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.
Ring/Event Resume
Ring/Event Resume lets you determine if the computer exits suspend mode when an installed modem card
receives an incoming call. This feature must be supported by your modem PC Card and your operating
system.
Settings for this option are:
Disabled (the default) — Resumes normal operation when the computer detects a modem ring
Enabled — 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 set to Enabled.
A change to the Ring/Event Resume option takes effect immediately (rebooting is not required).
S2D Time-Out
S2D Time-Out lets you determine how long your computer remains idle (no I/O activity) before activating
