This task enables systems to connect to a network, as well as collect all component characteristics such as manufacturer and chipset. However, in order to make use of all network card (adapter) features, you must install a proper LAN driver that enables the hardware. Windows platforms generally apply a generic driver that allows motherboards to recognize the Ethernet component. The OpenLDV 5 driver interface also works with Echelon's legacy network interfaces such as the PCLTA, PCLTA-10 and SLTA/2. SLTA-10 Serial LonTalk Adapter (requires separate driver) PCLTA-20 and PCLTA-21 PCI Network Interfaces i.LON 600 LonWorks/IP-852 Router with RNI U10, U20, and U60 USB Network Interfaces SmartServer and i.LON 100 Controllers with RNI IzoT Router with Remote Network Interface (RNI) OpenLDV 5 includes integrated drivers for the following Echelon network interfaces: The OpenLDV 5 driver supports network interfaces from Echelon, and also supports compatible network interfaces available from other manufacturers. The OpenLDV 5 Network Driver for Windows provides IzoT and LonWorks tools and applications with an open and unified Windows software interface for sending and receiving messages through LonTalk/IP and LON network interfaces.
