Page 10: Installation
Setting the I/O Addresses Both the Easylon ISA-Bus Interface and the Easylon PC/104 Interface are as- signed four I/O addresses on the ISA bus of the PC. The base address of this I/O range is set via DIP switches (cf. Figure 1-1, (7) and Figure 1-2, (6)). Before set- ting the base address, establish which address range is available on your comput- er in its current configuration. -
Page 11: Insertion Of The Card
Insertion of the Card Prior to inserting the interface cards read the Mounting instructions enclosed in the delivery. When inserting the Easylon ISA-Bus Interface card or the Easylon PC/104 card in your computer, please be sure to observe all the computer manu- facturer's instructions regarding the insertion of additional interface cards. -
Page 12: Installation Of The Network Driver
Furthermore there are drivers for Win- dows CCE, Linux and MS-Dos. Latest driver versions you can downloadvia the Easylon Support pages of our web site: www.gesytec.com. Installation is described in the following sections: Windows operating systems chapter 2.3.1... - Page 13 However, this may require stepping through up to 15 dialog boxes. If you are using this method anyway, please select the setup file „LpcWdm.inf“ and the „Gesytec LPC WDM Driver ISA/PC-104“ driver. One advantage you will get using this method: resource selection will be made during the installation procedure.

Page 19: Windows Ce Driver
To use an Easylon Interface card as device named LON1 with the base address 0x340 and interrupt IRQ 10 (=0x0A hex) you have to add following in the file „Lpcdrv.reg“: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Gesytec\Lpcdrv\LON1] "IoBase" = dword:0340 "Irq" = dword:a The .reg file is provided in the Windows CE driver directory. -
Page 20: Use As Built In Driver
A main functionality of Windows CE driver support is to be able to register a driver several times. This driver will handle several devices in parallel. However, this release of the Gesytec LonWorks network driver for Windows CE does not support this mechanism! As a workaround you have to copy and rename the driver, e.g. -

ISA-Bus Interface User Manual Installation The driver can be taken form the CD-ROM’s „DOS“ directory. There are two versions: Driver without interrupt „lpcdrv.exe“ Driver with interrupt „lpcdrv2.exe“. The driver files „lpcdrv.exe“ or „lpcdrv2.exe“ have to be copied onto the hard disk of your computer, e.g. -
