Digitizer Specifications 1

The Stylistic 1000 digitizer consists of the stylus, a sensor grid, and supporting controller circuitry. The sensor grid is built into the system unit behind the display screen and receives an electromagnetic signal from the stylus. The stylus transmits an electromagnetic signal that reveals the stylus location relative to the sensor grid. The stylus signal is received by the sensor grid when the stylus is within a minimum proximity of 0.375 inches from the the screen surface. This allows the stylus to control the cursor position without touching the screen surface. Switch information on the stylus is determined by the characteristics of the signal transmitted from the pen. Left and right mouse button functions are simulated with pen tip and pen button, respectively. Digitizer specifications are given in Table 1-2.

Note: The stylus tip switch must be pressed to initiate normal stylus mode (stylus transmitting). The stylus enters idle mode when the stylus timeout expires (a period of time with no tip switch activation).

Table 1-2. Digitizer Specifications

Continuous running time: 1190 hours (1674 hours typical).

Typical battery life is 80 weeks (20 hours of use per week).

Stylus power consumption Normal mode: 380 uA max (270 uA typical)

Idle mode: 3.5 uA max (1.5 uA typical)

Stylus is in idle mode unless tip switch is pressed. (Pressing the side switch alone will not initiate normal operation.) Stylus will enter idle mode when 3.5 to 10 minutes (5 minutes nominal) elapse with no tip switch activity.

Stylus circuitry is protected against battery reverse polarity.

Upper Memory Allocation 1

When you are running Windows for Workgroups, system hardware, cards, and drivers installed in your system must be allocated to unique and exclusive upper memory address space. Table 1-4 shows memory areas that are available and memory that is allocated to system functions. If you install additional cards and drivers, ensure that they are configured to use memory that is available and does not conflict with other drivers installed in your system. To determine whether a specific upper memory area is free, use the Microsoft diagnostics application MSD.EXE.

Table 1-4. Upper Memory Allocation

* This is the default upper memory area used by MS-DOS and Windows for Workgroups PCMCIA drivers.

† This is the factory setting for the integrated spread spectrum radio permanently installed in the Stylistic 1000 RF.

Port Replicator 1

The Stylistic 1000 port replicator is an optional hardware component that provides quick connection to peripheral devices. The port replicator duplicates peripheral connectors on the system unit and provides an additional Rx/Tx serial port and a mouse port. Connectors that are duplicated by the port replicator are connected to the same signal lines as corresponding connectors on the system unit.

Specifications on the interfaces provided by the port replicator are given later in this chapter. For information on using the port replicator, see the Stylistic 1000 User’s Guide.

Video Port 1

The video port on the Stylistic 1000 provides a standard VGA connector that allows you to use the Stylistic 1000 with an external monitor alone or simultaneously with the system’s display screen. Pin assignments for the video port connector are shown in Table 1-6.

The video controller in the Stylistic 1000 is a VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) compatible VGA controller that supports all standard VGA modes plus “super” VGA or SVGA enhancements. (See the video port specifications in Table 1-1 earlier in this chapter for information on the video controller chip manufacturer.) An external monitor connected to the video port can operate simultaneously with the system unit display at 640x480 resolution. The video controller in the Stylistic 1000 can drive an external monitor at higher resolutions (up to 1024x768). However, driving an external monitor at resolutions higher than 640x480 will disable the system unit display. Table 1-7 shows video modes that the video controller supports with an external monitor. Note that this table shows only some of the more common video modes; the video controller is capable of operating in several other video modes. Your video driver software may not be capable of operating the video controller in all of these video modes.

The DC power input connector is a two conductor connector with a center pin and sleeve. The DC power input connector on the system unit and port replicator is manufactured by Hosiden (Hosiden part number HEC3900-01-010). Pin assignments for this connector are given in Table 1-14.

When a DC power source is connected to the port replicator, the port replicator filters DC power and provides protection against reverse polarity at the DC input before DC power is supplied to the system unit via the system interface port. A fuse built into the port replicator provides circuit overload protection. This fuse is not user serviceable.

When a DC power source is connected to the DC power input on the system unit, circuitry built into the system unit provides protection against reverse polarity and overload.

Power Management

The Stylistic 1000 is compliant with the Advanced Power Management (APM) BIOS Interface Specification Revision 1.1. This specification was developed jointly by Intel and Microsoft corporations. If you are developing an APM-aware application, obtain a copy of this specification from Intel or Microsoft for specific information about APM 1.1. See “Related Documentation” in the “About This Guide” section of this manual for details on how to order the APM specification.

System Power States and State Transitions 2

Power management is achieved by controlling transitions between the following system states: fully on, idle, standby, suspend, and off. Figure 2-1 illustrates transitions between system power states and describes events that trigger transitions from one state to the next.

• System activity detected (pen, keyboard, mouse, serial I/O, parallel I/O, floppy drive, HDD, PCMCIA)

• Autosuspend timeout expires

• Standby timeout expires

Note: The system can be suspended by pressing the suspend button when in the fully on state, idle state, or standby state. Further power control over individual devices, such as the hard disk drive, is achieved through device timeouts.

2-1

System activity for each system power state is described in Table 2-1. These power management states correspond with the system power states defined in the APM 1.1 specification. Options selected in your system’s BIOS and operating system determine whether all or a subset of system power states are utilized. If your system is configured to use Save to Disk, the system enters the off state rather than the suspend state when the suspend button is pressed or a suspend request is issued. To restore the system after a save-to-disk operation, you must toggle the main power switch off and then on.

Table 2-1. System Power States

* To use CPU idle mode, the CPU speed BIOS option must be set to fast and the CPU idle mode BIOS option must be enabled.

Power Management BIOS Configuration Options 2

The simplest way to customize power usage for your application is by setting power management BIOS configuration options. The Stylistic 1000 BIOS allows you to enable or disable power management features and set timeouts for individual devices and state transitions. The configuration option settings that are best for your application depend on such factors as how often the system is used, the amount of processing power required by your application, and the nature of the tasks that the user must perform. For a list of BIOS configuration options for power management, see Chapter 8 “BIOS Configuration Options.”

Application Design for Power Management 2

The APM BIOS allows application developers to gain control over system state transitions by designing APM-aware applications. APM-aware applications are applications that monitor or respond to power management events or request power management state transitions. For example, when the suspend timeout expires, or the suspend button is pressed, a suspend request is generated by the BIOS. A power-aware application can block the suspend request and prevent the system from entering suspend mode or allow the suspend operation to be executed (provided no other applications block the suspend request). This is useful if your application performs critical tasks such as data transfers that should not be

Fully On System is running. CPU is at 100MHz when CPU speed is Fast; 50 MHz if CPU speed is Slow.

Idle*(CPU Idle Mode)

System is running. CPU speed drops to 50MHz when CPU Idle Mode is enabled. (The BIOS determines when the system is idle by monitoring system activity. When 16 seconds have elapsed with a lack of system activity, the system enters idle mode.)

