PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS PROPRIETARY INFORMATION OF

BOSE® CORPORATION WHICH IS BEING FURNISHED ONLY FOR

THE PURPOSE OF SERVICING THE IDENTIFIED BOSE PRODUCT

BY AN AUTHORIZED BOSE SERVICE CENTER AND SHALL NOT

BE REPRODUCED OR USED FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE.

SAFETY INFORMATION

1. Parts that have special safety characteristics are identified by the symbol on schematics or by special notes on the parts list. Use only replacement parts that have critical characteristics recommended by the manufacturer.

2. Make leakage current or resistance measurements to determine that exposed parts are acceptably insulated from the supply circuit before returning the unit to the customer. Use the following checks to perform these measurements:

A. Leakage Current Hot Check-With the unit completely reassembled, plug the AC line cord directly into a 120V AC outlet. (Do not use an isolation transformer during this test.) Use a leakage current tester or a metering system that complies with American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C101.1 "Leakage Current for Appliances" and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 1492 (71). With the unit AC switch first in the ON position and then in OFF position, measure from a known earth ground (metal waterpipe, conduit, etc.) to all exposed metal parts of the unit (antennas, handle bracket, metal cabinet, screwheads, metallic overlays, control shafts, etc.), especially any exposed metal parts that offer an electrical return path to the chassis. Any current measured must not exceed 0.5 milliamp. Reverse the unit power cord plug in the outlet and repeat test. ANY MEASUREMENTS NOT WITHIN THE LIMITS SPECIFIED HEREIN INDICATE A POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD THAT MUST BE ELIMINATED BEFORE RETURNING THE UNIT TO THE CUSTOMER.

B. Insulation Resistance Test Cold Check-(1) Unplug the power supply and connect a jumper wire between the two prongs of the plug. (2) Turn on the power switch of the unit. (3) Measure the resistance with an ohmmeter between the jumpered AC plug and each exposed metallic cabinet part on the unit. When the exposed metallic part has a return path to the chassis, the reading should be between 1 and 5.2 Megohms. When there is no return path to the chassis, the reading must be "infinite". If it is not within the limits specified, there is the possibility of a shock hazard, and the unit must be repaired and rechecked before it is returned to the customer .

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE SENSITIVE (ESDS)

DEVICE HANDLING

This unit contains ESDS devices. We recommend the following precautions when repairing, replacing or transporting ESDS devices:

• Perform work at an electrically grounded work station.

• Wear wrist straps that connect to the station or heel straps that connect to conductive floor

mats.

• Avoid touching the leads or contacts of ESDS devices or PC boards even if properly grounded. Handle boards by the edges only.

• Transport or store ESDS devices in ESD protective bags, bins, or totes. Do not insert unprotected devices into materials such as plastic, polystyrene foam, clear plastic bags, bubble wrap or plastic trays.

Section 1: PCC-10 Laptop PC Network Adapter Card Information

PCC-10 Network Adapter Card Installation Process

Note: Installation of the PCC-10 software must precede insertion of a PCC-10 card into a PC

Card Type II (PCMCIA) slot. Failure to install the software before inserting the card will render the card unusable until the

software and card are removed, and then reinstalled in the correct order. The six steps of the installation process are as follows:

• Install Windows PCMCIA driver if not currently installed. A Windows

PCMCIA driver must be installed prior to PCC-10 card installation. Under Windows 95, the PC Card driver is installed automatically when the PC Card drive is installed. (if this is not present, please consult your Windows 95 documentation).

• If you have purchased the LonManager

PCC-10 Protocol Analyzer, install the protocol analyzer applications following the instructions provided in the LonManager Protocol User's Guide. Note that you cannot use the LonManager ISA Protocol Analyzer card and a PCC-10 card in the same PC.

• Install the PCC-10 driver software as described below.

• Insert the PCC-10 card as described later in this section.

• Attach the PCC-10 network card cable.

• Install the LonWorks

Note: If the LonManager Protocol Analyzer software is installed after installing the PCC-10 card software, the PCC-10 card software must be re-installed.

PCC-10 Network Adapter Card Software Installation

Network Services (LNS) software, if needed.

Prior to installation, ensure that the computer is running the Windows 95 Operating System. The PCC-10 software cannot be installed from DOS or a DOS shell.

1. Close all open programs.

2. Insert the installation diskette into the PC.

3. Click the START button on the Windows 95 task bar and select the RUN command.

4. When prompted for a program name, enter the following:

a:\SETUP.EXE

If necessary, replace a: with the drive letter that corresponds to the drive containing the PCC-10 installation diskette.

5. When prompted with a list of languages, click on the desired language. A checkmark will appear to the left of the language to be installed.

