Installing the PCLTA-21 Card

PCLTA-21 Card Software Installation

There are two versions of the PCLTA-21 installation software, one for Windows

2000 and XP and one for Windows 98. Each version installs the files required by

the associated Windows operating system to recognize the PCLTA-21 card, as

well as the downloadable LNS and MIP images.

Windows 2000 and XP Software Installation Procedure

To install the PCLTA-21 software on a Windows 2000 or XP PC, follow the

instructions below. The PCLTA-21 software cannot be installed from DOS or a

DOS shell. The PCLTA-21 software can support DOS applications via the DOS

virtual device driver. The default mode of operation is as an LNS high

performance network interface; the LonManager API-compatible MIP mode

image may be enabled through the driver software control panel.

Installation of the PCLTA-21 software MUST precede insertion of a

PCLTA-21 card into a PCI slot.

Failure to install the software before inserting the card will render the card

unusable until the software is removed, and then reinstalled.

1. Close all open programs.

2. Insert the installation CD into the PC.

3. Open the Windows Start menu and select the Run command.

4. When prompted for a program name, enter the following:

E:Win2K-XP\SETUP.EXE (where E: represents your CD ROM)

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

ONWORKS

products have been installed and registered a different path in the

Windows Registry.
