Ring/Event Resume
NOTE: For the full name of an abbreviation or acronym used in this table, see the Glossary in the
system Help.


 
Lets you determine if the computer exits standby
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 opera-
tion when the computer detects a modem ring
Enabled — Keeps the computer in standby 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 config-
ured 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).