Standby System is running. Display backlight is turned off. CPU speed is 50MHz when CPU Idle Mode is enabled. Hard disk drive is spun down.

Suspend System is not running. Display and video controller are off. CPU is off, other system circuitry is powered down or in low-power state. Hard disk drive is off. Peripheral interfaces are turned off. RAM is powered. PCMCIA sockets are powered if resume on modem ring is enabled.

interrupted. Note that a critical suspend event, which occurs when the battery reaches a critically low level, cannot be blocked by applications.

The Stylistic 1000 complies with the APM model for power management events by allowing applications to issue and respond to the suspend request and other APM broadcast messages. To incorporate APM broadcast messages in your application design, use the operating system’s power management interface.

Note: To set BIOS power management configuration options from your application you can, use the development libraries in the Stylistic 1000 Developer Utilities (described in Chapters 5, 6, and 7).

Different operating systems use different mechanisms to communicate power management messages between applications, the operating system, and the BIOS. The APM interface for each operating system supported with the Stylistic 1000 is described below.

MS-DOS APM Interface 2

The APM interface for MS-DOS is provided by POWER.EXE. POWER.EXE is located in the C:\DOS directory. Your CONFIG.SYS file contains an entry for POWER.EXE that causes POWER.EXE to load as a driver when you boot MS-DOS. (Note that POWER.EXE can also be used as an MS-DOS command. For details, see your MS-DOS user documentation.)

Note: The APM driver POWER.EXE from Microsoft is compliant with the Advanced Power Management Specification Revision 1.0.

State Transitions in MS-DOS 2

MS-DOS power management state transitions are broadcast through software interrupt INT 2Fh. This allows APM-aware MS-DOS applications to prepare for state changes. For example, an application can reject a suspend request if a critical process is under way or the application can allow the suspend request to proceed. MS-DOS applications must intercept INT 2F and check the CPU registers to receive APM broadcast messages. Refer to MS-DOS Power Management documentation for details on APM broadcast messages and events.

Windows for Workgroups Power Management Interface 2

The APM driver for Windows for Workgroups is POWER.DRV. To enable the power management interface, POWER.DRV must be listed in the drivers= entry in your SYSTEM.INI file. This driver allows Windows applications to receive power event notification through the WM_POWER message.

Note: The APM driver POWER.DRV from Microsoft is compliant with the Advanced Power Management Specification Revision 1.0.

When a suspend or resume event occurs, the message WM_POWER is sent to all top-level windows. APM-aware applications can respond to this message and prepare for or block the system from entering suspend mode. See your Windows programming documentation for details on the WM_POWER message.

Windows 95 Power Management Interface 2

The APM driver for Windows 95 is POWER.DRV. (Note that this file is different from the APM driver for Windows for Workgroups.) Windows 95 allows 32-bit applications to submit a suspend request using the Win32 API function SetSystemPowerState. Refer to the Microsoft Developers Network CD-ROM for details on the Win32 API.

Application Design for Power Management 2-3

Windows 95 Power Message 2

Windows 95 sends information on power management events to all applications via the WM_POWERBROADCAST message. Parameters for the WM_POWERBROADCAST message that indicate various power management events are listed in Table 2-2 with a brief description of each.

Table 2-2. Windows 95 WM_POWERBROADCAST Message Parameters

wParam Description

PBT_APMPOWERSTATUSCHANGE Sent to indicate system power status change.

Chapter 3

Save to Disk

The Stylistic 1000 BIOS allows you to configure your system in two different suspend modes: suspend or Save to Disk. When you select Save to Disk mode, all data in system memory is stored on the hard disk drive when the system is suspended and system power is turned off completely. (Compare to normal suspend mode, which maintains power to RAM and some other devices depending on BIOS settings.) When the system resumes from Save to Disk mode, system memory is restored using the data saved on the hard disk drive and any application that was interrupted resumes at the same point program execution stopped, returning program flow back to the application.

Save to Disk Features 3

Save to Disk has the following features:

• Save-to-disk partition and MS-DOS file support for save-to-partition or save-to-file configurations• Real-time mode select

The suspend mode can be selected using any of the BIOS configuration utilities or the Power Management control panel applet. (A save-to-disk file or partition must already exist.)

• High performanceThe Stylistic 1000 runs Save to Disk in local cached memory.

• High-speed algorithmMemory is copied to the hard disk drive in 512 KB blocks. A test is performed to determine whether data in each block contains all zeros. Blocks that contain all zeros are mapped into a table rather than copied to the hard disk drive when Save to Disk is performed.

Partition and File Considerations 3

You can configure your system to store save-to-disk data in either a partition or in an MS-DOS file. Issues you should consider before configuring your system with a save-to-disk partition or file are discussed below.

Save-to-Disk Partition 3

You must back up all data on the hard disk before you create a save-to-disk partition. Creating or resizing a save-to-disk partition will reformat the entire hard disk erasing all data stored on the disk. Once the partition is created, you must restore any valuable hard disk data from the backup you created. You can avoid the task of backing up and restoring data if you use a save-to-disk file instead of a partition.

The size of your save-to-disk partition or file must be adequate for the amount of memory installed in your system. If you create a save-to-disk partition, and later add memory to your system, you will need to create a new save-to-disk partition or file.

Once you have created a save-to-disk partition, the hard disk space occupied by that partition will remain unusable by the operating system. If, at a later date, you decide to reconfigure your system to use a file instead of a partition, you will need to delete the save-to-disk partition and reformat the entire hard disk if you want to use the hard disk space occupied by the save-to-disk partition. When both a save-to-disk partition (of adequate size) and a save-to-disk file exist, data is stored in the partition first and any excess data is stored in the save-to-disk file.

3-1

When using a partition, save-to-disk maps bad spots on the hard disk drive in your save-to-disk partition and avoids storing data in sections of the hard disk that contain bad spots.

Save-to-Disk File 3

When you create or resize a save-to-disk file, an MS-DOS file is created without reformatting the hard disk or erasing any data stored on the hard disk. This eliminates the need to restore data to the hard disk drive after you create a save-to-disk file.

Note: Although you can create a save-to-disk file without backing up and restoring hard disk data, it is advisable to maintain a backup of valuable data in case of a hard disk failure.

Configuring the Stylistic 1000 for Save to Disk 3

Before you can use Save to Disk, you must create a save-to-disk partition or file on your hard disk using the PHDISK utility. See “PHDISK Hard Disk Preparation Utility” later in this chapter for details. Once you have created a save-to-disk partition or file, you can configure your system to use Save to Disk mode by running the Power Management control panel applet, PenSETUP, or any other BIOS setup utility.

Using Save to Disk 3

When your system is configured to use Save to Disk, all system operations that suspend the system will put the system in Save to Disk mode including pressing the suspend button and auto suspend timeout.

