2-6 Installing the PCC-10 Card
however, if a directory other than c:\lonworks is chosen, the PCC-10 images
path will have to be specified to enable use of the PCC-10 card. This is
accomplished during PCC-10 Configuration. See Chapter 3, Configuring the
PCC-10 Card.
7. To access the PCC-10 card, the “PCCLONn” network interface naming
convention must be used, rather than the “LONn” naming convention used with
other Echelon products. Use of this convention will direct the software to use
the PCC-10 card device driver under Windows rather than attempting to
access the device under DOS.
The installation software will issue a prompt to add references to the DOS
CONFIG.SYS file to support ‘stub’ device drivers named PCCLON1 and
PCCLON2. This will allow 16-bit Windows applications to recognize these
device names and use the PCC-10 card as a network interface. If the PC has
more than two PC Card slots, two additional stub device 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 four (4) PCC-10 cards on a single PC.
Once this driver is installed and active, applications can access the PCC-10
card using the 16-bit API for Windows.
The installation software installs a new WLDV.DLL file, replacing any pre-
existing versions of the file. The updated WLDV.DLL is fully backward-
compatible with previous versions.
8. If the installation software discovers the SYSTEM.INI entry that loads the
ISA-bus driver, ECHLMPA.386, it will comment out the entry and display the
message, “SETUP has modified your SYSTEM.INI file by removing the
following entry: device=echlmpa.386.” It is not possible to use the ISA-bus
protocol analyzer card and the PCC-10 card on the same PC.
9. Installation is complete. At the prompt to restart the computer, remove the
PCC-10 installation diskette and restart the computer. Note that Windows
will not recognize the PCC-10 card until the computer is restarted.
The card and socket services of the following vendors have been tested with
standard PCs and the PCC-10 card: American Megatrends’ AMICARDZ,
Award Software’s CardWare, IBM’s PlayAtWill, Phoenix Technology’s PCM3+,
and SystemSoft’s CardSoft.
Microsoft DOS Software Installation Procedure
There are two versions of the DOS driver—both of which will allow the PCC-10
Card to be used with DOS-based products, like the LonMaker™ Installation Tool.
This driver does not support Windows applications, like the LonManager
Protocol
Analyzer. One version will allow the PCC-10 Card to be used with DOS-based
