Installing the PCLTA-20 Adapter

PCLTA-20 Adapter Software Installation

There are two versions of the PCLTA-20 installation software, one for Windows

95/98, and one for Windows NT. Each version installs the files required by the

associated Windows operating system to recognize the PCLTA-20 adapter, as well as

the downloadable NSI and MIP images.

Therefore, installation of the software must occur before insertion of the

PCLTA-20 adapter into a PC’s PCI slot

The PCLTA-20 software can support DOS applications via the DOS virtual device

driver, however, this requires that the PC be running Windows 95, 98, or NT – the

DOS virtual device driver does not work on PCs running only DOS. The default

mode of operation is as an LNS network services interface (NSI); the MIP mode

image may be enabled through the driver software control panel.

Windows 95/98 Software Installation Procedure

To install the PCLTA-20 software on a Windows 95/98 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 into a PCI slot at this time.

2. Insert the installation diskette into the PC.

3. Click the Start button on the Windows 95/98 task bar 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 which 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

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 adapter. This is accomplished