Resume From Disk 3

To resume from disk, you must turn the main system power switch off and then on again. Note that the resume on time and resume on modem ring functions will not resume the system when it is configured to use Save to Disk mode.

Save to Disk During System Activity 3

The Stylistic 1000 BIOS allows Save to Disk to occur by interrupting the active application program in a seamless manner, even while the active application is writing to the hard disk or communicating through a modem, or a serial or parallel port.

Note: • Save to Disk cannot be executed when the active application will not let the chipset enter the Idle State. This can occur during fast I/O operations. Conditions like these can interfere with critical signals such as Critically Low Battery.

• Communication is interrupted when the system is in suspend mode. If your system is connected to a network, you may be disconnected from the network if the network has an idle time limit.

• Applications that block the APM 1.1 suspend request can also block the system from entering Save to Disk mode.

3-2 Save to Disk

PHDISK Hard Disk Preparation Utility 3

The PHDISK hard disk preparation utility is included with Stylistic 1000 Developer Utilities software. It can be used to prepare either a dedicated partition or a hidden MS-DOS file for storing system configuration data, and system and video memory during Save to Disk operation.

Command Line Options 3

Table 3-1 lists the PHDISK command line options and additional parameters. The PHDISK options can be called using only the first letter of each option and parameter. For instance, either PHDISK /REFORMAT or PHDISK /R invoke the reformat option.

The example below shows the type of information that is displayed when PHDISK is called without a command line option. This example displays both the Save to Disk FILE INFORMATION and save-to-disk PARTITION INFORMATION headers. These headers are displayed only when both a Save to Disk partition and a Save to Disk file exist. (The USAGE and OPTIONS headers are displayed in several screens displayed by PHDISK).

Caution

Creating a save-to-disk partition will reformat the hard disk drive, erasing all data on the disk. Back up your hard disk before using PHDISK to create a save-to-disk partition.

Table 3-1. PHDISK Command Line Options

Option Parameters Description

None Displays the PHDISK Opening Screen.

/CREATE /PARTITION Creates a save-to-disk partition. (Entire hard disk is reformatted.)

/FILE If no save-to-disk partition exists, PHDISK creates a save-to-disk file large enough for the current system configuration.

If a save-to-disk partition exists, PHDISK creates a save-to-disk file large enough to supplement the existing save-to-disk partition space. (The file created provides additional disk space required for Save to Disk operation.)

/DELETE /PARTITION Deletes all data in the save-to-disk partition and renders disk space occupied by the save-to-disk partition unusable. (You must reformat the entire hard disk to use the hard disk space occupied by the deleted partition.)

/FILE Delete save-to-disk file.

/INFO /PARTITION Displays data about the save-to-disk partition.

/FILE Displays data about the save-to-disk file.

/REFORMAT /PARTITION Reformat the save-to-disk partition after an error is detected.

PHDISK Hard Disk Preparation Utility 3-3

Note: When a save-to-disk partition and file both exist, save-to-disk data is stored in the partition first and any excess data is stored in the save-to-disk file. It is recommended that you configure your system to use either a save-to-disk partition exclusively or a save-to-disk file exclusively. This ensures that your save-to-disk data is stored in contiguous disk space.

Usage:PHDISK [options]/CREATE (/FILE or /PARTITION) -- Create STD file or partition/DELETE (/FILE or /PARTITION) -- Delete existing STD file or partition./INFO -- Information on STD disk area(s)/REFORMAT /PARTITION -- Reformat existing STD partition

This utility configures a hard disk to utilize the Phoenix NoteBIOS 4.0Save to Disk feature. Please refer to your user manual for information regarding Save to Disk.

CREATE Option 3

The CREATE option measures the amount of on-board memory, and partitions a segment of the hard disk drive large enough to store all the data that might be there. The CREATE option formats the save-to-disk partition or file, marking bad spots on the hard disk drive as they are found.

Automatic Memory Size Calculation 3

PHDISK automatically measures all system and video memory and calculates the exact amount of hard disk space required to store the maximum amount of data the memory might contain. The result of this measurement, [SIZE], is displayed on the PHDISK screen.

The total amount of system and video memory is calculated by the following formula:

Calculated memory = Physical System Memory + VESA memory + 0.3 KBytes (Save to Disk overhead)

Hard disk space is allocated by cluster, therefore, the save-to-disk partition may exceed [SIZE] by nearly one cluster. This space is used, as needed, for the bad-sector replacement pool.

Specify Memory Size 3

The amount of disk space required to store all system and video memory is calculated automatically whenever the CREATE option is used. If you specify a specific amount of memory, [SIZE], equal to or larger than the calculated space required, the amount of memory specified by the [SIZE] parameter is

3-4 Save to Disk

allocated. [SIZE] is measured in kilobytes (the measurement notation K, or KB, or KBytes, is not entered in the command line).

• If [SIZE] is larger than or equal to the calculated space required:Save to Disk disk space allocated = [SIZE].

• If [SIZE] is smaller than the calculated space required:[SIZE] is ignored, no Save to Disk disk space is allocated, and an error message is displayed.

/PARTITION or /P 3

PARTITION creates a hard disk partition where only save-to-disk data is stored.

Note: The hard disk drive boot sector BIOS configuration option must be set to normal to create a save-to-disk partition.

/FILE or /F 3

The /FILE parameter creates a file in the hard disk’s MS-DOS partition that is used to store only save-to-disk data. When a save-to-disk partition already exists, a file large enough to supplement the save-to-disk partition is created by default.

When the system and video memory outgrows the [SIZE] of the save-to-disk partition, the /FILE option can be used to re-allocate disk space. Using /FILE eliminates the user's need to create a new save-to-disk partition, and also eliminates the time consuming task of backing up the entire hard disk drive before running PHDISK /CREATE /PARTITION.

If you want to use a save-to-disk file exclusively to store save-to-disk data, you must first delete any existing save-to-disk partition before creating a save-to-disk file.

/CREATE Option Syntax 3

The syntax of the PHDISK /CREATE option is:

PHDISK /CREATE [SIZE][/FILE][/PARTITION]

Table 3-2 lists valid examples of the PHDISK /CREATE option.

Table 3-2. PHDISK /CREATE Option

Command Description

PHDISK /CREATE /FILE (or PHDISK /C /F)

If no save-to-disk partition exists, PHDISK creates a save-to-disk file large enough for the current system configuration.

If a save-to-disk partition exists, PHDISK creates a save-to-disk file large enough to supplement the existing save-to-disk partition space. (The file created provides additional disk space required for save-to-disk operation.)

PHDISK /CREATE /PARTITION (or PHDISK /C /P)

Creates a save-to-disk partition using the amount of memory required as calculated by PHDISK. (Entire hard disk is reformatted.)

PHDISK /CREATE 10240 /FILE (or PHDISK /C 10240 /F)

Creates a 10 MB save-to-disk file. The [SIZE] variable is 10240.


