The programs are called Setup111 and Power111. Start-up parameters you can control include serial port assignment, DOS cursor type, the start-up program (MS-DOS or DeskMate), memory diagnostics on/off, and the internal speaker on/off. The Power Management parameters let you set the hard drive, diskette drive, and display to automatic turn off after a selected number of minutes of inactivity. Of course, each of these devices turn on again whenever they are needed. The Setup Program lets you select Start-up and Power Management parameters, and store the parameters you select in memory. The computer uses these parameters each time you start it up, unless you change the parameters using Setup. Whenever you use the Setup program, you must turn off the computer or press to initialize the new parameters. The Power Program lets you temporarily change the Power Management parameters without restarting the computer. However, changes you make using this program are not stored in memory, and when you restart the computer, it returns to the parameters you stored using the Setup program. You can run Setup and Power from DeskMate or MS-DOS. In both cases, you select parameters you stored using the Setup program. There is also a group of MS-DOS Power Management line commands that lets you temporarily change the Power Management parameters without running Setup or Power. You can use these commands in batch files. This could be convenient if you often switch from AC power to battery power. You can make one batch file to set Power Management parameters for AC-power operation and another for battery power operation. (For more information about batch files, but an optional MS-DOS Reference Guide. Parameter Descriptions: Now that you understand the basics of the Setup and Power programs, use the following information and procedures to set the 1110 HD to work the way you want it to. Date and Time: This parameter lets you set the computer's time and date for DeskMate and MS-DOS. Start-up Diagnostics: Selecting Yes tells your computer to test the memory on startup. Unless you suspect a problem with the memory, you probably will not use this parameter. Serial Port Swap: This parameter lets you select from a pair of internal ports. You can choose either the COM1 or COM2 serial port. The default settings assign COM1 as a mouse port and COM2 as a modem port. Cursor Type: Select a cursor type you prefer. You can choose a line or block style. Start-up Program: These parameters allow you to choose some of the internal settings that activate when you turn on your computer. Hard Disk Standby: Select the number of minutes of hard disk inactivity before the hard disk turns off. You can timeout the hard disk after 15 seconds or 30 seconds. Or you can set the timeout for 1,2,4,8, or 16 minutes. Of course, the hard disk stays on if you choose Never. Display Standby: Use these selections to set the number of minutes of keyboard inactivity before the display turns off. Your computer turns off the display after 1,2, 4,8,16,32, or 64 minutes. The display status on if you select Never. Floppy Standard: Enabling this option tells your computer to turn off the floppy disk controller when the diskette is not being accessed. You can turn off the diskette drive to save battery power. Low Battery Beeper: Enabling this option tells your computer to sound a tone when the battery power is low. This helps to tell you about a low battery condition while you are using your computer. System Beeper: This option allows you to turn the computer's speaker on and off. Rebooting your Computer: Press to reset your computer, or turn off the power and restart. (smm 08/24/93)
