Windows 95/98/Me Software Installation Procedure
To install the PCLTA-20 software on a Windows 95/98/Me PC, follow the instructions
below. The PCLTA-20 software cannot be installed from DOS or a DOS shell.
1. Close all open programs. Do not insert the PCLTA-20 card into a PCI slot at this
time.
2. Insert the installation diskette into the PC.
3. Open the Windows Start menu and select the Run command.
4. When prompted for a program name, enter the following:
a:SETUP.EXE
If necessary, replace a: with the drive letter that corresponds to the drive containing
the PCLTA-20 installation diskette.
5. When prompted with a list of languages, click on the desired language. A
checkmark will appear to the left of the language to be installed.
6. When prompted for a destination directory, enter the desired installation directory.
By default this directory is
c:\lonworks
, unless previous L
ON
W
ORKS
products
have been installed and registered a different path in the Windows Registry. The
path may be modified using the Browse button; however, if a directory other than
c:\lonworks
is chosen, the PCLTA-20 images path will have to be specified to
enable use of the PCLTA-20 card. This is accomplished during PCLTA-20
Configuration. See Chapter 3,
Configuring and Testing the PCLTA-20 Adapter
.
7. When the 16-bit Application Support prompt appears, select “Yes” to enable the use
of 16-bit applications with the PCLTA-20 card. This option is required for the
PCLTA-20 Protocol Analyzer, but is not required for the LonMaker Integration Tool,
LNS DDE Server, LNS Application Developer’s Kit, or other LNS applications.
This causes the installation program to add references to the DOS
CONFIG.SYS
file
for the stub device drivers named
PCCLON1
and
PCCLON2
. This allows existing 16-
bit applications to recognize these device names and use the PCLTA-20 card as a
network interface. If more than two PCLTA-20 cards are installed in the PC,
additional stub drivers can be created manually. To do so, add the following lines to
the
CONFIG.SYS
file:
DEVICE=C:\LONWORKS\BIN\LDVSTUB.SYS /D:PCCLON3
DEVICE=C:\LONWORKS\BIN\LDVSTUB.SYS /D:PCCLON4
There is a limit of six (6) PCLTA-20 cards in a single PC.