REFORMAT Option 3

The /REFORMAT option resets the pointers in a save-to-disk partition. Use this option after a save-to-disk operation is terminated by a read or write error.

Note: Only save-to-disk partitions can be reformatted; save-to-disk files cannot. If a hard disk error occurs while writing to a save-to-disk file, use PHDISK /DELETE /FILE to delete the save-to-disk file. Then, use PHDISK /CREATE /FILE to create a new save-to-disk file.

/REFORMAT Option Syntax 3

Table 3-3 lists an example of the PHDISK /REFORMAT option.

DELETE Option 3

When DELETE is specified, the pointers and data in the specified save-to-disk partition or file are deleted. Use DELETE when bad data is displayed after a Resume From Disk operation.

/DELETE Option Syntax 3

Table 3-4 lists valid examples of the PHDISK /DELETE option.

INFO Option 3

The /INFO option displays data about the save-to-disk partition or file.

Programmable System Functions

The Stylistic 1000 has programmable system functions that allow developers to customize some system features. This chapter discusses low level programming methods that you can use to access the programmable hotpad and change the display backlight and contrast settings. See also Chapters 5, 6, and 7 for information on BIOS configuration functions included with developer libraries for the Stylistic 1000 that also allow you to change these settings.

Accessing Programmable Functions Using I/O 4

The programmable functions discussed in this chapter are controlled by an integrated circuit that is accessed using I/O ports FD62h and FD63h. The value in I/O port FD62h is interpreted as an index to individual function registers, and the value in I/O port FD63h is interpreted as data. Values can be read from and written to these I/O ports using the assembly instructions IN and OUT, respectively.

Programmable Hotpad 4

The programmable hotpad register on the Stylistic 1000 allows developers to write applications that respond to a pen tap on the programmable hotpad. The location of the programmable hotpad is shown in Figure 4-1.

Figure 4-1. Hotpad Locations

The programmable hotpad register is accessed by loading an index value of 0Fh in I/O port FD62 and reading the value of bit D0 in I/O port FD63 as shown in Table 4-1. A D0 value of 1 indicates that the hotpad has been pressed (a hotpad event). After reading the data value, your application must reset D0 back to 0 if a hotpad event has occurred and periodically check the value of D0 to determine whether a hotpad event has occurred.

Note: Some functions included in the development libraries for the Stylistic 1000 allow an application to check the status of the programmable hotpad. You are encouraged to use the development libraries rather than access the hotpad register directly. The libraries simplify the task of programming the system and reduce the risk of programming errors accidently disabling other system functions. See Chapters 5, 6, and 7 for details.

Display Contrast Setting 4

The display contrast level can be set by loading an index value of 03h in I/O port FD62h and writing a data value to I/O port FD63h. The data value determines the contrast level with 0000 0000b (00h) as the minimum and 1111 1111b (FFh) as the maximum as shown in Table 4-2.

Static Library Functions for MS-DOS Application Development

FJSYS.LIB 5

The static library FJSYS.LIB includes functions that allow MS-DOS application developers to write programs that configure Stylistic 1000 BIOS parameters and other features. To include these functions in your application, you must include the header file FJSYS.H in your application source code. FJSYS.H includes the symbol definitions for functions that use symbols for parameter arguments. (These files are included with Stylistic 1000 Developer Utilities.)

Note: This library is compiled as a small model library. Your application must also be compiled as a small model library to avoid memory addressing errors while linking with the library.

Permanent and Current Settings 5

Some BIOS configuration functions can be used to query or set permanent or current settings. Changes to permanent settings are written to the flash BIOS memory and take affect when you reboot the system. Changes to current settings are written to RAM and take affect when you call the exit function fFJSys_Exit.

BIOS configuration functions that accept the parameter bPermanent can change permanent or current BIOS settings depending on the value passed as described below. (Functions that do not accept the bPermanent parameter affect only permanent settings.)

Session Buffer 5

Changes you make to BIOS parameters are stored in a session buffer when you use BIOS configuration functions included in FJSYS.LIB. For this reason, you must call the fFJSys_Init function to establish the session buffer before you can call any BIOS configuration functions. Once the session buffer is established, any BIOS configuration functions can be called and changes to permanent and current BIOS settings can be made. After all desired changes are made to BIOS options, you must call the FJSys_Exit function and either load or discard the changes stored in the session buffer. This process is outlined below:

1. Establish the session buffer by calling fFJSys_Init.

2. Call any desired BIOS configuration functions in FJSYS.LIB.

3. Exit the session using the FJSys_Exit function and save changes if desired.

Note that after you call the FJSys_Exit function and save or discard your changes, the session buffer is no longer active. In this situation, you must reestablish the session buffer if you are going to make additional BIOS configuration changes.

bPermanent Value Description

0 Set or query current parameter values.

1 Set or query permanent parameter values.

5-1

bReLD Parameter 5

Functions that query BIOS configuration settings accept a parameter named bReLD. This parameter allows you to specify whether the configuration parameter value stored in CMOS RAM or the session buffer is read.

Note: This parameter is used in several different functions in FJSYS.LIB. The values for this parameter are the same for all functions that accept it.

Function Error Codes 5

All functions in FJSYS.LIB return a short integer value. A zero or positive return value indicates that the function is successful or provides the function output (depending on the type of function). Negative return values indicate that an error has occurred as described below:

fFJSys_Init 5

This function reads all BIOS configuration parameter settings and creates a session buffer that holds the configuration data. This function must be called once to establish the session buffer before any BIOS configuration functions included in the FJSYS.LIB can be called. A prototype of the function is given below:

short fFJSys_Init(void);

Return values for this function are the same as those described in “Function Error Codes” later in this chapter.

FJSys_Exit 5

This function either saves or discards changes stored in the session buffer. A prototype of the function is given below:

short fFJSys_Exit(BYTE bSaveSettings);

bReLD value Description

0 Read the value stored in the session buffer.

1 Read the value stored in CMOS RAM.

Return Value Description

0 Function is successful.

-1 Bad parameter passed to function.

-2 Internal error.

-3 BIOS mismatch.

Applications that include functions in FJSYS.LIB must run on a system with a compatible version of the Stylistic 1000 BIOS. Refer to the release notes for the version of FJSYS.LIB that you are using to determine the BIOS revision level required.

5-2 Static Library Functions for MS-DOS Application Development

The bSaveSettings parameter value determines whether BIOS settings stored in the session buffer are saved or discarded as described below:

Return values for this function are the same as those described in “Function Error Codes” earlier in this section.

Programmable Hotpad Function 5

The function fGetHotPad_Status is provided for MS-DOS application developers who need to interface with the programmable hotpad on the Stylistic 1000.

Note: The fGetHotPad_Status function does not use the session buffer. You can call this function at any time without calling the fFJSys_Init or fFJSys_Exit functions.

