The first stepThe first step to install your ADwin system is always the installation of the
ADwin-CDROM (chapter 3 of this manual).
Please pay attention to the version number of the CDROM, especially if you
have an update. Depending on the interface, older versions do not always
have the necessary drivers.
For the installation under Windows NT and 2000 you need an ADwin CDROM,
version 3.00.2400 or higher, for Windows XP the version 3.20.0101 or higher.
System requirementsFor the operation in a PC (not notebook) you need an ADlink-PCI adapter
installed (see also the previous chapter "ADlink PCI adapter").
FunctionWith the ADpcmcia adapter a fast connection from your ADwin system to the
notebook is possible via the Windows plug & play feature. The adapter board
is retrofit for all Windows operating systems, notebooks and for most of the
Windows PC.
With the ADpcmcia adapter you can operate one or two ADwin systems. The
board is only used for data exchange between an ADwin system and the PC
or notebook.
The board is compatible to the PCMCIA standard 2.1, type II. The data transfer
rate is 10 MBit/sec physically or up to 250 kB/sec net.
Standard deliveryThe standard delivery of the ADpcmcia adapter consists of:
– ADpcmcia linkadapter board (in short: ADpcmcia adapter)
– ADlink cable (Link - PCMCIA, length about 2.0 meters)
for notebooks only:
Data transfer between the ADwin system and the notebook is made via
ADlink cable to the ADpcmcia adapter.
for notebook operation with an ADwin-Gold only:
The ADwin-Gold system requires an additional power supply unit, be-
cause neither the notebook nor the PCMCIA interface have a power
supply.
ContinueContinue with the following installation steps (please, pay attention to the order
of the installation):
– Driver installation
– Initialization of the hardware
– See also chapter 6.3 on page 29 if you want to operate several ADwin
systems with an ISA or PCI interface.
