3. In the Configurator screen, from the Configure menu select CardLite.

To support only modem cards, choose CardLite Basic.

To support modem cards and network (LAN) cards, choose CardLite Enhanced
and clear the ATA card option.

To support modem cards, network cards, and ATA-type data storage cards,
choose CardLite Enhanced and set the ATA card option.

To support all card types, choose CardSoft—the default OmniBook setting.
This is the only setting that supports CardWizard.

5. From the File menu, choose Exit. When prompted, choose OK to save the changes

The CardLite Configurator program changes the CONFIG.SYS file so it loads only the
drivers needed for the types of cards you’ve selected.

You can also use the CardLite Configurator program to view or change the settings for a
modem card or network (LAN) card. However, the default settings should normally be
correct for the OmniBook—write them down before changing them

so you can restore

them, if necessary. If you’ve changed the COM name assignments for the serial ports,
COM2 may not be available for a modem card—use the Settings menu Modem
command to select the proper port (also see

“To view or change serial port

assignments”

).

Connecting an External Display

You can connect an external display device to your OmniBook. For example, if you’re
giving a presentation, you can connect a VGA projection panel. For a demonstration to a
small group, you can connect a large VGA display.

To connect an external display

1. Make sure the external display supports standard VGA or super VGA format, or

standard NTSC or PAL format.

2. Plug the VGA cable from the external display into the SVGA-out connector at the

back of the OmniBook.
-or-
Plug the video cable from the television monitor into the video out connector at the
back of the OmniBook.