To interface with the programmable hotpad in 16-bit and 32-bit Windows applications, see “HOTPAD.DLL” in Chapter 6 of this manual.

fGetHotPad_Status 5

This function allows an application to monitor the programmable hotpad on the Stylistic 1000 by periodically polling the function and checking the return value. A prototype of fGetHotPad_Status is shown below.

short fGetHotPad_Status(void);

The value returned by fGetHotPad_Status is a short integer and indicates whether a hotpad event has occurred since the last instance of fGetHotPad_Status as described below:

BIOS Configuration Functions 5

The functions described below query or set BIOS configuration parameters. Functions that include Set in the function name allow you to set BIOS parameters. BIOS configuration functions that include Get in the function name allow you to query BIOS settings and determine how BIOS configuration options are set.

Note: • You must call the fFJSys_Init function before calling any of these functions to establish a session buffer to store the results. See “Session Buffer” earlier in this chapter for details.

• See “bReLD Parameter” earlier in this chapter for a description of the bReLD parameter used in the functions below.

• Some parameters used in functions accept symbols rather than integer values. You must include the header file FJSYS.H in your source code to include the symbol definitions.

bSaveSettings Value Description

FJEXIT_SAVE Write session buffer to CMOS.

FJEXIT_RELOAD_PREV Overwrite the session buffer with configuration data stored in CMOS. (All previous configuration changes are lost.)

FJEXIT_ABORT Close the session without saving changes.


0 Returned if a hotpad event has not occurred since the last instance of fGetHotPad_Status.

1 Returned if a hotpad event has occurred since the last instance of fGetHotPad_Status.

APIs for 16-Bit Windows Applications

This chapter discusses 16-bit Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) included in development libraries for 16-bit Windows applications.

Dynamically Linked Libraries for 16-Bit Application Development 6

The APIs in this chapter are included in Dynamically Linked Libraries (DLLs) and can be called from applications developed in languages that support dynamic linking to DLLs such as C, or Microsoft Visual BASIC. DLLs covered in this chapter include:

• HOTPAD.DLLThis DLL allows applications to interface with the programmable hotpad. (Included with Stylistic 1000 Developer Utilities.)

• ST1SETUP.DLLThis DLL allows applications to configure BIOS options. (Included with Stylistic 1000 Developer Utilities.)

For details on static libraries for use with MS-DOS, refer to Chapter 6. For details on 32-bit libraries for use with Windows 95, refer to Chapter 7.

Note: Functions included in different development libraries (MS-DOS, 16-bit Windows, and 32-bit Windows libraries) will conflict with one another if they run at the same time.

HOTPAD.DLL 6

HOTPAD.DLL includes two functions that allow Windows applications to interface with the programmable hotpad on the Stylistic 1000. The first, SetHotpadNotification, enables hotpad notification. The second, KillHotpadNotification, is used to disable hotpad notification and should be called before the application terminates. Hotpad notification is performed via a message or a callback function and is sent each time a hotpad event occurs (when the programmable hotpad is tapped).

Note: To use this DLL, you must include the header file HOTPAD.H in your source code. HOTPAD.H contains the symbol definitions for symbols used in HOTPAD.DLL.

6-1

SetHotpadNotification 6

A prototype of SetHotpadNotification is shown below:

INT WINAPI _export SetHotpadNotification ( HWND hAppWnd, UNIT nMsgId, FARPROC lpfnNotifyCallback)

This function accepts the following parameters:

Return Value 6

SetHotpadNotification returns a nonzero positive integer that is a unique notification ID. If there is an error, SetHotpadNotification returns a zero or negative value that corresponds to the type of error as described below:

Comments 6

More than one application can call SetHotpadNotification to request notification of hotpad events. Once hotpad notification has been enabled, notification is sent to the calling application each time a hotpad event occurs.

When notification is performed via messages, a message is sent to the calling application using the nMsgId parameter that was originally passed to SetHotpadNotification.

When hotpad notification is performed via a callback function, a callback function is executed using the lpfnNotifyCallback parameter as the callback-function address. The callback function should be declared in the following manner:

void CALLBACK _export HotpadNotifyProc ( )

where HotpadNotifyProc is a placeholder for the application defined function name.

Parameter Description

hAppWnd Handle of the application window that receives the hotpad notification message. (If this argument is NULL, lpfnNotifyCallback must be a valid callback address.)

nMsgId Message ID of the hotpad notification message that will be sent to the calling application window when a hotpad event occurs. (If hAppWnd is not NULL, this parameter is required.)

lpfnNotifyCallback Far pointer to the callback function. This argument is required if hAppWnd is NULL. (If hAppWnd is not NULL, lpfnNotifyCallback is ignored.)


Positive nonzero integer. Hotpad notification ID. SetHotpadNotification assigns a hotpad notification ID number for each occurrence of the SetHotpadNotification function that is a unique ID number. This ID number is valid until notification is turned off using the KillHotpadNotification function. This ID number should be stored for future reference each time SetHotpadNotification is called. This number is a required parameter when hotpad notification is turned off using the KillHotpadNotification function.

0 Memory allocation failure.

-1 Invalid window handle passed as argument.

-2 Could not allocate system timer.

-3 Invalid callback function pointer passed as argument.

6-2 APIs for 16-Bit Windows Applications

KillHotPadNotification 6

The KillHotPadNotification function is used to disable hotpad notification that was enabled using SetHotpadNotification. KillHotPadNotification should be called once for each occurrence of SetHotpadNotification in the application at some point before the application quits. The function prototype for KillHotpadNotification is shown below:

BOOL WINAPI _export KillHotpadNotification ( int nNotifyId )

This function requires the hotpad notification ID value returned by the corresponding SetHotpadNotification function to be passed as the nNotifyId parameter:

Return Value 6

KillHotpadNotification returns a BOOL value as described below:

ST1SETUP.DLL 6

ST1SETUP.DLL is a 16-bit DLL that Windows application developers can use to write programs that configure specific BIOS parameters. This DLL contains Windows APIs for each configurable BIOS parameter.

Note: To use this DLL, you must include the header file ST1SETUP.H in your source code. ST1SETUP.H contains the symbol definitions for parameters in functions that accept symbols.

Permanent and Current Settings 6

Some BIOS configuration functions can be used to query or set permanent or current settings. Changes to permanent settings are written to the flash BIOS memory and take effect when you reboot the system. Changes to current settings are written to RAM and take effect when you call the exit function fFJSys_Exit.

Functions that accept the parameter bPermanent can change permanent or current BIOS settings depending on the value passed as described below. (Functions that do not accept the bPermanent parameter affect only permanent settings.)


nNotifyId Integer value of the hotpad notification ID returned by the corresponding SetHotpadNotification function.


TRUE Returned if the function is successful. The function is successful if the nNotifyId value passed to the function is a valid hotpad notification ID.

FALSE Returned if the function fails. The function fails if the nNotifyId value passed to the function is not a valid hotpad notification ID.


