Installing the PCLTA-20 Card
PCLTA-20 Card Software Installation
There are three versions of the PCLTA-20 installation software, one for Windows
95/98/Me, one for Windows NT, and one for Windows 2000. Each version installs the
files required by the associated Windows operating system to recognize the PCLTA-20
card, as well as the downloadable LNS, protocol analyzer, and MIP images.
PCC-10 Card Software Installation
!
Installation of the PCLTA-20 software must precede insertion of
a PCLTA-20 card into a PCI slot.
Failure to install the software before inserting the card will render
the card unusable until the software is removed, and then
reinstalled.
The installation process is as follows:
1. If you have purchased the LonManager PCLTA-20 Protocol Analyzer, install
the protocol analyzer applications following the instructions provided in the
LonManager Protocol Analyzer User’s Guide.
You cannot use the
LonManager ISA Protocol Analyzer card and a PCLTA-20 card in the same
PC.
2. If you have purchased a LonMaker Integration Tool, LNS DDE Server, or LNS
Application Development Kit, install the software as described in the
documentation included with the software. Select the option to install the
PCLTA-20 driver. If you do not have one of these products, install the PCLTA-
20 driver software as described below.
3. Insert the PCLTA-20 card, as described later in this chapter.
Note: If the
L
ON
W
ORKS Protocol Analyzer software is installed
after
installing the
PCLTA-20 card software, the PCLTA-20 card software must be re-installed.
The PCLTA-20 software can support DOS applications via the DOS virtual device
driver. The default mode of operation is as an LNS network interface; the LonManager
API-compatible MIP mode image may be enabled through the driver software control
panel.
