Communications

. .
. .
The Armada 7800 relies upon the operating system for data, fax and conferencing communication
. .
. .
applications. The user will need a PC Card or external serial modem for any data/fax application.
. .
Compaq recommends that customers reference the Compaq PC Card Solutions List for PC Cards
. .
. .
that are qualified to work on all Compaq commercial portables including the Armada 7800. A
. .
copy of this List, which is updated quarterly, can be obtained from the Compaq web site at
. .
. .
http://www.compaq.com/support/techpubs/pcmcia/pccardlist.html.
. .
. .
Data communications are achieved with HyperTerminal; a basic application that allows for easy
. .
connection to bulletin boards, host systems, or other text-based online services.
. .
. .
. .
Exchange, Microsoft's e-mail and fax client, is used for faxing and can also be used for workgroup
. .
information sharing solutions.
. .
. .
NetMeeting can be used for data conferencing applications including whiteboarding, and
. .
. .
application and data sharing.

Online Help

. .
. .
. .
The Armada 7800 has three online reference guides including the Safety & Comfort Guide, the
. .
Reference Guide, and Options Catalog.
. .
. .
. .
The Safety & Comfort Guide explains to the user how to properly use items like the keyboard and
. .
mouse to reduce the potential of repetitive motion injuries like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
. .
. .
The Reference Guide includes information about all aspects of the computer including, but not
. .
. .
limited to, identifying connectors, inserting and removing hardware, major hardware subsystems,
. .
upgrades, and troubleshooting.
. .
. .
. .
Included in the Options Catalog is a list of supported option parts, part numbers, and descriptions.

Internet Explorer 4.0
. .
. .
. .
Internet Explorer 4.0 (IE4) integrates the PC and the Internet which eliminates the need to use one
. .
tool to browse the Web and another to use the PC. Microsoft labels this concept as the Web PC.
. .
. .
IE4 introduces a host of new features that solve some of the problems previously experienced by
. .
customers. The features include a Search Bar to IE4 that lists search results in view while the user
. .
. .
explores the sites listed. Another feature of IE4 is the AutoComplete function in which the Address
. .
Bar automatically completes addresses for users based on sites already visited and also corrects
. .
. .
syntax errors. In addition, Microsoft has included an Offline Reading feature which lets users set
. .
up favorite Web sites to be downloaded to their hard drive according to a customizable schedule
. .
. .
for off-line viewing at a later time. Compaq has designed its own commercial channel, The
. .
Compaq Channel for Business, and is available for download on the Compaq Web site. It provides
. .
. .
users with up-to-date access to helpful technical support, product information and announcement
. .
news, timely articles, and the latest software and driver downloads. More detailed information
. .
. .
about IE 4.0 can be found in the White Paper titled Internet Explorer 4.0 for Compaq Commercial
. .
Portable and Desktop Products, October 1997.