0 Set or query current parameter values.

1 Set or query permanent parameter values.

ST1SETUP.DLL 6-3

Session Buffer 6

Changes you make to BIOS parameters are stored in a session buffer when you use BIOS configuration functions included in ST1SETUP.DLL. For this reason, you must call the fFJSys_Init function to establish the session buffer before you can call any BIOS configuration functions. Once the session buffer is established, any BIOS configuration functions can be called and changes to permanent and current BIOS settings can be made. After all desired changes are made to BIOS options, you must call the FJSys_Exit function and either load or discard the changes stored in the session buffer. This process is outlined below:

1. Establish the session buffer by calling fFJSys_Init.

2. Call any desired BIOS configuration functions in ST1SETUP.DLL.

3. Exit the session using the FJSys_Exit function and save changes if desired.

Note that after you call the FJSys_Exit function and save or discard your changes, the session buffer is no longer active. In this situation, you must reestablish the session buffer if you are going to make additional BIOS configuration changes.

fFJSys_Init 6

This function reads all BIOS configuration parameter settings and creates a session buffer that holds the configuration data. This function must be called once to establish the session buffer before any BIOS configuration functions included in the ST1SETUP.DLL can be called. A prototype of the function is given below:

short WINAPI fFJSys_Init(void);

Return values for this function are the same as those described in “Return Values and Error Codes” later in this chapter.

FJSys_Exit 6

This function either saves or discards changes stored in the session buffer. A prototype of the function is given below:

short fFJSys_Exit(BYTE bSaveSettings);

The bSaveSettings parameter value determines whether BIOS settings stored in the session buffer are saved or discarded as described below:

Note that after this function is executed, the session buffer is no longer active.

bSaveSettings Value Description

FJEXIT_SAVE Write session buffer to CMOS.

FJEXIT_RELOAD_PREV Overwrite the session buffer with configuration data stored in CMOS. (All previous configuration changes are lost.)

FJEXIT_ABORT Close the session without saving changes.


Return Values and Error Codes 6

All of the functions included in ST1SETUP.DLL have the same set of return values. These functions return a signed SHORT integer value that indicate whether the function is successful:

Programmable Hotpad Function 6

The function fGetHotPad_Status is provided for application developers who need to interface with the programmable hotpad on the Stylistic 1000.

Note: • The fGetHotPad_Status function does not use the session buffer. You can call this function at any time without calling the fFJSys_Init or fFJSys_Exit functions.

• You can also use the APIs described in Chapter 4, “Programmable Hotpad,” to interface with the programmable hotpad in 16-bit and 32-bit Windows applications.

fGetHotPad_Status 6

This function allows an application to monitor the programmable hotpad on the Stylistic 1000 by periodically polling the function and checking the return value. A prototype of fGetHotPad_Status is shown below.

short WINAPI fGetHotPad_Status(void);

The value returned by fGetHotPad_Status is a short integer and indicates whether a hotpad event has occurred since the last instance of fGetHotPad_Status as described below:

BIOS Configuration APIs 6

API functions included in ST1SETUP.DLL that configure BIOS parameters are described below. Note that some of these functions can be used to configure either permanent (CMOS) BIOS settings or current BIOS settings.

Note: Some BIOS configuration functions accept symbols as parameters. Symbol definitions are contained in the header file ST1SETUP.H. You must include the header file ST1SETUP.H in your source code to use functions in this DLL.

Chapter 7

APIs for 32-Bit Windows Applications

This chapter discusses 32-bit Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) included with Stylistic 1000 Developer Utilities. These APIs are designed for use with the Windows 95 operating system.

Dynamically Linked Libraries for 32-Bit Application Development 7

The APIs in this chapter are included in Dynamically Linked Libraries (DLLs) and can be called from applications developed in languages that support dynamic linking to DLLs such as C, or Microsoft Visual BASIC. DLLs covered in this chapter include:

• HOTPAD32.DLLThis DLL allows 32-bit applications to interface with the programmable hotpad. (The header file HOTPAD.H must be included in your application source code to use this DLL.)

• ST1SET32.DLLThis DLL allows 32-bit applications to configure BIOS options. Note that this DLL calls into ST1SETUP.DLL. ST1SET32.DLL, ST1SETUP.DLL, and STSET16.DLL (a DLL that enables program calls between the 16-bit and 32-bit DLLs, sometimes called a “thunk” DLL) must be on your hard disk at run time to use applications developed with functions included in ST1SET32.DLL. (The header files ST1SETUP.H and ST1SET32.H must also be included in your application source code.)

These DLLs and related files are included with Stylistic 1000 Developer Utilities. For details on static libraries for use with MS-DOS, refer to Chapter 5. For details on 16-bit libraries for use with Windows for Workgroups, refer to Chapter 6.

Note: Functions included in the development libraries for MS-DOS, 16-bit, and 32-bit applications will conflict with one another if they run in different operating environments at the same time. Use these functions only in the target operating environment.

HOTPAD32.DLL 7

HOTPAD32.DLL is a 32-bit DLL for use with 32-bit applications running under Windows 95. This DLL allows applications to monitor the programmable hotpad on the Stylistic 1000 and receive notification when a hotpad event occurs.

HOTPAD32.DLL includes two functions. The first, SetHotpadNotification, enables hotpad notification. The second, KillHotpadNotification, is used to disable hotpad notification and should be called before the application terminates.

SetHotpadNotification 7

A prototype of the SetHotpadNotification function is shown below:

INT WINAPI SetHotpadNotification ( HWND hAppWnd, UNIT nMsgId )


hAppWnd Handle of the application window that receives the hotpad notification message.

nMsgId Message ID of the hotpad notification message that will be sent to the calling application window when a hotpad event occurs.

7-1

Return Values 7

SetHotpadNotification returns a nonzero positive integer that is a unique notification ID. If there is an error, SetHotpadNotification returns a zero or negative value that corresponds to the type of error as described below:

Comments 7

More than one 32-bit application can call SetHotpadNotification to request notification of hotpad events. Once hotpad notification has been enabled, notification is sent to the calling application each time a hotpad event occurs. Notification is performed via messages. A message is sent to the calling application using the nMsgId parameter that was originally passed to SetHotpadNotification.

KillHotPadNotification 7

The KillHotPadNotification function is used to disable hotpad notification that was enabled using SetHotpadNotification. KillHotPadNotification should be called once for each occurrence of SetHotpadNotification in the application at some point before the application quits. The function prototype for KillHotpadNotification is shown below:

BOOL WINAPI _export KillHotpadNotification ( int nNotifyId )

This function requires the hotpad notification ID value returned by the corresponding SetHotpadNotification function to be passed as the nNotifyId parameter:

Return Value 7

KillHotpadNotification returns a BOOL value as described below:


Positive nonzero integer. Hotpad notification ID. SetHotpadNotification assigns a unique hotpad notification ID number for each occurrence of the SetHotpadNotification function. This ID number is valid until notification is turned off using the KillHotpadNotification function. The notification ID number that is returned should be stored for future reference each time SetHotpadNotification is called. This number is a required parameter when hotpad notification is turned off using the KillHotpadNotification function.

