PCLTA-20 Card Hardware Installation
!
ESD Warning
This product contains devices which are sensitive to static electricity. Before
installing or removing the PCLTA-20 card or the network cables, discharge any
static electricity which may have accumulated to earth ground.
1. Turn off the PC and remove the power cord.
2. Open the PC case and locate an empty 32-bit PCI slot. Remove the corresponding
blank panel from the rear of the PC. Set aside the screw.
3. Insert the PCLTA-20 card into the slot, ensuring that the edge connectors are fully
mated and the slot in the rear panel mounting lug of the PCLTA-20 card is aligned
with the threaded hole in the PC chassis.
If using a Model 74405 PCLTA-20/SMX Interface, or a Model 33100-20 PCLTA-20
Protocol Analyzer, insert the SMX transceiver in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions before installing the PCLTA-20—see the LONWORKS
®
SMX™
Transceiver Installation Instructions document 078-0145-01 version D or later if
using an Echelon SMX transceiver. The height of the PLM-10, PLM-2X, and
PLM-30 Power Line SMX Transceivers is such that two (2) PCI slots must
be allocated for a PCLTA-20 equipped with a PLM transceiver, even though
the card will be plugged into only one slot.
4. Replace the screw to hold the PCLTA-20 card firmly in place.
5. Reinsert the power cord and then restart the PC. A New Hardware Found window
will be displayed briefly when Windows recognizes the PCLTA-20 card.
Troubleshooting
As a plug-and-play device, the PCLTA-20 card should operate as desired following
completion of the installation process. If the card does not function correctly, the most
likely causes are system resource constraints or software incompatibilities. These
problems are described in detail in the following sections.
