Installing the PCLTA-20 Hardware
1. Turn off the computer and remove the power cord.
2. Open the computer case and locate an empty 32-bit PCI slot. Remove the corresponding blank
panel from the rear of the computer. 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
computer chassis. If you are 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 L
ON W ORKS ®
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.
Configuring the PCLTA-20 Network interface
Once the PCLTA-20 hardware has been installed, you must load the PCC10VNNI firmware image to
the PCLTA-20 device. Configure the PCLTA-20 device in the same manner as described in
Configuring the PCLTA-10 Network interface.
Installing and Configuring the PCC-10 Network
Interface
The following section describes how to install and configure the hardware for the PCC-10 network
interface. The driver software is installed automatically when you install the LonMaker tool. Make
sure the driver is installed before installing the PCC-10 card and then configuring it.
Installing the PCC-10 Card Hardware
The PCC-10 card conforms to the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association’s
(PCMCIA) standard for hot plug-in. The PCC-10 card will not be harmed if it is inserted into, or
removed from, a PC Card slot that conforms to this standard, whether the computer is on or off. In
addition, the PCC-10 card is recognized as an Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) Listed Accessory and
is designed to be used with UL Listed equipment.
Do not force the insertion of a PCC-10 card. You can only insert the PCC-10 card one way into a PC
Card slot. The keyed notches prevent the card from being inserted upside down. If you reboot the
computer after installing the software, insert the PCC-10 card into an open PC Card slot. Otherwise,
reboot the computer before inserting the card.