0 Memory allocation failure.

-1 Invalid window handle passed as argument.

-2 Could not allocate system timer.


nNotifyId Integer value of the hotpad notification ID returned by the corresponding SetHotpadNotification function.


TRUE Returned if the function is successful. The function is successful if the nNotifyId value passed to the function is a valid hotpad notification ID.

FALSE Returned if the function fails. The function fails if the nNotifyId value passed to the function is not a valid hotpad notification ID.


ST1SET32.DLL 7

ST1SET32.DLL is a 32-bit DLL that Windows application developers can use to write programs that configure Stylistic 1000 BIOS parameters.

Note: Some parameters used with functions in this DLL are documented using symbols. You must include the header file ST1SET32.H in your source code to provide the required symbol definitions.

Session Buffer 7

Changes you make to BIOS parameters are stored in a session buffer when you use BIOS configuration functions included in ST1SET32.DLL. For this reason, you must call the SetupInitialize function to establish the session buffer before you can call any BIOS configuration functions. Once the session buffer is established, any BIOS configuration functions can be called and changes to permanent and current BIOS settings can be made. After all desired changes are made to BIOS options, you must call the SetupExit function and either load or discard the changes stored in the session buffer. This process is outlined below:

1. Establish the session buffer by calling SetupInitialize.

2. Call any desired BIOS configuration functions in ST1SET32.DLL.

3. Exit the session using the SetupExit function and save changes if desired.

Note that after you call the SetupExit function and save or discard your changes, the session buffer is no longer active. In this situation, you must reestablish the session buffer if you are going to make additional BIOS configuration changes.

SetupInitialize 7

The SetupInitialize function initializes the session buffer and should be the first function called when using this DLL. Once this function has been called, other functions included in the DLL can be used. A prototype of this function is shown below:

int WINAPI SetupInitialize ( );

This function returns a signed SHORT integer value that indicates whether the function is successful as described in “Return Values and Error Codes” later in this chapter.

below.

SetupExit 7

The SetupExit function should be called after the application is finished using ST1SET32.DLL. This will free up memory allocated to the DLL and ensure that the Stylistic 1000 BIOS parameters are properly stored. A prototype of SetupExit is shown below.

int WINAPI SetupExit (WORD wSetupParam);



-2 Internal error.

ST1SET32.DLL 7-3

This function closes ST1SET32.DLL and, depending on the value passed as a parameter, saves or discards changes made using other functions in ST1SET32.DLL as described below:

Return Values and Error Codes 7

All of the functions included in ST1SET32.DLL have the same set of return values. These functions return a signed SHORT integer value that indicate whether the function is successful:

BIOS Configuration Functions 7

Functions that configure BIOS parameters are described below.

GetPermanent and SetPermanent 7

The GetPermanent and SetPermanent functions are used to query permanent BIOS parameters and set permanent BIOS parameters respectively.

Prototypes of the GetPermanent and SetPermanent functions are shown below.

int WINAPI GetPermanent (WORD wSetupParam);

int WINAPI SetPermanent (WORD wSetupParam, WORD wValue);

The GetPermanent function accepts one parameter that corresponds to the BIOS parameter being requested. The SetPermanent function accepts two parameters: the first corresponds to the BIOS parameter and the second corresponds to the BIOS parameter setting or value.

Table 7-1 lists the wSetupParam parameter value and the corresponding BIOS setting for the GetPermanent and SetPermanent functions. These BIOS parameters are exclusively for permanent BIOS settings. The GetPermanent and SetPermanent functions can also be used with the parameter values listed in Table 7-2.

Also listed in Tables 7-1 and 7-2 are the acceptable values for the wValue parameter used in the SetPermanent function that correspond to each BIOS setting. (Note that these values are also the return values for the GetPermanent function.)

wSetupParam Value Description

SETUP_EXIT_SAVE Save both permanent and current BIOS settings configured since the last occurrence of the SetupInitialize function.

SETUP_EXIT_RELOAD Reload permanent settings saved by SetupInitialize(). (Changes to current settings are still used.)

SETUP_EXIT_CANCEL Changes to permanent settings are not saved. (Original settings are not reloaded. Changes to current settings are still used.)



-1 Bad parameter passed to function.

-2 Internal error.

STPENSET BIOS Configuration Utility

STPENSET is a utility that runs under MS-DOS that you can use to change system configuration settings for the Stylistic 1000. STPENSET runs under MS-DOS with a menu-driven interface. You can also execute STPENSET as an MS-DOS command line interpreter using command line options. For details on command line syntax and options, see “STPENSET Command Line Interpreter” later in this chapter.

Starting STPENSET 9

To start STPENSET, type STPENSET at the MS-DOS prompt and press Enter. The following STPENSET menus are displayed:

• Boot options• Devices• Power savings • Other• Exit

STPENSET supports the stylus and keyboard as input devices. Use the arrow keys on your keyboard, or tap on individual items with the stylus, to move from one menu to another and select items in menus. To change a parameter that you have selected, press the dash key (-) on your keyboard or tap on the parameter field with the stylus.

Some options in STPENSET allow you to change permanent or current settings. Changes to current settings become active when you exit STPENSET, and remain in effect until you reboot the system. Changes to permanent settings are written to CMOS RAM and take effect when you reboot your system. Options that are not designated as permanent or current take effect when the system is rebooted.

Boot Options Menu 9

The boot options menu in STPENSET allows you to select the following options when your system boots.

• Boot sequenceThis option allows you to specify your system’s boot drive sequence. You can configure your system to search for bootable system files first on the ATA hard disk drive [C: then A:], or on the external floppy drive [A: then C:]. As a security precaution, you can also specify [C: only] for the boot sequence. This prevents the system from booting from an external floppy drive.

• Setup promptWhen this option is enabled, the PenSETUP prompt is displayed during system initialization allowing you to double-tap on the screen to enter PenSETUP. If this option is disabled, you must attach a keyboard and press F2 during system initialization to enter PenSETUP. You may want to disable this option to prevent users from accidentally entering PenSETUP.

• STPENSETPOST (Power-On Self-Test) errorsThis option allows you to determine whether power-on self-test error messages are displayed. If you enable this option, system initialization halts in the event of a POST error, and an error message is displayed. If this option is disabled, the system continues with the initialization sequence (if possible) in the event of an error, and no error messages are displayed. You may want to disable this option if false RAM errors or other inconsequential errors are confusing to system users.

9-1

• Summary ScreenIf this option is enabled, a summary screen is displayed during system initialization showing your system’s hardware configuration.