Section 1: PCC-10 Laptop PC Network Adapter Card Information

PCC-10 Network Adapter Card Software Installation (continued)

6. When prompted for a destination directory, enter the desired installation directory. By default

this directory is c:\lonworks, unless previous LonWorks

products have been installed and registered a different path in the Windows® Registry. The path may be modified using the Browse button; however, if a directory other than c:\lonworks is chosen, the PCC-10 images path will have to be specified to enable use of the PCC-10 card. This is accomplished during PCC-10 configuration.

7. When the 16-bit Applications Support prompt appears, select "Yes" to enable the use of 16-bit applications with the PCC-10 card. This causes the installation program to add references to the DOS CONFIG.SYS file for the 'stub' device drivers named PCCLON1 and PCCLON2. This allows existing 16-bit applications, such as the LonManager® Protocol Analyzer's channel interface maker tool, to recognize these device names and use the PCC-10 card as a network interface. If the PC has more than two PC card slots, two additional stub device drivers can be created manually. To do so, add the following lines to the CONFIG.SYS file:

DEVICE=C:\LONWORKS\BIN\LDVSTUB.SYS /D:PCCLON3

DEVICE=C:\LONWORKS\BIN\LDVSTUB.SYS /D:PCCLON4

There is a limit of four (4) PCC-10 cards on a single PC. To access the PCC-10 card, the "PCCLONn" network interface naming convention must be

used, rather than the "LONn" naming convention used with other Echelon® products. Use of this naming convention will direct the software to use the PCC-10 card device driver under Windows rather than attempting to access the device under DOS.

Once this driver is installed and active, existing 16-bit Windows applications can access the PCC-10 card using the ldv_open(), ldv_close(), ldv_read(), and ldv_write() functions provided by the WLDV.DLL file.

The installation software installs a new WLDV.DLL file, replacing any previous versions of the file. The updated WLDV.DLL file is fully backward compatible with previous versions.

8. If the installation software discovers the SYSTEM.INI entry that loads the ISA-bus driver,

ECHLMPA.386, it will comment out the entry and display the message:

"SETUP has modified your SYSTEM.INI file by removing the following entry: device=echlmpa.386."

It is not possible to use the ISA-bus protocol analyzer card and the PCC-10 card on the same PC.

9. The installation software for the Windows 95 version will issue a prompt to add a DOS virtual-mode device driver file named LDVVDD.SYS to the DOS CONFIG.SYS file to support DOS applications to be used in a Windows 95 DOS shell/window. The following line is added to the CONFIG.SYS file:

DEVICE=C:\LONWORKS\BIN\LDVVDD.SYS /D1

Section 1: PCC-10 Laptop PC Network Adapter Card Information

PCC-10 Network Adapter Card Software Installation (continued)

10. Installation is complete. At the prompt to restart the computer, remove the PCC-10

installation diskette and restart the computer. Note that Windows

will not recognize the

PCC-10 card until the computer is restarted.

Windows 95 Warning

Some Windows 95 computer systems come equipped with hardware (such as a CDROM drive) that use its own card and socket services. These services replace those provided by Windows 95, and may contain incompatibilities that prevent the PCC-10 card from functioning.

One example is SystemSoft's CardWorks™ PCMCIA drivers, which are packaged with the Axonix ProMedia™ Portable CDROM Drive. To allow the PCC-10 card to operate with these drivers, some of its services must be disabled by commenting out the lines in the PC's

CONFIG.SYS file that contain the following instructions:

C:\CARDWORK\SSTOPIC.EXE, C:\CARDWORK\ATADRV.EXE, C:\CARDWORK\MTAA.EXE, C:\CARDWORK\MTAB.EXE, C:\CARDWORK\MTI1.EXE, C:\CARDWORK\MTI2P.EXE, C:\CARDWORK\MTATM.EXE, C:\CARDWORK\MTHB2.EXE, C:\CARDWORK\MTSRAM.EXE, C:\CARDWORK\MTTDRV.EXE, C:\CARDWORK\FTL.EXE, C:\CARDWORK\CARDID.EXE, C:\CARDWORK\AXONIXXR.EXE

PCC-10 Network Adapter Card Software Removal

To remove the PCC-10 software, use the Uninstall control panel as follows:

1. Close the "LonWorks® Plug n' Play" control panel, if it is open.

2. Choose the "Add/Remove Programs" icon from the Control Panel folder.

3. Select "LonWorks PCC-10" from the list under the Install/Uninstall tab.

4. Click the "Add/Remove..." button.

5. Confirm file deletion at the prompt. Most of the PCC-10 software will be removed automatically.

6. The LonWorks Plug n' Play control panel must be removed manually. Close the Control Panel folder if it is open. Rename C:\Windows\System\Pcc10cfg.cpl to C:Windows\System\Pcc10cfg.cpx, (where C: is the drive containing the Windows folder), then remove the file Pcc10cfg.cpx by placing it in the Recycle Bin. It is not necessary to empty the Recycle Bin at this time.

