If the computer was rebooted after installation of the software, insert the PCC-10
card into an open PC Card slot. Otherwise, reboot the computer before insertion.
The device driver for the PCC-10 card is not loaded until the first PCC-10 card is
discovered. Likewise, when the last PCC-10 card is removed, the device driver is
unloaded, thus freeing any system resources it was using.
Each PCC-10 card requires a single, dedicated interrupt request (IRQ) and four
contiguous bytes of I/O address space starting on a modulo-4-based address.
Removal of a PCC-10 card while an application is using the card will result in a
loss of communication with the device, which cannot be restored by re-inserting
the card. Some applications will display unusual behavior, and will not properly
function. Any application using the PCC-10 card must be restarted if a PCC-10
card has been removed to ensure proper operation of the device and software.
The first time a PCC-10 card is inserted into a running PC, a window will appear
with the words “Echelon Corp.-PCC-10.” Another window will appear stating
that the Windows operating system is building a new database from the device
information installed by the PCC-10 installation diskette. The PCC-10 can be
configured when the PC has finished writing the device information.
