Optional Hardware - Winbook XP5 User Manual

Optional Hardware

This section briefly describes two major WinbookXP5 options you may have gotten with the
computer, or may decide to get later on. These are the Fax Modem and the Audio Card. A third
section covers PCMCIA card basics. All of these come with their own documentation, so the
goal here is to give you an overview.
The Fax Modem
The fax modem option includes the internal fax modem hardware and software to go with it. The
fax modem hardware is dual function. It is a 14.4K bps fax with voice capability and also a
14.4K bps data modem. The software includes WinFax Lite, a program that lets you send and
receive faxes. Because the WinFax driver installs like a printer driver, the fax capability is
available, by selecting the WinFax driver as the active or default printer, to any Windows
application that can print.
The fax modem installs in a small compartment at the left rear corner of the computer. If you got
your WinBook with it installed, there will be a standard telephone jack at that corner. If you buy
the fax modem later, you can install it yourself using the instructions that come with the
hardware.

All the software that comes with the fax modem comes with its own documentation that explains
how to install and use it. We install the software for you when you order the fax modem with
your WinBook, so if the fax modem is already installed in your system, you'll find the software
for it installed and configured on your hard disk, in addition to the manuals and software disk.

The Audio Card
The audio card option includes the audio card hardware and software to go with it. The audio
card is a 16-bit stereo card. The computer automatically configures its built-in audio hardware
