                        SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

The  system configuration  menu sets up the  LBB program to  work with 
your computer,  the  LBB Dialer Board  or a modem,  and the telephone.
Moving through the menu is simple.   Use the up and down arrow keys or 
the space  bar to  highlight the answer  to one of  the questions.  To
change  a default  answer, use  the right and left arrows.  All of the
available choices for each question can be seen above the function key
boxes.  When an answer is correct, simply press the return key.   When 
all of the  questions  have been  answered to your satisfaction, press
[F9] (DONE).   This will  return you  to the  main menu  where you can
press [F1] (EXIT TO DOS) or select another menu item.

The changes that you have made in the system configuration will become
effective when you exit to DOS.

SEE SECTION 2 (CONFIGURATION) IN THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR ADDITIONAL
DETAILS.

Does your computer have a color monitor?

If it does,  change the answer with the left arrow key.   If not,  hit
the return key.   If you have a computer (like a Compaq) that displays
monochrome graphics, the answer should remain NO.

Is your printer installed as LPT 1, 2, or 3?

If you only  use one  printer with  your PC,  leave the default answer
(LPT 1).  If you have more than one printer, you need to tell the pro-
gram which one you want to use for printing out your phone directory.

What kind of printer are you using?

The options are IBM cmptbl (compatible),  Oki std. (Okidata standard),
Letter Quality  and Other.   Note that  IBM compatible also covers the
Epson dot matrix printer and IBM compatible models in the Okidata line
as well as other  IBM type printers.   If you choose IBM or  Oki std.,
both dot matrix printers,  the necessary printer control codes will be
sent to your printer at print time to print The Little Black Book just
as you want it.   If you choose  Letter Quality  or Other,  The Little
Black Book  will format  your printer  output with the  type pitch you
select from the printing menu.   However,  it is up to you to set your
printer to print in the type pitch for which  The Little Black Book is
formatted.  See your printer manual for information on your particular
printer.

Is your phone tone or rotary?

The options here are TONE or ROTARY.   Tone is usually associated with
a keypad on your  phone that sends different tones for the numbers you
press.   Rotary is  the old  "clicking"  method of dialing.   Don't be
misled;  some of the new  phones have push buttons but still make that
"clicking" sound. These are rotary phones.

Hook Flash duration (in seconds)?

A Hook Flash is a signal that you can  produce by momentarily depress-
ing the  buttons that the handset  normally rests on.   For home tele-
phones,  this does nothing.   In an office  this is used  to get  your
phone system's  attention so that you can do special functions such as
transfer or call forward.   Almost all systems will use the 0.5 second
default.  Give it a try, it is very easy to change if necessary. Note:
hook flash works only with the  Dialer Board Accessory;  modems do not
support this feature.



What area code table should be loaded?

LBB has  a handy  feature that allows you to find an area  code if you
know the  city or to find a city if you know its area code.  The chart 
can be loaded either Alphabetic  (look up the city), Numeric  (look up
the area codes), or Not Loaded at all.

What kind of dialing equipment is installed?

What  hardware will the LBB software be using to connect to your phone
line? If you do not have either the Dialer Board or a Hayes compatible
modem then select "nothing".

If "nothing" is selected, you will not be able to make calls using the
LBB  software.   You can  use LBB  as a  quick reference  to 400 phone 
numbers as well as to print your personalized phone directory.

If you select the Dialer or modem options,  one more  question will be
asked.  The question is different for the Dialer or the modem.

DIALER

Is your board set for position 0 or 1?

There is a blue "jumper" on the Dialer board.   It comes from the fac-
tory set at 0 (zero).   Unless you have changed the blue jumper answer
this question with 0.  See appendix A of the manual for more details.



MODEM

Which port is your modem connected to?

Modems are  connected to one of two serial ports  (COM-1 or COM-2)  on
your computer.   We need to know which port your modem is on.   If you
are not sure, read the information in Appendix C of the manual.
