Do You Have Any of the Following Third-Party Plug-and-Play PC
Card Controller Software?

With certain third-party plug-and-play software packages, two
PCD cards can be used at the same time. To determine if your
system will support two PCD cards, install two cards and
configure the PCD driver in RSLinx (select
Communications

Configure Drivers). If your system

supports two cards, you will see two serial numbers as shown
in this excerpt from the RSLinx PCD Driver Configuration
Screen.

Native NT (with no third-party plug-and-play software
installed) supports one PCD card at a time.

TIP

To find the version of your third-party plug-and-play software,
you can usually do the following:

1. Double-click the PC card icon.

2. When a dialog box appears, click Help