• NumlockThis option allows you to configure the initial state of the keyboard numlock. If this option is set to auto, the system determines whether a standard 101-key keyboard is connected; if so, numlock is turned on. Note that the Fujitsu low-power keyboard emulates a 101-key keyboard and will turn numlock on if this option is set to auto.

Devices Menu 9

In the devices menu, you select the I/O address and Interrupt Request (IRQ) level for the serial and parallel communications ports. The IRQ and I/O address settings you select must be unique for each port.

Power Savings Menu 9

The power savings menu allows you to configure system functions that consume power and tailor the system to your battery life and performance needs.

Power Savings Field 9

Options in the power savings field allow you to select the system power saving mode. In this field, you can select: [Off] to disable all power saving options, [Maximum Performance] to enter default power saving options, [Maximum Battery Life] to enter minimum device timeouts and enable CPU idle mode, or you can select [Customize] to create custom settings. When you select customize you can change parameters in the following fields:

• Hard disk timeout• Video timeout• Auto suspend timeout• CPU idle mode• Standby timeout

Each of these options is described below.

Hard Disk Timeout Field 9

The hard disk timeout field allows you to specify the amount of time with no hard disk drive activity that elapses before the hard disk is spun down.

Video Timeout Field 9

The video timeout field allows you to specify the amount of time that elapses with no system activity before the display is turned off.

Auto Suspend Timeout Field 9

The auto suspend timeout field allows you to specify the amount of time that elapses with no system activity before the system unit enters the suspend state.

CPU Idle Mode Field 9

When the CPU idle mode field is set to [Enabled] the system runs at a slow processor speed (50MHz) when the processor is idle (not processing data). When there is processor activity, the processor speed switches to 100MHz. Note that if the CPU speed field is set to slow, the processor will run at 50MHz at

9-2 STPENSET BIOS Configuration Utility

all times regardless of the CPU idle mode setting. (Table 9-1 shows the CPU speed for each possible setting of these options.)

Standby Timeout Field 9

The standby timeout option specifies the amount of time that elapses with no system activity before the system enters the standby state. In the standby state, the system is running, the display backlight is turned off, the CPU is running at slow speed (50MHz), the hard disk drive is spun down, and RAM is powered.

Suspend Mode Field 9

There are two suspend modes that you can select: [Suspend] and [Save to Disk]. The suspend setting configures the system to preserve data in memory by keeping memory refreshed. The save to disk setting configures the system to preserve data in memory by writing the data to a save-to-disk partition or file on your hard disk drive. Note that a save-to-disk partition or file must be created on your hard disk drive before you can use Save to Disk mode. For details see Chapter 3, “Save to Disk”.

CPU Speed Field 9

The CPU speed field allows you to select a processor speed of fast (100MHz), or slow (50MHz). Note that setting this field to slow overrides the CPU idle mode setting in the power savings menu. Table 9-1 shows the processor speed for each possible combination of settings in the CPU idle mode and CPU speed fields.

Table 9-1. Processor Speed

Resume on Modem Ring Field 9

This field allows you to configure the system to resume if the modem line rings. Select [Serial Port A] if the modem is connected to the RS-232 serial port. Select [PCMCIA Card] if you have a PCMCIA modem card installed in your system.

Resume on Time Field 9

This field allows you to set a specific time of day that you want the system to resume. When this field is set to on, the system will resume at the time specified in the resume time field. Note that the system uses a 24-hour clock.

HDD Head Retract Field 9

This field allows you to set the hard disk drive head retract timeout. This timeout specifies the amount of time that elapses with no hard disk drive activity before the head is retracted from the platter. Setting this timeout to a short interval could enhance the reliability of your hard disk drive as the drive is less susceptible to damage from shock and vibration when the head is retracted.

Power Savings Menu 9-3

Other Menu 9

The other menu allows you to select hard disk boot sector options and hot-pad access options as described below.

Hard Disk Boot Sector Field 9

The hard disk boot sector setting determines whether the boot sector on your ATA hard disk drive is write protected. Select write protect to prevent the hard disk drive boot sector from being overwritten. This setting will help prevent viruses from infecting your hard disk drive’s boot sector. Select normal to allow data to be written to the boot sector.

Note: The hard disk boot sector option must be set to [Normal] before you can upgrade or install operating system software. You can’t format the hard disk boot sector if this parameter is set to [Write Protect]. Write protecting your hard disk drive’s boot sector does not protect the entire hard disk volume from viruses.

Hotpad Access Field 9

The hotpad access field allows you to enable or disable the hotpads on the system unit.

STPENSET Command Line Interpreter 9

STPENSET can be executed as a command line interpreter using command line options. This allows you to include STPENSET commands in a batch file and initialize the system to a known state when you boot the system or run a particular application. You can also change STPENSET parameters by typing the STPENSET command at the MS-DOS prompt followed by command line options.

Syntax 9

STPENSET is executed with command line options using the following syntax,

STPENSET setting [ parameter =value ]

where the setting is one of the following:

You must specify a setting to use STPENSET with command line options.

Options are specified in the command line by the parameter and value. Parameter and value entries for each STPENSET option are listed in Table 9-2. You can enter as many STPENSET options on a single command line as desired.

Example 9

The following example changes the current and permanent speaker settings to [On].

stpenset both spk=y

To display a list of command line options, type STPENSET ? at the MS-DOS prompt and press Return.

Setting Description

CMOS Changes permanent settings (in CMOS RAM) that take effect when you reboot the system.

CURR Changes settings for the current session only.BOTH Changes settings for the current session only.

MFGCONF BIOS Configuration Utility

MFGCONF is a program that configures permanent (CMOS) BIOS settings. This program runs under MS-DOS from the command line or as an entry in a batch file.

MFGCONF Command Line Syntax 10

The MFGCONF command uses the following syntax:

MFGCONF KEYWORD=VALUE

where the KEYWORD and VALUE options define the CMOS parameter setting as described in Table 10-1. Any number of CMOS parameters can be included on the MFGCONF command line by separating each KEYWORD=VALUE entry with a comma and a space as shown in the example below.

MFGCONF BOOT=CA, PRMPT=Y

MFGCONF is executed by a carriage return following the KEYWORD=VALUE entries.

Note: Keyword and value entries can be listed in any order except for entries that customize power savings mode and ATA hard disk options. See the footnotes at the end of Table 10-1 for details.

MFGCONF Help Screen 10

The MFGCONF help screen displays a list of CMOS settings and acceptable values. To display the MFGCONF help screen, type the MFGCONF command followed by one of the following options: H, /H, ?, /?. For example, each of the following commands displays the MFGCONF help screen:

MFGCONF H

MFGCONF /H

MFGCONF ?

MFGCONF /?

Caution

Do not press the reset or suspend button while MFGCONF is executing. Doing so will cause an invalid CMOS checksum.

If a reset does occur during MFGCONF execution, however, default CMOS values are loaded. In this event, you must run MFGCONF (or any other BIOS configuration utility) again to restore any custom CMOS settings.