Windows will not allow deletion of Pcc10cfg.cpl because it is registered as a control panel. Renaming the file circumvents this Windows 95 restriction.

7. If necessary, edit the CONFIG.SYS file to remove any references to the LDVSTUB.SYS

driver.

Section 1: PCC-10 Laptop PC Network Adapter Card Information

PCC-10 Laptop Network Card Hardware Installation

Note: If the software has not been installed, please install it first using the procedures outlined

earlier in this section. The Windows without the software installed.

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 (PCMCIA) slot that conforms to this standard, whether the computer is on or off. In addition, the PCC-10 card is recognized as a UL Listed Accessory and is designed to be used with UL Listed equipment.

Do not force the PCC-10 card into the PC card slot. The PCC-10 card is keyed and can only be inserted one way into the PC card slot. In a Windows 95 environment, insertion of the PCC-10 card will cause the operating system to produce two brief tones: a low tone followed by a higher tone. Extracting the card will produce the tones in reverse order: high then low. If a device's properties window is open in the System Control Panel, the tones will be produced after the window is closed to confirm that the device is inserted correctly. Additionally, a PC Card icon may appear in the status area to the right of the Windows 95 taskbar.

operating system will not recognize the PCC-10 card

• 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.

• Under Windows 95, the device driver for the PCC-10 card is not loaded until the first

PCC-10 card is recognized. 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 modul0-4 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 during use

to ensure proper operation of the device and software.

• Under Windows 95, 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 new hardware can be configured when the PC has finished writing the device information.

Section 1: PCC-10 Laptop PC Network Adapter Card Information

PCC-10 Card Hardware Revisions under Windows

If a different, or newer, version of the PCC-10 card is inserted into the PC Card slot, a "New Hardware Found" window may be presented. In this event, a prompt will appear to select which driver should be installed for the new hardware. If the new hardware states that it is the "PCC-10 LonWorks® Network Interface", then choose the Windows default driver. This is the driver that is installed on the PC during the PCC-10 software installation. If the driver has a different name, you must be sure you have installed the proper software for that card. If not, click Cancel, remove the card, and then install the software for that card.

If the Windows default driver choice cannot be selected (or is shown in gray), the PCC-10 Card may have been erroneously inserted before the software was installed and the system rebooted. In this case, click Cancel, remove the PCC-10 Card if it is in a PC Card slot, then follow the Windows 95 Network Adapter Card Software Removal Procedure discussed earlier. Reinstall the PCC-10 software, reboot the system, and then insert the PCC-10 Card.

If cancel or an option other than Windows default driver is chosen, follow the instructions indicated for that selection below:

Cancel

If the Cancel button is accidentally selected, remove the PCC-10 card and re-insert it. This action will cause the New Hardware Found window to be displayed again. Choose the Windows default driver.

Do Not Install a Driver

If this option is chosen, the PCC-10 software must be re-installed to use the PCC-10 card. This screen will only be presented once.

Driver from Disk

Do not select this option. If this option is selected inadvertantly, a prompt will ask for a diskette containing the driver. Since the PCC-10 software installation diskette does not include a driver in a readable form, no driver will be found. In this case, cancel the request, remove the PCC-10 card, and re-insert it. This will cause the New Hardware Found window to be displayed again. Choose the Windows default driver.

Select from a List

Do not select this option. If this option is selected inadvertantly, a list of drivers is displayed which does not contain the required driver. In this event, cancel the request, remove the PCC-10 card, and re-insert it. This action will cause the New Hardware Found window to be displayed again. Choose the Windows default driver.

Section 1: PCC-10 Laptop PC Network Adapter Card Information

Configuring and Testing the PCC-10 Card under Windows

PCC-10 Configuration

PCC-10 card configuration is accomplished using the LonWorks® PCC-10 control panel. Open the control panel by selecting the "LonWorks Plug n' Play" icon in the Control Panel folder located in the My Computer folder on the Windows 95 Desktop.

The LonWorks PCC-10 control panel is divided into three parts: a device selection area, a general settings area, and a control section. The device selection area contains configuration settings and diagnostic controls that are specific to an individual PCC-10 card and its device driver. The general settings area contains settings for all PCC-10 cards used with the computer. The control section contains buttons for accepting or canceling the changes made in the control panel, as well as a Help button.

PCC-10 Initialization

In most cases, PCC-10 card initialization occurs automatically upon insertion. Manual initialization will be required following software installation to a directory other than C:\lonworks, or moving of the PCC-10 system images.

To manually initialize the PCC-10 card, verify that the control panel's System Image Path entry is correct, then click the Apply button.

