PCLTA-20 control panel is divided into three parts: a device
selection area, a general settings area, and a control section. The device selection
area contains configuration settings and diagnostic controls that are specific to an
individual PCLTA-20 adapter and its device driver. The general settings area
contains settings for all PCLTA-20 adapters used with the PC. The control section
contains buttons for accepting or canceling the changes made in the control panel, as
well as a Help button.
PCLTA-20 Initialization
In most cases, PCLTA-20 adapter initialization occurs automatically upon
installation of the adapter card and subsequent power-up of the computer. Manual
initialization will be required following software installation to a directory other
than
c:\lonworks
, or following the moving of the PCLTA-20 system images.
To manually initialize the PCLTA-20 adapter, verify that the control panel’s System
Image Path entry is correct, then click the Apply button.
An error will be reported if an attempt is made to view the transceiver type before
the PCLTA-20 adapter is initialized. Testing the card with the Diagnostics button,
as suggested by the error message, produces the diagnosis: “Image file not found.”
In this case, return to the control panel’s main dialog box and manually initialize the
PCLTA-20 adapter.
