Profiles
Whenever you dock to a docking system, Windows automatically switches to a "docked"
hardware profile. Each docking system automatically gets a different "docked" profile.
Each hardware profile defines the hardware that's available for use.
To connect new devices to your docking system, first turn off or undock your OmniBook,
then connect the devices. When you turn on or dock your OmniBook, Windows
automatically detects the new devices and sets them up. If necessary, Windows requests
information about the devices.
To enable or disable a certain component in an existing profile, in System Properties use
the Device Manager tab.
1. In Program Manager, double-click the OmniBook Tools icon (in the Main group).
2. Click Connections and Docking.
3. Set or clear the prompt options:
4. Select the resolution you want to use on the display connected to the docking
station.
If you selected a high resolution—super VGA (800×600) or higher—for use with a
high-resolution display, you may have to turn off the OmniBook display to see the
higher resolution on the external display—see
setup".
5. Choose OK.

The Confirm option provides a convenient way to reboot the OmniBook when
you dock or undock—but this is needed only if the docking station has SCSI
devices or a network connection, or if you switch display resolution when
docked.
The Password option prevents unauthorized removal of your OmniBook.
