PCLTA-21 PCI Interface User’s Guide

The path may be modified using the Browse button; however, if a directory other

than c:\lonworks is chosen, the PCLTA-21 images path will have to

be specified to enable use of the PCLTA-21 card. This is accomplished

during PCLTA-21 Configuration. See Chapter 3, Configuring and Testing

the PCLTA-21 Adapter.

7. There is a limit of six (6) PCLTA-21 cards in a single PC.

8. The installation software for the Windows 2000 and XP versions will issue a

prompt to add a DOS virtual-mode device driver file to the DOS CONFIG.NT file

(to support DOS applications) called LON1. This will allow DOS applications to

be used in a Windows 2000 or XP DOS shell/window. For more information see

Virtual-Mode DOS Driver later in this chapter. The following line is added to the

CONFIG.NT file:

DEVICE=%SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\PCLTDOS.SYS /D1

The argument /D1 names this DOS device as LON1.

9. Software installation is complete. At the prompt to restart the computer, remove

the PCLTA-21 installation CD, turn off power, install the PCLTA-21 card, and

then reboot the computer. Windows will recognize the PCLTA-21 and complete

the installation.

Windows 98 Software Installation Procedure

To install the PCLTA-21 software on a Windows 98 PC, follow the instructions below.

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

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

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

unusable until the software is removed, and then reinstalled.
