PCC-10 Introduction
This guide describes the mechanical characteristics and the
hardware and software driver installation for the PCC-10 Network
Adapter and the LonManager
®
PCC-10 Protocol Analyzer card.
Except where noted, the term “PCC-10 card” used in this guide refers
to both cards.
The PCC-10 Network Adapter is a high-performance interface that is
ideal for building portable installation, maintenance, monitoring and
control tools. Its compact form-factor and integral FT-10 free
topology transceiver make it well suited for use by installation and
service personnel of industrial automation, building controls,
entertainment/lighting systems, and telecommunication systems.
The PCC-10 Network Adapter provides both network interface
functionality (for use with LonManager API based tools) and network
services interface (NSI) functionality (for use with LNS-compliant
tools). It can be used with any laptop, palmtop, or embedded PC with
a Type II PC Card (formerly PCMCIA) slot and a compatible
operating system.
