Guide
