Installing the PCLTA-20 Adapter

Windows 95/98 Virtual-Mode DOS Driver Installation Results

The Windows 95 PCLTA-20 adapter installation software will prompt the installer to

automatically add the virtual-mode DOS driver. This driver is small in size, and

allows a DOS session under Windows to have access to the PCLTA-20 through the

device driver running as a part of Windows. The driver will not function unless a

Windows session is running and the PCLTA-20 device driver is installed.

The following line will be added to the

CONFIG.SYS

file:

DEVICE=<

directory of file>

\LDVVDD.SYS /Dn /Ln

n where (n) is 1-9. This defines LON1-LON9 and corresponds to devices 1-9

as determined by the PCLTA-20 adapter device driver under Windows.

This parameter is optional; the default is “1”.

/Ln where (n) is 1-9. This defines the

logical

device 1-9 as determined by the

PCLTA-20 adapter device driver under Windows. This parameter is

optional, the default is the value determined by the /Dn parameter. This

allows overriding the actual device accessed from being based on the /Dn

parameter.

For example, using /D9 /L1 will in fact create a DOS driver named LON9 that will

actually access the 1st PCLTA-20 in the system. Without the /L1 parameter you

would access the 9th device, as determined by the /D9 option. These options are

typically needed when more than one LonWorks network interface is present in the

system.

Windows NT Virtual-Mode DOS Driver Installation Results

The Windows NT PCLTA-20 adapter installation software will prompt the installer

to automatically add the virtual-mode DOS driver. This driver is small in size, and

allows a DOS session under Windows to have access to the PCLTA-20 through the

device driver running as a part of Windows. The driver will not function unless a

Windows session is running and the PCLTA-20 device driver is installed.

The following line will be added to the system32 folder under the WinNT system

directory:

DEVICE=<

directory of file

>\PCLTDOS.SYS /Dn

n where (n) is 1-9. This defines LON1-LON9 and corresponds to devices 1-9

as determined by the PCLTA-20 adapter device driver under Windows.

The following is an example of the line that would be added to the

CONFIG.NT

file:

DEVICE=C:\LONWORKS\BIN\PCLTDOS.SYS /D1
