Page 16: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting As a plug-and-play device, the PCLTA-21 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. - Page 17 The PCLTA-21 L Network Interface device icon is found under the ORKS Interface device type. If there is a problem with the card, there ORKS will be a red circle with an exclamation point next to its icon. IRQ resource problems may generally be resolved by disabling another device in the system.