An error will be reported if an attempt is made to modify the transceiver type before the PCC-10 card is initialized. Testing the card with the Diagnostics button, as suggested by the error message, produces the diagnosis: "Image file not found". In this case, return to the control panel's main dialog box, and manually initialize the PCC-10 card.

Device Specific Settings

The PCC-10 specific options consist of the following controls:

Device Selected

This setting controls which PCC-10 card is selected for configuration. The PCCLON1 and PCCLON2 drivers are installed by the installation software. If additional drivers have been manually installed, one or both of PCCLON3 and PCCLON4 will also be available.

Automatic Flush Cancel

This setting controls whether the device driver will automatically force the network interface (for the selected PCC-10 card) to leave the post-reset flush state whenever it is reset. The post-reset flush state prevents any inbound or outbound network traffic following a reset. If this box is not checked, it is up to the client application to manage this state. If it is checked, the device driver will automatically allow network traffic to resume. The default is checked.

Section 1: PCC-10 Laptop PC Network Adapter Card Information

Configuring and Testing the PCC-10 Card under Windows

95 (continued)

Device Specific Settings (continued)

NI Application

This setting controls the type of image or application to be used. (When using the LonManager® Protocol Analyzer software with the PCC-10 Protocol Analyzer card, this selection is handled automatically). A PCC-10 card can only hold one image at a time. Loading a new image will replace the currently loaded image. The choices for these images are determined by the image files (.NBI extension) found in the system image path specified under General Settings. Some of the possibilities include the following:

• PCC10L7, the basic network interface application image

• NSIPCC, the Network Services Interface application image.

Transceiver...

This control panel opens the PCC-10 Transceiver dialog box. Choosing this control will retrieve the transceiver configuration of the selected PCC-10 card. If there is no PCC-10 currently inserted in a PC card slot, a message appears under Windows 95 stating that the operating system has removed, or has not loaded, the PCC-10 device driver.

The default transceiver is an FT-10 compatible transceiver that is built into the PCC-10 card. Other standard transceiver configurations and a custom configuration may be selected using the Transceiver selection box. The Custom Properties controls are not accessible unless the Custom transceiver type is selected. If an error is received while modifying the Transceiver type, choose the Apply button, then proceed to modify the Transceiver type.

The PCC-10 card will be configured for the selected Transceiver when either the OK button or Apply button is chosen. While either button will configure the PCC-10 card, the OK button will also close the PCC-10 Transceiver window. To implement the changes, the PCC-10 card will reset whenever the transceiver configuration is changed.

The information in the Custom Properties area reflects the current configuration within the PCC-10 card. It will not change until a transceiver is selected, and then configured by using the OK or Apply buttons.

When configuring a custom transceiver or adding custom parameters for a standard transceiver, the values used in the Custom Properties Raw Data edit boxes must be entered as hexadecimal byte values separated by dashes. Further explanation of Raw Data values can be found in the LonBuilder® User's Guide.

Section 1: PCC-10 Laptop PC Network Adapter Card Information

Configuring and Testing the PCC-10 Card under Windows

95 (continued)

General Settings

The PCC-10 generic options consist of the following controls:

System Image Path

This control specifies the full directory path for the PCC-10 system images. This path is set by the PCC-10 Installation Software but may be modified by the user.

Layer2 and Layer6 Buffering

This setting controls the number of 4Kbyte operating system pages that are allocated for message buffering within the driver. The Layer2 setting is used by the LonManager® PCC-10 Protocol Analyzer only and generally should not be modified. The Layer6 setting is used for all other system images. The default setting of Layer2 buffering is 20 pages, and the default setting of Layer6 buffering is 6 pages. These values should be appropriate for most applications; embedded systems may need to change the number of buffering pages.

Enable PC Card Reset

This switch controls whether the PCC-10 card's PC Card hardware reset line is enabled. With the reset line enabled, the PCC-10 card operates in full compliance with the PCMCIA PC Card Standard, Release 2.1. However, this mode of operation reduces the card's resistance to electrostatic discharge (ESD) by making it susceptible to spurious resets introduced on the reset line by the host PC.

Disabling the reset line provides the full ESD resistance, without otherwise affecting card performance.

The default setting is unchecked, i.e., the PC Card reset is disabled.

The PCC-10 has a 15-pin network port connector for interfacing with a free topology or link power channel, and for connecting external transceiver pods.

Figure 1.1 shows the numbering scheme of the 15-pin Hirose male connector on the PCC-10 card. The top of the the PCC-10 card is the side with the product label. Figure 1.2 shows the pin-out of the mating female Hirose NX30TA-15PAA connector to which the network wiring or transceiver pod is connected. The Hirose connector plug should be protected with a cover (Hirose NX-15T-CV1).

Note: As listed in Table 1.1 on the next page, pins 14 and 15 of the connector are the FT-10 Network connection pins. This is where you would connect to your twisted-pair network. They are polarity insensitive.
